Meal Plan Software for Nutritionists & Dietitians

Client data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest. Practices can use anonymous client identifiers, restrict per-clinician access through role-based controls, and export or delete a client's full record on request. Melio is not a HIPAA covered entity by default and this page does not promise a signed BAA — if your jurisdiction requires one, contact us before onboarding patient data so we can review your specific setup. Full posture is documented on our privacy page.

Macros and micronutrients come from USDA FDC and SR Legacy food composition data. Diet-pattern templates (gluten-free, vegan, low-FODMAP, diabetes-friendly, renal-friendly, etc.) are encoded against documented thresholds, and every plan exposes the per-meal and per-day breakdown so a credentialed clinician can verify the math. The full process is on our methodology and safety pages so you can cite it in chart notes.

Melio is a meal-planning tool, not a substitute for clinical judgement. Many of our nutritionist users treat the AI output as a starting draft they edit before sending to clients. The platform exposes every input the AI uses (height, weight, goals, allergies, restrictions) so the clinician can challenge, override, or refine any meal. For medical-nutrition-therapy use cases, your supervising clinician remains responsible for final approval.

There's a public API that exposes plan generation, client CRUD, and export endpoints, which most practices use to push plans into existing CRMs or telehealth platforms. We don't ship native EHR connectors today (Epic, Cerner) — talk to us about your specific integration before committing if that's a hard requirement.

Every plan generates a branded PDF with your logo, your contact details, the full per-meal macro breakdown, recipes with prep notes, and an aggregated weekly shopping list. PDFs are deterministic so you can attach them to client charts as a stable artifact. CSV exports of macros are also supported for clinics that want to drop nutrition data into their own analytics.

Solo practitioners use the standard professional tier. Multi-clinician practices move to a multi-seat plan with discounted per-clinician pricing and centralized billing. We do not bill insurance directly — you continue to bill your own visits, codes, or membership fees as you do today, and Melio is the production tool you use during and between visits. Live pricing and seat counts are on the pricing page.
