Navigate: Member App > Meal Plans
Quick Start
Open the meal plan you want to customize.
Click the Customize button to create a personal copy.
Adjust recipe servings or swap recipes as desired.
Add or remove recipes from your meal plan.
Review the updated shopping list that reflects your changes.
Overview
Members have the ability to create personal copies of meal plans published by admins and modify them to suit their needs. This includes:
Changing Recipe Servings: Members can adjust the number of servings for each recipe.
Swapping Recipes: Members can replace recipes with alternatives defined by the admin.
Adding or Removing Recipes: Members can include additional recipes or remove existing ones from their meal plans.
Reordering Recipes: Members can rearrange the order of recipes within their meal plan.
Managing Leftovers: Members can add, view, or delete leftover sessions in their meal plans.
When members make these modifications, they do not trigger publish notifications to other members, ensuring a seamless experience.
Yield-Based Recipes
For recipes that are yield-based (e.g., defined by weight or volume), members will adjust the yield amount instead of servings. For example, they might change a recipe that yields 500g to yield 250g.
How Modifications Affect Shopping Lists and Nutrition
Shopping Lists: Shopping lists are automatically generated based on the member's modified meal plan. If a member has a personal copy, the shopping list reflects their adjusted recipes and servings. Any changes made will mark the shopping list as stale, prompting regeneration based on the latest modifications.
Nutrition: Nutrition information is recalculated based on the modified recipes and servings. For yield-based recipes, nutrition is presented per the selected yield amount, ensuring members have accurate nutritional data for their customized meal plans.
Detailed Modifications

Members can adjust the servings directly from the meal plan grid view. This quick adjustment creates a personal copy if one does not already exist.
