1. 4/5Tracking needed

   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!!

2. 5/5Better than expected

   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!!

3. 5/5Everything I hoped for and more

   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!

4. 3/5Great but can use some additions to make for sustainability

   The recipes are delicious. The program makes it easy to keep track of macros. I love the shopping list feature. I love the wide variety of foods and “treats” that feel like I’m indulging and yet still staying in my macro count. However, this program is not long-term sustainable if you're cooking for a busy family life. Often you have to find out your serving size of the main dish by weighing the final product and dividing it. With the coming and going of family, and often tripling recipes so you have enough to fill hungry teenage boys, this makes it difficult. It would be helpful if they added a serving size by grams or cups, then if there’s anything left after everyone else is full you would still know how much to put away for the next day. It would also be helpful to add prep time and cook time required to the recipes. Also, to make recipes searchable by slow cooker, cook-time, etc. That way menu prep would not take as long as you try to find things that will fit into your busy evenings. It would also be awesome if they could work on more plant-based recipes. The plant based recipes available are mostly mediocre.

5. 3/5Design of ap great. Content not so much

   The developers of the app did a fantastic job. Super easy to use and convenient. I really haven’t been in love with the recipes (cooking techniques are really amateur). And I can’t eat dairy and can only tolerate small amounts of meat, which means almost every recipe is not appropriate for me. And recipes labeled “plant based” almost always include dairy and often seafood. Seems like the recipe writers need to educate themselves on the definition of plant based. I’ve been following for a week now on the cse challenge and remembered why my urologist told me to avoid meat/dairy because I’ve already had 4 kidney stones. Haven’t had those in a long time, which is always aggravated by high animal protein in my diet. High protein diets really aren’t great for cardiovascular health or kidney health so this program isn’t one that I’ll stick with. Also have noticed this diet has decreased the fiber I typically consume. If you’re new to health and fitness and don’t have dietary restrictions, this is probably appropriate for you. If you’re not a novice and you have dietary restrictions, probably look elsewhere.
