When one person eats before practice and another comes home after 8, a single dinner time does not fit the household.

Use the calendar to choose the nights you want covered. The counter estimates packages to shop for, while your family decides what and how much each person will eat.

Enter how many prepared meal packages your household expects to use on each dinner you want covered. The counter totals packages across those nights and flags when people eat at different times. It does not assign a portion to anyone.
Mark the practices, late shifts and school events first. Two busy dinners may be a better first order than trying to replace every meal in the week.
For a split dinner, choose meals that can be stored and reheated as their labels direct. Set aside the later person's choice before the first sitting starts.
Suppose your household expects to use three prepared meal packages on each of two hectic evenings. The shopping estimate is six packages. It is up to the household whether people choose their own items, share an item, or add food already at home. Check what each package contains before paying.
A package or labeled serving is not a prescribed amount for a child or an adult. The FDA explains that serving size on a Nutrition Facts label reflects customary consumption, not a recommendation. This counter cannot determine whether a meal fits a child's age, appetite, allergies or care plan.

Look at this week's menu together. Compare the ingredients, item size and price, then confirm availability and fulfillment at checkout. This planner does not establish that a particular item has an age-specific portion. If its serving details or allergen information are unclear, ask before ordering.
Infant and toddler feeding needs change with age. This adult-meal package counter is not an infant feeding tool; use your child's clinician for individual questions and the CDC's age-specific guidance as a starting point.

The counter only totals the dinners you ask it to cover. Cook with your family on the nights that work and use prepared meals when the calendar is crowded.
Before placing an order, check the delivery or pickup option for your address and make room to store the meals according to their labels.

SmashMeals cooks in a dedicated gluten-free kitchen. That does not make every item suitable for every allergy or child. Check ingredients and allergen information for each choice and ask about anything unclear before ordering.

Count the packages you expect to use on the specific dinners you want covered. Three packages on each of two nights means six packages to compare. Check the serving details and the rest of your household's food before deciding what to buy.
Count each covered dinner once, choose the items each person expects to eat, and set aside meals for later eaters. Follow each item's storage and reheating directions.
The counter does not assign age-specific portions. Review each item's size, ingredients and allergens against your child's needs; this is a shopping estimate, not a feeding recommendation.
A recurring subscription is not required. Check the current menu and checkout for any order minimum, pickup, delivery or shipping conditions that apply to your order.
