How the meal plan works

Updated 2026-09-02

The Meal Plan tab is a single plan the whole household shares. Everyone sees and edits the same weeks.

  • A week at a time. Use the arrows or Today to move between weeks. You can plan 8 weeks back and 8 weeks forward.
  • No meal slots. There's no breakfast / lunch / dinner. Each day is just an ordered list of recipes you drop in.
  • The week starts on whatever day your household has set in Settings — see Changing when your week starts.

An empty day shows "No meals planned". Start filling it — see Adding a recipe to your week.

If the Meal Plan tab is missing, it's hidden in your Settings — see Hiding the Meal Plan or Grocery tab.
