I would say don’t worry about it too much. It’s totally okay to have blank space. I’m moving from an A6 to an A5 and my plan for the daily pages is to basically use them for commonplacing, gratitude, and a “ta da list” (tasks completed instead of a to do list which will be on my weekly pages). The nice thing about sizing up is that it gives you more space to experiment. Try tracking your meals for a week, if it doesn’t work you can try something else. No big deal, it’s your space and you are the boss of it. 😊
The funny thing is I’m an A5 user and I’ve never been able to figure out how to go to a weeks size. You just did it for me- my spreads need to be on 2 pages instead of 1! LOL! I really enjoy having some white space around my planner. It gives so much freedom to just “do whatever”. I feel it’s calming to have some negative space visually. I know it’s a trend to have all the information packed in but it is nice on a daily basis to have some breathing room on the pages. I would try it. You can always go back.
I've seen many people split the A5 page into two columns and use it that way. Like ru on paper uses a take a note planner for journaling and Ellie's corner also bujo's by splitting the page into two columns. Hopefully you figure out how to best get it to work for you.
