    There are apps that do that kind of thing. This is one example:

    https://www.eatthismuch.com/

    I'm sure there are others, too. I don't work for them, don't get compensated for linking that, don't even use the site myself (because I'm pretty much a cranky li'l ol' lady aging hippie hedonist - age 69 myself - who doesn't want anyone else telling me what to eat 😆). That's not a criticism: I know some other people like and benefit from structured meal plans. It's just not my jam.

    The one I linked has a limited function version you can experiment with without even needing to create an account, but will give you more fine-tuning ability if you sign up for a free account. I played with the "no sign up" version a little bit, just out of curiosity, which is how I know about it.

    MFP itself now has some kind of new meal planning, shopping kind of thing for extra cost now, too, but I'm not sure it's available everywhere to everyone yet.

    For myself, I went in almost exactly the opposite direction: I just started logging my food, and worked at gradually remodeling my eating over a period of time eating foods I enjoy, in order to hit my calorie goal, feel mostly full and happy the majority of the time, and get overall good nutrition . . . more or less in that order. That kind of process is described here, if you want to consider that kind of approach:

    I was 59-60 when I lost weight using MFP - around 50 pounds/23 kilos. I've been maintaining a healthy weight since, for 9+ years. Nowadays, I'm just hanging around here to keep my head in the game, stay in a good weight/fitness situation, and maybe help others who are getting started if I'm able to do that.

    For me, the effort to lose the weight has been more than rewarded by the quality of life improvement from being physically lighter, plus having all my health markers improve to solidly normal, healthy levels. I want everyone to achieve that, so I'm cheering for you and your husband to succeed!
