# Meal plans

**Meal plans** turn "what should I eat?" into a plan you can follow — built by you, generated by the app, or assigned by your coach.

## Building a meal plan

1. Open **Meal plans** and create a new plan.
2. Add meals, then add foods to each meal — same search, barcode and favourites tools as the food diary.
3. The plan totals its calories and macros as you build, so you can shape it toward your target.

## Generating a meal plan

Short on time? Use **generate meal plan** and Synrgetic will draft one for you based on your requirements — then edit it to taste. Generated plans are a starting point you refine, not a prescription.

## Following a plan

Foods from your plan can be logged to your diary quickly — following the plan becomes a matter of confirming rather than re-entering everything.

## Plans from your coach

Coaches can build and share meal plans with clients (and clients can view them in the app or via a share link).
