    It's very nice! Just one thing I would want is a servings feature. I'm a college student so I usually want to cook in bulk for the week, but when planning for the week I don't want to make it seem like I'm cooking the same meal multiple times. Therefore it would be nice if there were a servings count that would carry over so that it doesn't think I'm recooking the same meal. Not a huge problem though as I can just leave the next few days empty for dinner:)

    I really like the tags function! It'd be great if you could add multiple tags - for example, "Dinner" and "Vegetarian" to make the meal planner search even more specific. Great template though, and the video was super helpful. :)

      Great idea! I'll do a second version of this at some point.. for now you could create your own tag called "Veggie/Dinner". It's not ideal but would work!

    looks great tbh, is there anything I really shouldn't be editing in there? I was trying to change it to a different language and it showed me a message saying "You’re trying to edit part of this sheet that shouldn’t be changed accidentally." I can make do perfectly in english since you made it so nice that I can change meals, ingredients, tags, etc to any language, it's just a few things so it's no biggie but just wanted to know anyway.

    Is there a way to add more meals?! need 5-6 / day, also with the ability to add/track macros?!

    • @ideallysheets
      @ideallysheets  6 місяців тому +1

      No macros, something I'm considering to add. I'll add more meals in the next version. For now, if you look in the code for 'A5:G7' those are the ranges for the meals. If you increase the range, you'll be able to add more. So A5:G9 would be 5/day. Make sure to change in both places and also increase the range for the dropdowns.
