Meal Planning

Is there an app that's a basic meal planner? I don't want to record calories or make me write down the recipe, I just want a basic Monday to Friday but I can write in what I'm going to eat as I use MyFitnessPal for the more detailed things. I have a meal planner that I write in every week but I want one that's on my phone that I can edit when I want instead of having to write it all down and then take a picture on my phone to have with me at all times. Something like what I have pictured. Any help appreciated.

    @xWackix - I am not aware of the style in your photo in an app form. But the free Cozi calendar app has a recipe section. When I plan my meals (add them to specific dates)
    they just show up on the calendar with my other appointments- but if you just used for meals I suppose would only show those. Attached a screen shot. Best of luck! I love meal plans!

    I have not found that app.

    Hubs is a fuel eater.

    M-F same fast
    Same lunch
    Same snacks

    For like 15 years

    My dinner, but we have catered to him. So if he gets a little soft on the middle, he can drop an almond and fix it.

    I am not willing to live that way. So I am trying to have 2 breakfast choices. Reliable snacks. A soup that last 4 days. And a different, inspiring dinner every night.

    My breakfasts are yummy. . . 1/3 cup Greek yogurt with a banana and orange or melon and grapes.

    And I like the soups. Eating nuts can be a chore, but there are only 7 of them!

    Being fickle, I plan and shop for 3 days at a time. A lot of people plan and shop for a week.
    My friend is starting to menu plan for a month.

    Just use the calendar in your phone?

    I am old school, i have a pen & pad and we pin it on the fridge. We do a weeks menu at a time.

    I pre log my food the night before using this menu and then tweak weights as I'm cooking.

    Ya, I sometimes write meal ideas on the white board on the frig where I also note foods I need to buy.

    But mostly, when I look at the weekly supermarket flyers I make a mental note of what I plan to make.

    I use Google Sheets and have the app on my phone. I can noodle around with it on my laptop over morning coffee or whatever and then it's always there on my phone in case I need to remember to shop for an ingredient or something.

    Thanks for all your help everyone.
    Google Sheets seems like a good idea - pretty much just make my own planner. 😊
