# Meal Plans
Create meal plans that suit your member’s needs.
Create them from scratch, generate and customize an existing meal plan, edit/duplicate a shared meal plan, and swap meals.
The purpose of creating a meal plan is to use it as a template for assigning it to a member. For more information on how to create a meal plan template, refer to [this documentation](https://docs.suggestic.com/coaching-portal/accessing-the-coaching-portal/navigating-the-coaching-portal/coach-dashboard/meal-plan).
## Coach meal plan management
A coach is able to execute the following actions:
* View a user’s existing meal plan
* View a recipe’s detailed information
* Swap a meal from the existing meal plan with an alternative recommended recipe or by using the text search.
* Determine how many servings of the recipe will be added
* Save the plan with a name and a description and define if it will be public or private
* Start a meal plan with an empty or a pre-filled plan.
* Edit, duplicate, and remove a saved meal plan.
* See his/her saved meal plans as well as public meal plans from the same organization.
