# Meal Planner (deprecated)

This query will soon be deprecated you should probably use [Meal Plan](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/query/queries/meal-plan-1) instead
{% endhint %}

The **mealPlannerByDay** query returns a meal plan that consists of 28 [recipes ](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/objects/recipe)composed of 4 meals per day for a 7-day period.

The query results are organized by day number (**day1, day2, etc)** with each day containing 4 [recipes](https://docs.suggestic.com/graphql/objects/recipe) for each of the following meals: **breakfast**, **snack**, **lunch** and **dinner.**
