Change portion and household size

Two settings control how much food your plan makes: portion size and household size. Both live in Settings, under Planning.

Portion size

Portion size sets how much food each meal makes per person, from smaller portions through to larger ones. Pick the one that matches your appetite. It adjusts the amount of food and the nutrition figures you see on each meal.

Household size

Household size is how many people you are cooking for. Bolus uses it to scale the shopping so you buy the right amount for everyone at the table.

Changes apply to new weeks

This is the important part. Changing portion or household size affects weeks created after the change, not the one you are in the middle of. A plan you have already shopped for stays exactly as it was, so your list never shifts under you after a trip to the shops.

If you want the new amounts to take effect, they will be there in your next week. If you need them sooner, you can create your next week through the weekly review.
