in Getting Started
I see we can calculate our daily foods and activities.. is there a way to be proactive and make meal plans in this program?

    Yes, you can make recipes too. You can even log ahead, then make changes if you make any changes

    so you just create the meals a day ahead and then if you dont follow you update it?

    My "meal plan" consists of two days of food that I use during the week - one for training days, another for non training days. I pre log, and only change it when I want different food.

    I pre log my weekends in the morning when we've decided what we'll be doing for dinner

    I don't make recipes very often, I just copy food from one day to another.

    I will sometimes make 30 or so meals ahead of time and freeze them to keep myself from being tempted. First I save the recipes in mfp (which are components of the meals), then I put meals together (as in literally, and I enter the ingredients for the meal into mfp).
    When I grab one out of my freezer, I go to the meals tab and log the one I'm about to have. To me it's the best of both worlds because it's pre-made and ready to log but I still can decide whether I want the taco bowl/curry/stir-fry etc based on what sounds appetizing.
    Sometimes I log them ahead of time but not often.
