Eat well on
$40 a week.

Meal plans built for college students who can't afford to throw out groceries. Tell me your budget — I'll do the math.

How it works

  1. 01

    A few facts about you

    Your fitness goal, weekly grocery budget, and the foods you won't eat. Basic biometrics so we can calculate your actual calorie target — not a round number someone made up.

  2. 02

    A week of real meals

    Seven days of meals sized to your macros and your budget. Calories and nutrients pulled from verified data, prices benchmarked to national averages.

  3. 03

    Take it to the store

    Every ingredient for the week, estimated prices, running total. Hit checkout knowing what it'll actually cost.

Why this exists

I was a sophomore eating ramen four nights a week because I couldn't figure out how to make $40 last seven days at the grocery store. Every meal-planning app I tried assumed I had a stand mixer and a Whole Foods budget.

I built NutriBudget for the version of me who needed it. If you're a broke student trying to eat real food on real money — this is yours.
