This planner includes the planner in two layouts and a master sheet of meals to records all the types of preferred or favourite meals.

Using the template

Begin by downloading this template and recording the list of food items that you prefer to eat. Involve everyone at home including kids to identify a comprehensive list of meals they like. You can then use this list later for selecting from drop down lists.

This template includes two planners as follows:

• Planner A: Use this sheet to plan your main meal and side meals using drop down lists for your breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner. In this layout you can manage the information from Monday to Sunday, organized in one after the other format. This sheet also has Grocery List which allows you to plan the things that you need to purchase.
• Planner B: With this sheet, you can plan your main meal and side meals using drop down lists for your breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner as above. However in this layout you can manage the information from Monday to Sunday, in side to side format which means you can view two days together. This sheet also has Grocery List which allows you to plan the things that you need to purchase.
• Meals: This sheet has comprehensive list of food choices for breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks and dinner that can be used as dropdown list in Planner A and Planner B. You also have an option to add values in this sheet. For doing that, you can use a "Tab" on your keyboard to move between the cells. New rows are added automatically when using "Tab" key.
