How to use it

“Plan a week from this collection” puts these dishes on breakfasts; Racion fills in lunches and dinners and gathers everything into one shopping list. The quiz has a separate question about breakfasts: they can be dropped from the plan entirely if nobody eats in the morning.

The ready weeks below are seven breakfasts in a row, so porridge does not come two days running and cottage cheese alternates with eggs. “Per person” here means the whole week of breakfasts; porridges and overnight oats come out cheapest, bowls with granola and berries priciest.
