Meals
Weekly plan and meal prep
This week is the meal plan: Monday to Sunday, with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Plan a recipe or a quick note like “Leftovers” on each day, then send the whole week’s ingredients to the grocery list in one tap. Prep plans a batch-cooking day and spreads the portions across the week.
The plan is shared, so both of you see what’s for dinner.
When to use it
- Sunday planning: fill the week, then shop once.
- Repeating a good week without planning it again.

- Those meals then show on This week, marked · Prep.
- Tap Add everything to Groceries to put every batch on the list, scaled to the portions.
- Use the Prep checklist for the steps of the day. Fill from recipes adds a “Cook” line for each recipe, plus Portion into containers and Label and put away.
- Add notes, like which containers or who’s cooking.
A prep day stays at the top through the week it covers. Older ones fold away; tap Show past prep days (it shows the count) to see them.
Tip: Today’s meals also show at the top of the Today list, with the recipe’s photo. Tap one to open the recipe.
