When someone doesn’t know where to begin, cooking can be a black hole of time consumption.

And the major problem with cooking is that these people have to think about it every single day, making it a huge time waster if they don’t know what they’re doing.

Thanks! We’ve had a great response so far and are growing quickly. It seems that not only I had the problem of cooking for one :)

I think your service is very interesting as it can really help people eat well without sacrificing their hard earned time :)

We’re 100% focused on simplicity for the busy professional, so once per week the grocery shopping list and meal plan is sent via email (with PDFs as links). They’re optimized to be viewed on mobile devices so there’s no printing, squinting, or ‘pinching’ needed!

A mobile app is definitely on our roadmap but isn’t available quite yet.

If you’re interested I’d be happy to send you a couple of meal plans. Email jeff [at] mealime [dot] com and let me know!

That’s a really interesting service you offer!
Could you please clarify how the shopping lists are sent to the phones – as SMS? Or does a user need some special application installed on the phone for that?

I totally agree that cooking for one can be a chore, especially for busy professionals whose time is already scarce. And you’re right that cooking for others can liven up the experience, though it isn’t always possible.

I actually created a meal planning service exclusively for singles and busy professionals struggling with cooking for one. It’s called Mealime (www.mealime.com) and is very popular with busy professionals. Just another way to solve the problem of cooking for one!

Thanks again for the post.
