Want to build your weekly meal plan from the ground up? Whether you want full control or just don’t need automatic suggestions, here’s how to start with a blank plan and add exactly what you want.
Step 1: Turn Off Automatic Suggestions
To start fresh:
- Go to your Settings.
- Toggle off Meal Plan Suggestions.
This will prevent new plans from being auto-filled with recipes.
Step 2: Add Recipes Manually
There are a few ways to add recipes to your plan:
- From the Meal Plan view: Click the + next to any meal and select Add a Recipe.
- From Quick Search (Desktop only): Use the magnifying glass in the sidebar to search and drag recipes into your plan.
- From the Recipes page: Use the three-dot menu on any recipe to select Add to Meal Plan.
Step 3: Customize Your Plan
Once recipes are in place, you can:
- Move them between days and meals.
- Delete any you don’t want.
- Add individual items or leftovers.
- Adjust your servings in Settings.
Quick tip: You can also leave meals blank by setting servings to 0 — perfect for nights out or flexible days.
That’s it. You’ve got a fully custom meal plan, made just for you.
