Meal Planner: Weekly Meal Plan Template to Print
Plan the week's breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dinners on a weekly meal planner you can change: rename the rows, add notes and your family name, then print a PDF for the fridge or save a picture to your phone.
The meal planner is loading.
How it works
Start from the weekly meal planner
Seven days down the top, breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner down the side, already filled with ideas you can type over. Add or rename rows under Periods: a second snack, or "Kids' dinner".
Type your meals
Click a box and type the meal, with a note underneath (who is cooking, leftovers, prep the night before). Tick "every day" for the same breakfast all week. Each dish keeps its own colour.
Print it or keep it on your phone
A PDF for the fridge at A4 or US Letter, a PNG or JPG for your phone, or every format in one ZIP. Add a page for next week; each keeps its own meals.
A weekly meal planner you can make your own
This meal planner opens on a weekly meal planner already filled with ideas: seven days across, breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner down the side. Type over any meal, add a note underneath, and each dish keeps its own colour across the week.
Use it as a meal plan template for the whole family or just for you: rename the rows, add a second snack or a row for the kids, put your family name and a photo in the heading, and download a printable meal planner PDF or a picture for your phone.
How to plan a week of meals
Plan dinners first, since they take the most time and shopping, then turn tonight's leftovers into tomorrow's lunch. Keep weekday breakfasts the same so mornings are quick. Under each meal, note what to buy or prepare the night before, and you have the shopping list as well as the weekly meal plan template.
A family meal planner
For a family meal planner, add a row per person or a "Kids" row, note who cooks each night, and print one page per week. Four pages make a month you can shop for in one go.

Questions
Can I save my meal plan and come back to it?
Yes. It is kept in this browser as you work, so you can close the tab and carry on later on the same device.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The planner fits the screen; tap a meal to change it and download a picture straight to your phone.
How do I make a weekly meal plan?
Start with the seven-day template, then fill dinners first (they take the most planning), then lunches, using leftovers from dinner. Keep breakfasts simple and the same on weekdays. Write the shopping you need under each meal as a note.
Is there a printable meal planner?
Yes. Download the PDF at A4 or US Letter, portrait or landscape; it prints at the real size without scaling.
Can I plan meals for a family?
Yes. Add a row per person or for the kids, note who cooks each night under the meal, and put the family name in the heading.
Can I change breakfast, lunch and dinner to other meals?
Yes. Under Periods, rename any row (Brunch, Pre-workout, Supper), add rows or remove them; the meals below move with them.
