What is a free-text meal plan?

In Almendra's free-text meal plan you type each meal by hand instead of picking foods from the database; calories and nutrients are not calculated.

Updated January 7, 2022

In a free-text meal plan, you can write directly in each meal; you don’t need to add foods from the databases.

The main difference with a free-text meal plan is how you enter foods into the meals.

Things you should know:

  1. You can write whatever you want; it’s completely free

  2. Write one food per line

  3. The plan’s calories and nutrients won’t be calculated

  4. You can include recipes (ingredients and instructions). We recommend reading this article: How do I add recipes to a free-text meal plan?

  5. You can copy a day, clear a day, and have days off
