Meal Plans
Keep track of your meals! Meal plans run weekly, Sunday to Saturday. Our number one suggestion is to keep track of how many meals you have used, daily/weekly, to ensure you have enough swipes to get through the week. And remember, if you don’t use all of your allotted meal swipes during the week, they will not roll over.
