To understand what a free-text meal plan is, we invite you to read the following article: **What is a Free-Text Meal Plan?**Adding recipes to a free-text meal plan is not done automatically as it is in a plan with a food search feature. Let’s look at the following image:

See the third line where “Caesar Salad” is written.Note: You can write “1 serving of Caesar Salad” or “Caesar Salad with little lettuce” if you prefer. It’s flexible; just remember to write one food item per line.Click “Place” (point 2) and select the meals where you want to add what you wrote in the field from point 1. Once you’re done, click “Finish” (the button will be in the same place as the “Place” button).Click the button from point 3 and the following window will open:
