callmechef Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hi Folks, Does anyone have a tool that they use to make their own DIY meal plans. Maybe an excel spreadsheet that helps keep things organized and makes writing a menu a little easier. I could possibly make my own, but I rather not spend the time on it if someone already has something. Thank You! Raul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoakley13 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I've attached the two that I came up with for myself. I go grocery shopping on Friday night in case you're wondering why I started both on Saturday. menu planner 2.xlsx menu planner.xlsx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted August 29, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 29, 2018 It's not an excel sheet, but it is totally free: http://www.pepperplate.com/. They don't have recipes to choose from, you'll input your own, but if you need a place to keep recipes, grocery lists, and weekly/monthly meal plans together, it's pretty nice, and has both web-based and app access, so I usually input recipes on my laptop and make the grocery list there, but can use the app on my phone at the grocery store. Might not be at all what you're looking for, but thought I'd mention it in case it's helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Winn Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Here is a link to the weekly template we use. It has spots to note each meal and also a shopping list area at the bottom. We use this every week (Whole30 or not). https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18CeOuQaSDG9JhQF2ochB4IAMNlX9vYPz1gObJUM1_S8/edit?usp=sharing Also, we have used a service called Plan to Eat in the past and liked it. It allows you to import recipes, adjust servings and create shopping lists. It's relatively inexpensive too and you can try it out for 30 days free.

Stuntmother Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Here's the spreadsheet I created and which I'm currently working from, in case it's helpful! It's a work in progress, though, so fair warning! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WOGXCup1KyNrb_Yz--pecwFaRFn5u89FHItdQjqWXvo/edit?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finntx Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 We use PlanToEat which has a 30day trial period. It costs $39/year which to me is very reasonable and I'm sure it has saved us a ton over the years by making it so freaking easy to meal plan.
