Options for changing the date of the meal plan
If you move a meal plan's start to another weekday, choose Keep each menu on its weekday or Start with the first menu to decide how the menus are ordered.
Updated October 15, 2026
While you build a plan, you can change its dates with the pencil next to them, below the plan’s name. The Meal plan dates window opens, where you choose the Start and the Length; Almendra works out when it Ends.
Depending on the new start date, one of two things happens:
Option 1: the plan starts on the same weekday.
For example, you move the plan from Monday 02/15 to Monday 02/22. Since it still starts on a Monday, each menu stays on its day and there’s nothing else to choose.
Option 2: the plan starts on a different weekday.
For example, you move the plan from Monday 02/22 to Wednesday 02/24. Almendra asks: “The plan now starts on a Wednesday. How should the menus be ordered?”. The window shows a preview with example foods so you can see how each option will look:
- Keep each menu on its weekday: Monday’s menu is still Monday’s, Tuesday’s stays on Tuesday, and so on. The plan starts with Wednesday’s menu.
- Start with the first menu: the first menu (the one that used to be Monday’s) moves to Wednesday and the rest follow in order; Tuesday’s moves to Thursday, and so on.
Pick an option and click Confirm.
This question only appears in Daily menu and Free text plans. In Flexible options and Exchanges plans, menus aren’t tied to weekdays, so only the dates change.
