How do I make a meal plan day a day off?

A day off has no meals assigned. You can still leave the patient indications for it in the Summary step.

* Note: Days off exist in the Daily menu and Free text formats. A Flexible options plan has no days off.

You can make a day a day off at two points:

1. While you set the plan’s targets:

The idea is simple: don’t give targets to the day you want off. For example, if you want Saturday and Sunday off, choose Customize by day and apply targets only from Monday to Friday. The Status by day panel shows how many days are still without targets.

When you click Next, Almendra will ask whether you want to make those days days off. Click Select days as days off and you’ll move on to the Plan step.

If a day already had targets and you now want it off, click the circular arrow next to that day in Status by day to clear its targets.

2. When you’re already building the menu:

• In the table editor: click the three dots next to the day’s name and then Set as day off. Confirm with Yes, set as day off. That day’s column will show a Day off label.
• In the day-by-day editor: click Previous to go back to the targets, clear that day’s targets, and click Next again. You can also switch to the table view from the gear (Plan settings).

In the day-by-day editor, days off have a gift icon on their tab.

To turn a day off back into a regular day, give it targets in the Targets step. In the table editor you can also use Unset day off in the day’s menu: Almendra will take you to the targets step so you can set them.
