1. Choose from our recipes
On Recipes, tap Add recipe, then Choose from ours. Narrow it by breakfast, lunch or dinner, and by cheap, lower carb, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free or quick. You can choose more than one, such as vegetarian and gluten free.
Tap a meal to see what goes in it and how to make it, then tap Add to my recipes. It is yours from then on, and you can change anything in it. Only the ones you choose are added. Tap Surprise me if you would like us to pick one to look at.
2. What the labels mean
- High protein: every meal has at least 20 grams of protein a serve.
- Family friendly: mild flavours, with no chilli, alcohol or nuts in the ingredients.
- Lower carb: 30 grams of carbohydrate or less a serve.
- Cheap: built on things like eggs, beans, lentils, mince and chicken thigh, without the dearer cuts or seafood.
Calories, protein, carbs and fat are estimates per serve, worked out from the ingredients using the Australian Food Composition Database and Australian product labels. Products differ, so for an allergy or coeliac disease, check the packets. Gluten free and dairy free describe the ingredients we list, not how a product was made. This is general cooking information, not medical or dietary advice.
3. Spin for dinner
In the Meal plan, under Dinner, tap Can’t decide? Surprise me. You can keep it to cheap, lower carb, vegetarian or quick. The wheel uses your own recipes, and you can choose to add ours too. Spin again if it is not the night for it, or choose a night and add it. A meal from ours is saved to your recipes at the same time.
The wheel appears when this week still has a dinner to plan, from today on.
4. Plan breakfast, lunch and dinner
Choose Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner at the top of the meal plan, then tap a day to pick a recipe or jot a note. The shopping list below gathers every meal planned that week, and counts a meal once for each time you planned it.
