Yuki Guide
Meal plan
The week’s meals for you or the whole family — and one grocery list for all of it.
By YukiPublished Updated
Meal plan lays out the week — breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks — so “what’s for dinner?” has an answer before anyone asks. Plan just for you, or choose a group and plan together: everyone in it sees the same week and can change it.
Where to find it
- On the web — the Meal plan card in All features on Home.
- On your phone — Home’s + → Meal plan, or Profile → Meal planner.
- In a group — Meals → Meal plan opens that group’s week.
Plan a meal
- 1Tap + next to a day’s Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Snack. Your favourites for that slot appear first — tap one to reuse it.
- 2Name the meal and choose Cook, Leftovers or Eating out.
- 3For a cooked meal, add ingredients one per line (“500 g paneer”), or Link a recipe (Pro). Set the servings; a linked recipe is scaled to them.
- 4In a group, choose Who’s cooking. Save.
Plan the week in minutes
- Copy last week — repeats last week’s meals on the same days. Pressing it twice never doubles a meal.
- Fill empty meals — tell Yuki what you feel like this week, such as “quick vegetarian dinners”, and pick which meals to fill. Yuki may ask a few short questions first, then suggests one meal for each empty slot from today. Keep the ones you want and only those are added. On Pro a suggestion can come with a Yuki recipe; on Free it stays plain text. You can ask up to 20 times a day.
- Use my favourites for dinners instead — in the same window, fills this week’s empty dinners with the meals you plan most often, never the same one twice in a week, from your own plan only.
- Move a meal — on the web, drag it to another day or slot; on the phone, edit it and pick a new day.
Groceries for the week
- 1Tap Groceries and choose From today or Whole week.
- 2Review one list: linked recipes are scaled to each meal’s servings, the same item from several meals is added up when the units match, and spoonfuls are kept as one item with the amounts in its note. Pantry staples and garnish start unticked.
- 3Untick what you already have, then Add to a new list — or, in a group, to a shared list.
Leftovers and eating out. They are on the plan so the week reads right, but they never add groceries.

Who sees what. Your personal plan is only yours. A group’s plan is visible to that group’s current members. A meal someone linked to a recipe stays viewable and editable for everyone in the group, whatever their plan.
