Meal plans are templates in your library that you copy to clients. Find them under Plans on the icon rail.

Build a plan

  1. Select Create plan, give it a Plan name and select Create plan again.
  2. Switch between Day view and Calendar view to see one day or the Full week.
  3. Select Add meal for a meal slot (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, pre-workout or post-workout), or Add from favourites to reuse a meal you have saved.
  4. Name the meal and add ingredients with Search ingredients to add… or + Add manually. If a meal has no ingredients yet, its values are estimated from the meal name.
  5. Use Repeats on to put the same meal on several days.
  6. Select Publish plan when it is ready.

You can also ask Cal to draft a plan from the Plans section, for example around a client's goals and preferences.

Plans created by other coaches in your organisation open as read-only.

Assign and schedule

  1. In the plan header, select Manage assigned clients.
  2. On the Assign tab, pick clients and choose a Schedule:
    • This week or Next week puts the plan in their diary. Any plan they already have active moves to draft.
    • Schedule later gives them a copy they cannot see until you schedule it.
  3. The Assigned tab shows each client's copy as Active, Draft or Unscheduled, with options to schedule, Unschedule or Unassign it.

Each client gets their own copy. Editing the template does not change copies already assigned.

Once a plan is scheduled, the client sees its meals in their diary, where they can log or skip each one.

From a client's page

Open the client's Profile tab and select Meal Plans to see their plans marked Current, Scheduled or Draft. From a plan's menu you can Schedule for this week, Schedule for next week, Unschedule or Remove.

Deleting a template from your library leaves clients' copies in place.
