Meal planning

Scheduled and Flexible meal planning

Put meals on particular days, or keep a list for the week and decide what to cook as you go.

Choose the style that suits your week

With Scheduled planning, each meal goes on a day. You might plan a quick dinner for Tuesday and leave a longer recipe for the weekend.

With Flexible planning, you choose meals for the week without giving them a day. When dinner comes around, pick whatever you feel like cooking.

Both styles build a grocery list from the meals you’ve chosen.

Change your planning style

  1. Open Settings, then Household preferences.

  2. Choose Scheduled or Flexible as your planning style.

  3. Return to Plan to see the layout for that style.

Planning with other people

Your planning style applies to the whole household. If you share Good Fork with someone, you’ll both see the same plan and use the same style.

How far ahead can I plan?

Free lets you plan one week at a time. With Good Fork Pro, you can plan up to four weeks ahead. You can start with a few meals; you don’t need to fill every day before you shop or cook.
