What a solo dietitian needs from software
No cap on clients
Unlimited clients on Pro and Max, so growing never means a bigger bill. You never pay per client.
Plans that look like your brand
Your logo on every diet plan PDF. On Max, the client app carries your practice’s name and logo.
Delivery where clients already are
Send the plan as a PDF on WhatsApp in one tap or by email, translated into the client’s language if needed.
Indian food you can trust
1,000+ IFCT ingredients with 22 nutrients each against ICMR 2020 RDAs, so any home-style dish you build gets a full breakdown.
Help without losing control
An AI assistant drafts meals, recipes and swaps when you ask; nothing reaches a client until you approve it.
Clients who stay on track
A client app for meal tick-off, water and photo logging, so you see adherence before the follow-up.
Admin in the same place
Intake forms on WhatsApp, appointments, renewals and GST invoices, so there’s no second tool to pay for.

Questions
What is the best software for a solo dietitian in India?
mealPlan.fit is built for dietitians who run the whole practice alone: unlimited clients, branded diet plans sent on WhatsApp in one tap, a client app, IFCT Indian food data and an AI assistant, from ₹1,999/month incl. GST. Sheetal Chhabria, a clinical dietitian in Bengaluru, grew from 8 to 66 clients in 7 months on it, on her own. If the lowest monthly price matters most, Nutrena (₹999/month) and WellnessZ (from ₹499/month for up to 40 clients) cost less.
Can one dietitian really manage 60+ clients?
Yes, if the software takes care of the arithmetic, formatting and delivery. Sheetal Chhabria manages 66 clients by herself and has delivered 449 diet plans in 7 months, every one of them her own work.
How much does mealPlan.fit cost for a solo dietitian?
Pro is ₹1,999/month or ₹19,999/year, incl. GST, with unlimited clients and 500 AI credits a month. Max is ₹2,999/month or ₹29,999/year and adds your own branding on the client app, the leads CRM and in-app client messaging. There is a 7-day free trial.
Does the AI make the diet plans?
No, you make every plan; the AI assistant helps when you ask, for example drafting a recipe, suggesting swaps or turning an old diet chart into an editable plan. Nothing reaches a client until you share it.
Is there free software for solo dietitians?
A spreadsheet is free, and works for a handful of clients. Most dietitian software in India now starts with a trial rather than a free plan: mealPlan.fit has a 7-day trial, WellnessZ 14 days and Nutrena 30 days. mealPlan.fit also has free diet plan and intake templates at mealplan.fit/resources, no signup needed.
Can I send diet plans to clients on WhatsApp?
Yes, every plan goes out as a branded PDF on WhatsApp in one tap, or by email or to the client app, and the PDF can be translated into the client’s language.
