What is a Meal Plan?
Creating a Meal Plan allows coaches to seamlessly integrate recipes into a client’s meal plan calendar. The meal plan, or "Meal Guidance" if you choose to name it so, empowers your clients, allowing them to easily create shopping lists, follow along with recipes, and log macros for their meals. This is the most comprehensive way to offer nutrition coaching.
With Meal Plan Templates, you can build out multi-week meal programs, with which you can assign and roll out meal plans to multiple clients with just a few simple clicks. You can customize these templates based on different dietary needs and preferences or set them up for different phases of your client's training plan.
This feature is available with the 'Custom Meal Plans' add-on.

Step 3: Add a recipe from the recipes library
Once in the program calendar, simply go to a certain day and click on the + Add Meal button to start building your desired meal plan.

Once you've added a recipe to your meal plan, you have the flexibility to adjust the order of your meal category by simply dragging and dropping it on the Meal Plan calendar.
Or you can edit it to add or remove recipes according to your preferences.
