Is there a list of recommended foods or sample meals listed in this app?

Hi, I am new here. If such a list exists, where would I find it in the app?

    There are a bunch of recipes in the MFP blogs:

    In the MFP phone/tablet app, there are "Recipe Discovery" and "Meal Plan" features, but I think some or all of that is only available in premium MFP (not free MFP). Not sure.

    Good meal plans tend (IMO) to be individualized to our own personal preferences, strengths, lifestyles and challenges. In that sense, a process like the one in this thread can be used to remodel eating habits to a more positive form:

    There's no one universal exact formula that will work for everyone, IMO, so experimenting and personalizing is good. Some of the fitness/health marketing organizations are very good at convincing us that we need their special meal plans, recipes, or workout programs to succeed. Personally, I think that any of us can figure it out ourselves, using some common sense and learning along the way.

    Best wishes!
