Building meal plans for your clients

Use the Meal Plan Builder to create personalized weekly meal plans for your clients, complete with calorie tracking, macronutrient breakdowns, recipes, and grocery lists in one place.

Create a custom meal plan

Open the Meal Plan Builder, then:

Choose meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for each day of the week.
Track running daily and weekly calorie totals to align the plan with your client's goal, such as weight loss, maintenance, or weight gain.

Mix and match recipes to build a balanced, goal-oriented plan.

View nutrition and genetic insights

Each recipe shows:

Calories per serving
Macronutrient breakdown: carbs, fats, and protein
Genetic-based nutrition highlights, such as "This meal is a source of folate" or "This meal is a source of zinc"

To view recipe details, click the blue "i" icon next to the meal. This opens a full view with ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and nutrient and genetic benefit tags.

Generate a grocery list

Once your weekly plan is set, open the Grocery List section to see every ingredient your client needs for the week.

Copy the list for your client by selecting the blue double-page icon.
Quantities are calculated automatically based on the selected meals.

View and prepare recipes

To open a recipe directly from a plan:

Go to the Meal Plan Builder.
Click the day you are viewing.
Select Recipe & Details next to the meal you want to prepare.

This opens the full recipe view with nutritional insights and preparation instructions.

Can I print the weekly meal plan?

The Meal Plan Builder does not have a built-in print option for full weekly meal plans. Instead, you can:

Copy the grocery list to share with your client.
Open and print each recipe page individually from your browser (File → Print).

Tip: Have clients log in to their own SelfDecode account to view their personalized meal plan and see how each meal supports their genetic nutrient needs.
