Meal Plan Builder - Professional Diet Program Tool

Nebula's Meal Plan Builder is a powerful tool designed for dietitians. It connects to an extensive database containing millions of food products and brands. You can easily find most supermarket products by typing in the search box and add them to your meal plans.

The database content varies by country: local foods including European products, Spanish products, and brands from many countries are included. This way, you create meal plans with products your clients can actually buy.

Meal plans in Nebula are organized using a Plan → Day → Meal → Food hierarchy. From single-day plans to weekly or monthly programs, you can build at any scale.

Multi-day management:

• Add as many days as you need
• Duplicate an existing day with one click
• Load a day from a saved template
• Rename, delete, or reorder days with drag-and-drop

Flexible meal structure (per day):

• Default meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Dinner
• Add custom meals (e.g. "Mid-Morning Snack", "Pre-Workout")
• Rename, delete, or reorder meals with drag-and-drop
• Add any number of foods and recipes to each meal

Adding food to a meal plan is very easy. When you start typing a product name or brand in the search box, matching products from the Open Food Facts database appear instantly with calorie and nutritional values. You can easily find well-known brands from your local supermarket.

Supported countries: Spain (ES), Netherlands (NL), Germany (DE), Türkiye (TR). About 800,000+ products are searchable instantly, and the database is synchronized weekly so new products and brand updates flow into Nebula on a regular cadence.

Every time you add a food item to your meal plan, total calories, protein, carbohydrates, and fat values are updated in real time. You can set a daily calorie target and track progress with a progress bar.

No need for manual calculations. All nutritional values are automatically totalled, allowing you to create precise meal plans for your clients.

Meal plans accept more than just individual food items — you can add full recipes too. The built-in Recipe Database saves time and helps you build richer plans.

• 89 System Recipes: Professional ready-to-use recipes across 4 cuisines (TR, ES, DE, NL), available to every user
• Your Own Recipes: Build recipes from 500+ generic ingredients or from Open Food Facts products
• Serving Scale: Adjust portion count when adding a recipe and macros recalculate automatically
• Copy-on-Write: Customize a system recipe without touching the original — a personal copy is created for you

Save your frequently used meal plans as templates and load from them in future plans instead of starting from scratch. This dramatically cuts plan-building time for clients with similar goals.

• Save an entire plan as a template
• Load a single day from a template into a new plan (e.g. a typical Monday)
• Load the full template into a new plan
• Rename, edit, or delete templates

We removed the worry of losing work. Nebula auto-saves your changes when you switch tabs or close the page — no manual "Save" button required.

For mobile, a bottom sheet modal design keeps the experience as comfortable on phone and tablet as on desktop. Real-time macro calculation, drag-and-drop reordering, and recipe search all work fully on mobile.

You can use the meal plan you've built in several ways:

• Save as note: The plan is saved into the client's session notes
• Save as template: Add the plan to your template library for reuse
• Copy to clipboard: Paste the plan content into another application

Meal plans can also be included in professional PDF reports and shared with clients through the Client Portal — with full macro visibility (calories, protein, carbohydrate, fat).
