Why Are Some Days Empty in My Meal Plan?

Not seeing a recipe every day? Don’t worry — that’s intentional.

Depending on the style of your meal plan and the preferences of the creator, some days may be left empty on purpose. Here’s why:

1. Built-in Flexibility

Some plans intentionally leave gaps on certain days (like Fridays or Saturdays) so you can:

  • Enjoy a night out

  • Eat leftovers

  • Cook a family favorite

  • Take a break from the kitchen

This flexibility is part of what makes your meal plan sustainable — it’s not about cooking 21 meals a week without rest.

2. Make It Your Own

Empty days are a great chance to:

  • Repeat a meal from earlier in the week

  • Add one of your own recipes or ingredients

  • Leave it open for something spontaneous

You’re always in control. If you want to fill in the gaps, you can add your own meals or browse the recipe library.

3. Not a Bug — It’s a Feature

Your meal plan is thoughtfully designed to support your lifestyle, not overwhelm it. These empty slots are there to give you space to be flexible, real, and human.

That’s it. You’re not missing anything — your plan just has breathing room built in.
