About My Family Meal Planner Light
My Family Meal Planner Light
In the My Family Meal Planner Light app you will find:
• 4 meals planned per week for 52 weeks, all the recipes you need, and all the weekly grocery lists.
• An interactive grocery list that you can cross off items and add your own items.
• All meals are under 500 calories.
• Every recipe and meal includes nutritional analysis.
• You will have one crock pot meal every week. There is a picture of a crock pot next to the menu/recipes that are crock pot meals.
• All recipes or menu items that have a heart by them meet the American Heart Association requirements for a heart healthy recipe/meal.
• All recipes or menu items that have a star by them are diabetic friendly. They have less than 60 grams of carbohydrates per serving or less than 4 Carb Choices. 1 Carb Choice = 15 grams of Carbohydrates. Recommended amount for most diabetics is 3 to 4 carb choices per meal. (If you are a diabetic, make sure you follow your individual plan made for you by your doctor or dietitian.) **If carbohydrates are close to 60 grams, omit the fruit in order to have your glass of milk with your meal and to stay within your 3 to 4 carb choices per meal.
• If you are using a weight loss system that uses points, you will see at the bottom of the nutritional analysis your points already figured! This meal planner is not intended to be a weight loss plan. (This meal planner is in no way affiliated with Weight Watchers International and it has not been reviewed by Weight Watchers for accuracy and suitability for Weight Watcher members.)
• When I wrote this meal planner in 2008 I was a childcare provider. I was required to follow the USDA requirements when feeding the children in my care. I felt it was important to include these requirements in this meal planner. You and your family will receive 1 meat, 1 bread, either 2 fruits or 2 vegetables or a fruit and a vegetable at every meal. You will receive Vitamin C daily and Vitamin A at least twice a week. They also suggest that you drink a glass of milk with your meal.
You will save money in the end because you are going to the store with a list. You won’t be buying unnecessary items. Many of my customers have reported saving $75-$100 a month. Plus they are saving time because they don’t have to figure out their menu. I have already done it for you!
A few things to remember before heading to the store:
• Items on the menu that include a recipe you will need to refer to that recipe for the serving size. All other sides are ½ cup servings except side salads are 1 cup servings.
• If you would like to have margarine on your bread and/or salad dressing on your salad, you will need to add that to your grocery list and be sure to add the calories to your meal. Use these two items sparingly. They are usually full of calories and fat.
• I used canned fruits for the nutritional analysis so that it would be convenient for you, but you can purchase fresh fruit instead.
• For the nutritional analysis I used ground beef 90% lean meat/10% fat. For milk I used 1%. I also used instant mashed potatoes for figuring purposes.
For many of the items you can find lower calorie options. Feel free to purchase those items. The nutritional analysis figures for this meal planner were figured based on the USDA ingredient database. Nutritional values will vary from brand to brand.
I hope you enjoy your My Family Meal Planner Light Mobile App!

I looove this app. It's a weekly meal plan for 4 days of the week (gives me room for my own creations, eating out, or leftovers). The recipes are varied and easy to make. The weekly grocery list is neatly organized in categories and I can add my own items, but attention app creators: PLEASE! Add a sharing shopping list option ASAP, and perhaps... pictures of the meals? So far I have enjoyed using this app, and trying new recipes with success. Thanks!

We were stuck in a rut with our meal planning, this is a great app. The groceries are affordable and obtainable. The meals are good, nutritious and easy to make. I love the nutrition facts, the heart healthy and diabetic friendly icons. Some of the recipes repeat after a few months, but they keep your rating. My attempt at meal planning the meals repeat monthly so a periodic repeat here is not a problem. I would like the option to remove the recipes I don't care for.. but I'm not complaining. I love the app

Cool app, but can only click on first week in each month and the the first four recipes. The other weeks,app stops working every time. Have reinstalled and doesn't fix problem. I paid for this. Not happy. Please fix. Will change stars once it is fixed.

I have a question though... Does it matter which week I start in, or should I choose it as a calendar so that I will use most of the ingredients of the season? Also, please put your kids lunchbox meals out as an app. I'd totally buy it!

I don't understand why there are only 4 meals planned per week..the ones that are there are great though...and i cant seem to cross out items on the grocery list without clicking on the item, exiting the list and then going back in. The concept is amazing...please fix. Galaxy S3 with jellybean.

This would be a great app if you only ate once a day for four days only gives you one meal a day and the weeks are four days long wish it had breakfast lunch and the other three days of the week. Also wish you could change the meal for a day if you don't like that meal or are allergic to something in that meal that is planned. I uninstalled.

I'm a busy single mom who has little time or inclination to think about the weekly meal planning. This has already saved me many hours of planning. The grocery list for the week is fantastic - no more trying to move lists between apps AND you can add any extras you need. So easy. I was worried the weekly groceries would cost more, but it is coming out to just about what I was paying anyway - only this time, I am sure of what I'll be making. There are usually a lot of leftovers so our other days we just re-heat. I would love to see more of your meal plans made into apps too!! Great job!

I use it Monday - Thursday since we go out on Friday night and Sunday night with family. Everything is so easy to follow and yummy. My daughter who is 3 is trying new things. I only wish there was somewhere to put a note on that day for future use.

I have worked very hard to menu plan using cookbooks, menus, grocery lists and to have this all in one. The editable grocery list is awesome!! A++++ can't wait to try the recipes!

So simple, so tasty, so easy to use! I highly recommend this app if you are following weight watchers. The points are all figured out for you. My 2 sons have been using this and preparing dinner for me for weeks now and they love it! I hope they follow up with their other cookbooks!

Now I have an attack plan when I go to the grocery store! The only reason I dropped a star is that on my Android tablet, I can't get the crossing off list items to work. I usually make up a paper list anyways since I shop every 2 weeks so it doesn't affect my use of the app. The meals are simple and my family has loved every one so far. I would love a whole/real foods app like this but haven't found one yet.

I had always wanted to plan my family's meals to save money but had never had the imagination or time to sit down and do it. This app even gives me the shopping list and to my surprise most of the things were already in my pantry. The recipes are quick and easy. I am enjoying every single day of it. No more anguish wondering what to cook every day.

My family of 7 really like the meals. Very simple recipes with "normal" ingredients. I just double the recipes for my bigger family. I use the grocery list every week, makes it all so simple. The only thing I would want is to be able to share & favorite a recipe to go back to our favs easily. Great app!

Love that there is a whole year of meals organized very nicely. Some of the food seems unhealthy though.
