meal planners

Weekly food organizers

Meal planners are tools or systems for organizing what to eat over a period of time, typically a week.

They range from simple paper charts to apps that generate shopping lists and recipes.

A meal planner might also be a person who does this professionally—for households, institutions, or dietary programs.

The goal is reducing daily decision-making about food: I use a meal planner to avoid the 5 p.m. panic.
