To create a meal plan template click Start > New Meal Plan:
Select a pre-existing meal plan or start from scratch. Selecting ‘New Meal Plan’ will open a blank meal plan template.
This is a master meal plan and is not attached to any clients. The meal plan can be attached to clients by clicking on the drop down menu at the top of the workspace:
Changes to the master meal plan will be applied to any client copies of the meal plan. Changes to individual client copies of the meal plan will only apply to that client.
Build your meal plan (see here for a guide on this). Once you are happy with your meal plan template, add it to a group for easy retrieval later.
To do this, click on the ‘meal plan’ folder in the Nutritics Content Explorer.
By default, all newly created meal plans are added to ‘Ungrouped Mealplans’.
Click on ‘Ungrouped Mealplans’ and drag and drop the newly created meal plan into an existing group or create a new group:
Click on a meal plan group to see all meal plans within that group.
