How do I plan meals and make a shopping list?
Add meals in Meal Planner, then open its Shopping List tab to see what to buy.
This needs an account. Sign in to the app first.
Steps
- Open Wellness, then Nutrition Hub, then Meal Planner.
- Open the Add Meal tab. To reuse a meal or one of your recipes, search for it and tap Use.
- Pick the Category and the Plan Date. Type the Meal Name. Add each ingredient with Add Ingredient. The shopping list is built from ingredients.
- Tap Save to Plan.
- Open the Weekly Plan tab. Pick a day to see its meals. Tap Log this meal to add a planned meal to your food log, or Copy to Next Day.
- Open the Shopping List tab. It lists the ingredients of this week's planned meals and adds up amounts when the units match.
- Tick items as you buy them. Use Add Item Manually for anything else, Share List to send it, and Clear Bought to tidy up.
Two shopping screens
The Shopping List screen in the Nutrition Hub is separate. Its Meal Plan tab is a grid kept on this device only. Its Add planned meals to list button adds one item for each meal, named Ingredients and the meal name. It does not list the ingredients.
Items you add by hand save to your shopping list in your account, in either place. In the Meal Planner, the tick marks on ingredient lines stay on this device for the current week.
About cost
Any cost shown on the list is a built-in estimate. SOS does not read live store prices.
