Growing, but name searches are down 26% since October 2025.

Over two years, visits went from 873K in November 2024 to a high of 1.9M in June 2026, and stand at 1.7M in October 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, Eat This Much, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are up and name searches are down, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai meal planner” is searched about 1,600 times a month worldwide, 45% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai meal planner” until August 2025; interest then climbed to its peak in May 2026.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

More visits than a year ago, but fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The fastest growers over the year, Strongrfastr, Eat This Much and eMeals, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Plan to Eat, lost ground (-30%).

Miles explains

Huge percentages like Strongrfastr’s +339% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect November 2026 to be about the same as October 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months.

Expected in November 2026

1,684,075 visits

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 5 times.

The most visited is Eat This Much, with 1.3 million visits a month, 78% of all visits.

Eat This Much and Strongrfastr together hold 90% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 7 sites share 0.5%.

Miles explains

Eat This Much alone has 78% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
