Guide
How to use a digital meal planner
Meal planning saves money and evening stress for one reason: you decide what's for dinner once a week instead of seven times. A digital meal planner keeps the plan, the grocery list and the recipes together so the decision only takes a few minutes.
Check what you already have
Before planning, look in the fridge and cupboards. Build the first two or three dinners around what needs using up.
Fill the weekly meal plan
The plan has rows for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks across the week. Most people only plan dinners and leave the other rows loose.
Write the grocery list on the same page turn
Each week has its own grocery list split into produce, dairy and eggs, meat and fish, pantry, frozen and household, so the shop follows the aisles.
Prep ahead on the weekend
The prep-ahead box on each meal plan lists jobs like washing salad or cooking rice that make weeknights faster.
Save the meals that worked
When a dinner is a hit, write it on a recipe card. After a few months you have a rotation to plan from, and planning gets quicker.
Keep the food budget honest
Note each shop on the expense log and compare it with the grocery line on the monthly budget. After a month or two you'll know what a normal week costs, which makes the plan more realistic.
What to include in a digital meal planner
A meal planner needs to connect three things: the plan, the shopping and the money. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Month calendars and a weekly page in columns, useful for noting busy evenings before you plan meals. There are no daily pages, so the planner stays light.
Meals

Every section can be switched off in the builder, and sections from other planners can be added.
Digital vs printable digital meal planner
A digital meal planner comes with you to the shop: open this week's grocery list on your tablet and tick items off as you go. Recipes are a tap away from the plan.
A printable meal planner works well on the fridge, where the whole household can see what's for dinner. Many families print the weekly meal plan and grocery list on A4 or US Letter each week and keep the recipe cards in a binder.

An example week in a digital meal planner
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

Can I print it?
Yes — choose A4, A5, Letter or Half Letter in the format step for a printable version.
Is there a meal planner template with a grocery list?
Yes. Every week in this planner has a meal plan page and its own grocery list page, sorted into aisles, linked from the weekly calendar. You can preview them free before you buy.
Is there a free digital meal planner?
You can build this digital meal planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Is the digital meal planner dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), 12 or 18 months, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the digital meal planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the digital meal planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 277 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Meals, Home & Meals and Budget pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off daily pages or sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
