Menus are reusable collections of planned recipes, ingredients, and notes that can be added to your Planner. Build menus that span one mealtime, one day, a full week, or even an entire month.
Accessing Menus
From the Plan tab, tap the Meal Planner dropdown at the top of the screen and select Saved Menus.
Creating a New Menu
From Saved Menus, tap + New Menu.
Enter a title for your menu, or keep the default title.
Tap the checkmark to save and open the blank menu.
Adding and Managing Content in a Menu
Use the - and + stepper to set the number of days in your menu, or tap + Add a Week to add 7 more days at once.
Tap the + on any day to add a recipe, ingredient, or note to that day, the same way you would on your Planner.
Tap an existing recipe, note, or ingredient within the menu to edit, remove, duplicate, or reschedule it.
Planning a Menu
Open the saved menu you'd like to add to your calendar.
Tap Plan Menu at the bottom of the screen.
Select the date you'd like the menu to start and preview the number of days the Menu will span on your Planner.
Tap the checkmark to save.
Managing a Menu
Open a saved menu and tap the three-dot menu in the upper right to access:
Rename Menu. Update the menu's title.
Manage Tags. Organize your menus using tags. Menus and recipes share the same tag list. Tap Manage Tags, select one or more existing tags, and save.
Private. Toggle this on to keep a menu visible only to you. Private menus display a closed lock icon in your menu list and cannot be seen or accessed by your Friends in Plan to Eat.
Duplicate Menu. Create a copy of the menu to use as a starting point for a new one.
Delete Menu. Permanently remove the menu.
Viewing Friends' and PTE Menus
From Saved Menus, tap the Friends or PTE Menus tab to browse menus shared by your friends or created by Plan to Eat. Tap any menu to preview its contents.
From a friend's or PTE menu, you can:
Plan Menu. Add it directly to your Planner.
Copy Menu. Save your own editable copy to My Menus.
ℹ️ You cannot edit a friend's or PTE menu directly. To make changes, copy it to My Menus first.
