Weekly Meal Planner

Builds a meal plan of one to four weeks by writing menus into day and meal cells, and adds up a shopping list from the ingredients attached to each menu. The plan, the shopping list and a large-print fridge sheet can be printed.

How to use

1. Tap a cell in the plan and type a menu, or select a cell and tap a menu under "My menus".
2. Drag the ⠿ handle under a cell onto another cell to move it, or use "Copy cell", "Paste" and "Clear cell".
3. Under "Manage menus and ingredients", write one "ingredient, quantity unit" line per ingredient; they are added to the "Shopping list".
4. Change the first day, length and meal names under "Days, weeks and meals", then press "Print meal plan" or "Print large fridge sheet".

How it works

• The same ingredient in the same unit is added up; different units are shown side by side. Three menus with "milk, 250 ml" give 750 ml.
• Set each ingredient's category with "Change categories", and tick what you already have to leave it out of printing and copying.
• Plans and menus are kept in this browser on this device; "Save to file" moves them to another device.
• The tool does not calculate nutrition or calories.

Questions and answers

Can I print a weekly meal plan template?

Yes. "Print meal plan" prints each week on one A4 or Letter page, with the days across in landscape or down in portrait.

How do I turn a meal plan into a grocery list?

Attach ingredients such as "onion, 1" to a menu. Every cell that contains that menu adds its ingredients, and menus without ingredients are listed below the shopping list.

Can I add a snack row?

Type the meal names separated by commas, for example "Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack". Up to six meals are possible.

Can I plan more than one week?

Set the length to 2, 3 or 4 weeks and switch between the weeks, or use "Duplicate" to copy a whole plan.
