    There aren't meal plans in MFP.

    Macros are just general guidelines. Don't stress 'em too much unless you are on a serious exercise regimen.

    The main MFP notion is that if Calories In is greater than Calories Out you will lose weight. Macros just help you tune it a little bit more.

    I've found http://www.bodybuilding.com to have good ideas for meal planning (and workouts). I've used both Lee Labrada and Jamie Eason's programs.
