# Nutrition planning: meal plans, recipes and daily targets

> Build recipes, weekly menus and multi-week meal plans in one place. Set calorie and macro targets, adjust plans per client and generate shopping lists.

## Plan nutrition that is ready to follow.

Build recipes, weekly menus and multi-week meal plans in one place. Reuse your best plans, adjust them for clients and keep every day on target.

## Build meals from real ingredients.

Create recipes with ingredients and exact amounts - calories and macros are calculated live, ready to drop into any day of the plan.

- **Real ingredients**: Add foods from the catalog with amounts in grams or household measures.
- **Live calories and macros**: Every ingredient updates the recipe's calories, protein, carbs and fat.
- **Scale the portion**: Resize a recipe and the amounts follow - no recalculating by hand.
- **Reusable by design**: Save recipes once and reuse them across meal plans and clients.

## Turn meals into weekly and multi-week plans.

Lay meals out across days and weeks, duplicate structures and build plans that are easy to repeat, adjust and assign.

## Keep every day on target.

Set calorie and macro targets per person, then watch the plan add up - every day shows its total, and the week shows its daily average and macro split.

- **Calories and macros**: Targets for calories, protein, carbs and fat - per person, not one-size-fits-all.
- **Live day totals**: Every planned day shows its calories and meal count at a glance.
- **Suggested from the survey**: Targets can start from the client's intake survey and stay fully editable.

## Save a good plan. Adapt it to the goal.

Save the meal plans that work. Then copy them, adjust calories and meals for a new goal or client, and reuse them without starting from zero.

- **A library of proven plans**: Meal plans and recipes in one place, ready to reuse.
- **A copy, not a blank week**: Duplicate a plan and start from meals that already work.
- **Adjust calories and meals**: Change targets, portions or recipes before assigning.

## Start from a template. Adjust it for one person.

Use a proven plan, then adjust targets, meals and portions for one person. Recipes you customize become that client's own copy - the original stays unchanged.

- **Start from a template**: Open a saved meal plan instead of a blank week.
- **Adjust for the person**: Change calorie targets, meals and portions for one goal.
- **Client-safe copies**: Customized recipes become a copy for that client - originals stay intact.

## Every planned day becomes a simple menu.

Clients open their day and see exactly what to eat - meals with recipes, ingredients, calories and macros - plus a shopping list generated from the plan.

## Useful for your own meals. Built for coaching clients.

Plan your own weeks, or build meal plans for the people you coach. The same builder works whether you cook for yourself or manage client plans.
