Hi Heather,

I am also adding step-by-step instructions below for completing and storing your menu 🙂

Additionally, below is an explanation on how to use the Menu Planner:

1) Go to https://www.trimdownclub.com

2) On the top right corner of the homepage click Login

3) Now, enter your username and password (You can also use your email address as your username. If you lost or forgot your password, click Login and then choose “lost password.” Follow the steps on the screen to reset your password)

4) Once you are logged in, click on “Create a Menu”

5) To create a personal menu plan where you have the ability to choose your own foods, simply click on “START MENU PLANNER” (orange button to the right of the page). If you prefer to receive a pre-planned menu, simply click on “READY-TO-GO MENU”.

6) If you chose to create your own menu, you’ll have to add your favorite foods to your menu plan. Switch between the main food categories by clicking on the boxes (Carbs, Proteins, Fats, Sweets, Vegetables, Fruit) above the meal planner. Please note that you will only be able to finalize your choices and click on “SAVE & CREATE MENU” when all meals have enough selections in them (8 Carbs and 8 Proteins for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks; 3 Fats for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Snacks; 2 Sweets for Snacks; 6 Fruits for Snacks; Vegetables are unlimited)

7) Then, once your menu is completed, from within the main Menu Planner Application Area, under “Measurement” select the measurement system you would like to use for your menu plan (Ounces or Grams)

8) Additionally, click on “Grocery List” to create a complete shopping list for all the items in your menu. In the next screen that appears, select the days you want to generate a grocery list for. Add the first day and the last day using the dropdown menu. For example, selecting Monday as a first day and Tuesday as the last day will generate a list for both Monday and Tuesday’s meals. A complete list of all the items you need to buy will appear broken down into categories such as: nuts, fruits, grains etc. for easy reference while you’re shopping. To print your grocery list, click on “Print this grocery list”, located at the top right of the screen

9) To print your weekly menu, click on “Print Menu”. A new window will now open where you can print out your personalized menu and take it with you

To your success!

Hi Heather,

We will look into this deeper. In the meantime, we suggest the following:

1. In order to make changes to specific foods in your menu plan, simply click on “Apps”, followed by “Menu History”. Then, select the menu you would like to edit by clicking on “View”.

2. Once your menu appears, click on the food you would like to replace, and a list will appear with alternative choices that you can choose from.

3. Additionally, to change an entire meal you can click on the white rotating arrows to the right of the meal.

4. If you would like to create a completely new menu, click on the “Apple” logo entitled “My Food Choices” to return to create a new menu by deselecting and selecting foods that you want. If you choose this method don’t forget to click the “Save and Create Menu” button afterwards.

Best 🙂

I have edited my menu as I am new to this site. However, in editing my menu it does not store. I completed the check list of foods I like, and my daily me menue keeps including foods I will not eat. I rarely like meat, but I am not a vegan. I like chicken breast, lean ground burger or turkey burger. No steak or pork etc. I feel overwhelmed trying to complete an edible menu. Does anyone have a suggestion.
