Halal Meal Planner

Halal meals, planned to your macros.

State that you eat halal once, in onboarding. After that, every meal iMeal suggests, every plan it builds, and every recipe it generates is halal-appropriate — with exact macros, built around your goal and the calories you have left for the day. Plus an auto-generated grocery list, and calorie tracking on a halal diet without the manual data entry.

From "what's halal and hits my macros?" to your week, planned

Eating halal and eating for a goal usually means two kinds of searching at once. iMeal removes both.

1

State halal once

In a 20-question onboarding, set your goal, body stats, that you eat halal, any allergies, your cuisine likes, cooking time, and budget.

2

Pick 1 to 14 days

Tap the range. iMeal fills every empty meal slot with a real, halal-appropriate recipe — smart calorie distribution, variety across the week.

3

Cook, shop & track

Each recipe has cooking steps. The grocery list is auto-built. Log what you eat by photo, barcode, or text — calories and macros, no database searching.

Not "eat a chicken bowl." A complete recipe.

A halal meal suggestion isn't a category. It's everything you'd need to actually make and log it.

One tap produces:

  • A named dish — something specific and cookable, generated to respect that you eat halal.
  • Ingredients with quantities — every component listed with portions, ready to drop into the grocery list.
  • Step-by-step cooking instructions — so you can actually make the meal, not just look at a picture.
  • Exact macros — calories and protein/carbs/fat per ingredient and total, already counted against your daily target.
  • Prep time — long if you're batch-cooking on Sunday, short if it's a weeknight.
  • Built around your day — it accounts for your goal, your halal diet, your allergies, the macros you have left, what you've already eaten, the calories you've burned, the time of day, your cuisine preferences, your cooking-time limit, and your budget.

Log a halal meal however it shows up

A home-cooked plate, a packaged snack, or "a lamb shawarma and rice" — you're never locked into one way to log.

Snap a photo

Photograph the plate. iMeal identifies the ingredients, reconstructs the recipe, and returns per-item and total macros — with a confidence score. Add a note like "half portion" or "no sauce" and the estimate adjusts before it logs.

Scan a barcode

Scan any package for the full nutrition label from a database of millions of products. Free and unlimited, even on the free tier.

Just type it

Type "chicken kebab with rice and salad" and get instant calories and macros. Handles vague input gracefully — no searching a database, no exact match required.

Targets for your body

Your daily calorie goal and protein/carb/fat targets are calculated from your stats and goal — a real deficit, surplus, or maintenance number, not a generic chart. Eat halal and hit it.

For eating halal and eating for a goal

You meal-prep for the week

Pick 7 days, get a coherent halal week with the grocery list ready. Buy once, cook in batches, hit your macros without thinking about it.

You're fasting for Ramadan

Set your eating window in onboarding. iMeal supports fasting windows, so suggestions and timing fit suhoor and iftar — and the macros still add up to your goal.

You train and eat halal

Burned 600 calories at the gym? The next suggestion comes back higher-calorie to match — still halal, still on target. Activity-aware, not a fixed plan.

You have other restrictions too

Halal and dairy-free? Halal and diabetic-friendly? State them all once. Every suggestion respects the full set, not just one.

Common questions

Can I track calories on a halal diet with iMeal?

Yes. Log any halal meal by photo, barcode, typing it, or manually, and iMeal returns calories and protein, carbs, and fat. Your daily targets are calculated from your body stats and goal, so you can run a deficit, surplus, or maintenance on a halal diet without manual database searching.

Will iMeal ever suggest non-halal ingredients?

State halal in onboarding and the meal suggestions, plans, and recipes iMeal generates respect it. Add your allergies and other restrictions too, and you won't see those ingredients in a suggestion. It is generated to your stated diet, not a separate halal mode.

Does it work for Ramadan or intermittent fasting?

Yes. iMeal supports fasting windows in onboarding. Set your eating window and the meal suggestions and timing respect it, which fits suhoor and iftar during Ramadan as well as everyday intermittent fasting.

Can I get a single halal meal idea without planning a whole week?

Yes. One tap gets a single halal meal idea that fits exactly what you have left for the day in calories and macros, plus the time you have to cook. Useful when 5pm hits and you don't know what to make. You don't have to plan a full week to use it.

iMeal is free to download, and barcode scanning is free and unlimited even on the free tier. Meal planning and AI meal suggestions are Premium features, and the Premium trial lets you test the planner before committing.
