Not at all! We designed this meal plan to teach you how to cook!

Feel free to swap it with something that suits your taste preferences! If you just didn’t the variation of the base recipe, try a different combination of ingredients next time. You can always refer to the original base recipe on our website, where we provide lots of delicious variation ideas.

If you just don’t like the recipe suggested, choose from any of our recipes or any of your favorites, and be sure to follow the Whole Life Plate guidelines!

Nope! All of our recipes are designed to be made with essential kitchen equipment that any home cook should have.

The Whole Life Meal Plan costs a one-time price of $75.

That’s less than $4 per day – the cost of a gallon of gas or coffee shop beverage! It’s also half the cost of a one-on-one dietitian consultation. Luckily for you, this meal plan is designed by dietitians, so you still get expertly-made recipes, nutrition information, and support!

If you follow this meal plan for the full recommended 21 days and haven’t learned to cook confidently or don’t feel better by the end of it, get your money back, guaranteed!

Yes! Students, veterans, seniors, and individuals eligible for SNAP and WIC are eligible for 30% off the meal plan. Send us an email at contactus@totaste.com and we will send you a one-time discount code.

This really depends on your baseline skills, cooking confidence, ingredients you have on hand, as well as the number of people for whom you’ll be cooking. 

We estimate that you will spend 2-3 hours per week cooking/preparing meals. That’s for ALL meals and snacks!

How you break this time up is up to you. Some people like meal prepping at the beginning of the week, whereas others like to cook for each meal. Do what works best for you! 

That’s okay; life happens! This meal plan is designed to reduce the stress in your life, not add to it! We included two “choose your own adventure” meals in the plan to give you the flexibility to change the plan as needed.

Simply move on to your next meal, and be sure to use those leftover ingredients to prevent food waste.

Not at this time. We are working on integrating that technology into our platform and will announce when we do!

No. This is a chef/dietitian-made meal plan, which does not serve as a replacement for nutritional counseling or medical advice. If you need specific guidance on how to manage your health, weight, or medications, find a dietitian in your area that can help you achieve your individual goals.

It can! The base recipe concept in this meal plan allows you to adjust the recipes to suit your picky eaters’ taste preferences. Many of these recipes can also be individually assembled, giving your picky eater the power to choose what goes on their plate.

Don’t let the cooking journey end there!
