Clean Simple Eats ‪+‬ 4+

I went into this program not expecting much honestly. A year later - and much to my surprise - this has been the absolute best meal plan I have ever done! Word of caution we tried the recopies with protein powders we found at GMC or Target and they were clumpy and not as good, but when we switched to the CSE protein the experience was night and day. Their product is so smooth and while I was against the flavored protein powders at first, much to my surprise I love them! The nut butters are really good although I still prefer organic peanut butter or almond butter with certain recopies and to save on cost but overall they are good and worth the cost as well. My recommendation would be to get a food scale (a must!!), at least one physical book, and one bag of protein (brownie / chocolate works well) for your first challenge. In order to track your macros use the app! It’s the best way to set your macros and figure out your daily meals and snacks. Once you get in the groove this program rocks! One more tip - I know they say to do the meal prep on Sunday but I found it worked better to focus on three days at a time for us since I consider myself a beginner in the kitchen and we wasted some groceries in the beginning buying too much. Overall, I have to admit my wife was right on this one and I absolutely LOVE the CSE program. Good luck!!

So glad you're loving CSE, Oxucsb! Thanks for the review!

I waited a long time to get this app and subscription because I was stubborn and have all the digital books. Having the app has changed everything for me! Before, I was using 3 different apps (books, tracking macros, grocery list) plus using paper to meal plan and then calculating macros while figuring out recipes. I rarely planned for lunch because breakfast and dinner were exhausting enough. I was going back and forth between books trying to remember which books recipes were in. Meal planning was such a chore and my life is too busy for that, so some weeks meal planning just wasn’t happening and then meal times were chaos. Since getting the app subscription 3 weeks ago, I have been able to do all I was previously doing in a fraction of the time and I have lost 5 pounds. I plan my meals out at least two weeks in advance, I have easy access to them, my husband can easily find recipes, my macros are calculated for me, and my grocery list is auto generated each week. Searching on the app is a breeze, I am loving the extra recipes the app provides and I am loving the free shipping on products. Everything is well thought out and I will be a life-long subscriber. I am SO happy with the CSE app!

You're not alone, MrsPaulsen! We're so glad it's working for you!

I LOVE the CSE recipes and products and workouts and that it’s all in an app now! I love everything about it - except that I need a separate app to track everything I ate for the day and make sure I’m staying within my calories and macros. If you added a tracker where it would let you add the meal from the plans portion of the app and automatically populate the calories and macros and your tally for the day, that would be amazing and make it a one stop shop. I currently use fitness pal to track my meals and exercises but it’s time consuming to add all the meals from CSE and it doesn’t calculate the calories the same based on the ingredients so I usually just add the calorie total but then I can’t track the macros too.

Anyway - love you guys and your products - just some thought for maybe a next step for people who have made CSE a way of life and an easier way to stick to it!!

Hi hdisaac, thanks for this review! I know it's from last year, so hopefully you know by now that the app DOES have this tracking functionality now! We'd love it if you checked it out and updated your review, if you feel it's warranted :)
