Weekly Meal Planner - Notion template

Tired of deciding what to cook every night, then forgetting half the ingredients at the store? The Weekly Meal Planner is a Notion template that connects your weekly menu, recipes, ingredients and shopping list, so the planning and the math happen for you.

Pick a recipe for each meal, and the template works out the calories, the cost, the ingredients you need and how much you still have to buy.

What is included

• 6 connected databases: Weekly Plans, Weekdays, Recipes, Recipe Ingredients, Ingredients and Shopping Summary
• A step by step Getting Started guide with a relationship map, workflow and tips

Key features

Smart shopping list

Link an ingredient and the template shows the quantity needed for your planned meals, what is in your pantry, how much to buy and the estimated cost.

Calorie and nutrition tracking

Each recipe stores calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving. Each day totals its calories and tells you whether you are under, on or over your target.

Budget tracking

Set a weekly budget, then compare it against estimated or actual grocery spend. A budget check label shows whether you are within budget, close to it or over.

Week Summary

Covering meals planned, cooking progress, average calories, grocery spend and shopping progress. No need to scroll through various properties.

Recipe cost calculator

Recipe cost and cost per serving are calculated from ingredient prices and quantities. Change a price once and every recipe updates.

Pantry awareness

Enter what you already have at home, and the template only asks you to buy the difference.

How it works

1. Create a week and set your grocery budget and daily calorie target.
2. Add Monday to Sunday and choose breakfast, lunch and dinner from your recipes.
3. Check the Ingredients database to see what you need this week and what is already in your pantry.
4. Use the Shopping List to track items from To Buy to In Cart to Purchased.
5. Mark each day Done after cooking. Finished days drop off your grocery needs automatically.

Who it is for

• Busy families planning dinners for the week
• Anyone meal prepping on a budget
• People tracking calories without a separate app
• Students and couples sharing groceries
• Notion users who like organized, connected systems
