Weekly plan and eat-first list

This week's meals, day by day, with who is eating, the time each day allows, what each meal uses up, and the planned-leftover and backup meals, plus the list of food that has to be eaten first. Seeded from your setup; everything you type stays in this browser.

For a first pass, the plan is essential: the week's dinners, one planned-leftover meal and one backup (The weekly plan). The eat-first list is essential too when anything in the kitchen has to be eaten within the week; otherwise it can be a line in the plan.

The plan

Fill it in the order The weekly plan sets: the schedule first, then the eat-first items, then meals from your list. A day can say "out", "leftovers" or "backup".

Eat first

Food already in the kitchen that has to be eaten soon, with the meal it is planned for (The weekly plan).

How to use these sheets

• Fill it in order. The schedule first (who is home, how much time), then the eat-first items, then meals from the meal list, shortest-keeping foods early in the week (The weekly plan).
• Days can say "out". A night out, a planned-leftover night, an eat-down night and the backup meal are all rows. Plan only the meals eaten at home before the next shop.
• The plan is a draft. Swap days as the week changes. When a food reaches the end of its keep time, the plan changes, not the food's date.
