Using Meal Planner in family life
Once the plan is ready, you still need to collect ingredients and quantities from several recipes.
Open Generate Shopping List in Meal Planner. Choose Today, Next 3 days or Whole week, then tap Add to shopping. Android adds the ingredients directly to the existing main shopping list. Open Shopping afterwards to compare them with your supplies and existing items.
How the steps fit together

Choose the period

Add the ingredients once
