Why: Empower your members to personalize their meal plans by allowing them to swap recipes, adjust servings, and create custom versions. This flexibility enhances their experience and keeps them engaged with your content.

Overview
Members can create personal copies of meal plans and modify them to fit their needs. This includes:
Changing recipe servings
Swapping recipes with alternatives defined by the admin
Adding or removing recipes
Reordering recipes within the plan
Managing leftover sessions
These modifications allow members to tailor their meal plans to their preferences and dietary needs.
Personal Copies
When a member customizes a meal plan, they create a personal copy. This copy is independent of the original meal plan, meaning any changes made will not affect the original. Importantly, personal copies do not trigger publish notifications to other members.
Modifications and Their Effects
Adjusting Servings: Members can change the number of servings for recipes directly from the meal plan grid view. For yield-based recipes, they can adjust the yield amount instead (e.g., changing from 500g to 250g).
Swapping Recipes: Members can replace recipes with alternatives. This is done easily through the meal plan interface.
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 will reflect their changes, ensuring they have the right ingredients for their customized meals.
Nutrition Information: The nutrition values are recalculated based on the modified servings or yield amounts. This ensures that members receive accurate nutritional information tailored to their specific meal plan adjustments.
Example of Modifications
If a member wants to make a recipe that serves 4 but only needs enough for 2, they can adjust the servings accordingly. For yield-based recipes, they might change the yield from 500g to 250g, ensuring they only prepare what they need.
Accessing the Meal Plan Modifications
Members can access these features through the meal plan detail page. The Customize button allows them to create a personal copy, where they can make all the necessary adjustments.
