Chronic Illness Spoonie Menu Planner
Spoonie Menu Planner: meal planning for the energy you actually have
Most meal planners assume you have the same energy every day. This one doesn't.
The Spoonie Menu Planner is a printable meal-planning system for people living with chronic illness, chronic fatigue, or any condition where energy is limited and unpredictable. Every page is built around three spoon levels (high, medium and low), so you do the hard work on good days and still eat well on bad ones.
How it works
- High spoon days: plan, shop, chop and prep.
- Medium spoon days: bulk cook, assemble make-ahead meals and stock the freezer.
- Low spoon and flare days: serve what's already made, choose no-cook options and rest. You planned for this.
