Cooking for one? Plan for one.
3 dinners. 1 grocery list. Nothing wasted. Most meal planners start at two servings. You end up eating the same thing for four days, or watching half a cauliflower go bad. 3Onions plans single portions, shares ingredients across your week and counts fresh food by the whole pack, so what you buy gets used.
Built for one
- Dinner only, or leftovers for lunch. You choose. Dinners that keep well make a second portion for tomorrow.
- Nothing stranded in the fridge. Your grocery list shows what gets used up, and leftovers go into next week’s plan first.
- Tonight, decided. A photo, the steps and one tap when it’s done. Not feeling it? Swap for something that uses what you already bought.
Leaving Mealime?
Mealime is closing on October 21, 2026. If you cooked for one on it, 3Onions is built for exactly that: dinners for one, one grocery list, nothing wasted. Your first week will be free when the app launches. 3Onions is an independent app and is not affiliated with Mealime.
