14 meals for one person, with only seven cooking sessions: you cook at night, you eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. And nothing ends up forgotten at the back of the fridge.
Lunch and dinner for seven days. The longer recipes land in the evenings and on weekends, and lunches stay short.

Fit this menu to my weekfree, no account, about two minutesAlready grouped by aisle, so you get through the store without doubling back.
With Popotam, you check this list off as you go and see the budget you have left.
Create my grocery listEvery dinner is planned as two servings. The next day's lunch is already made, you just reheat it.
250 g of pasta, one can of chickpeas, one zucchini: the quantities are planned for one person, not eyeballed down from a recipe for four.
The goat cheese goes from the gnocchi skillet to the pizza, the carrots from the bowl to the soup. Nothing is bought for just one meal.
If you've got a spare serving of chili or curry, it goes in the freezer: that's for the night you won't feel like cooking.
A pot for two meals takes the same time as a pot for one. It's the only habit you need when you cook for yourself.
Hard-boiled, omelet, tortilla, poached: the cheapest protein, the fastest, and the only one that doesn't go bad in three days.
A serving spread flat in a freezer bag thaws in twenty minutes. In a container, you have to remember the night before.
Pick your tastes, your constraints and your budget. Popotam builds your meal plan and your grocery list, either generating it itself or with your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account.
All our menus follow the same format: 14 meals, a grocery list, an estimated budget.
The most requested format, 14 meals sized just right.
Everything in 25 minutes max.
A week for four at the lowest price.
No meat or fish, and filling.
Every ingredient used up within the week.
Five ingredients, zero technique.
The problem isn't the quantity, it's the packaging: the bunch of parsley, the 500 g pack, the tray of meat. The fix comes down to two rules: favor what keeps (eggs, legumes, root vegetables) and plan two different dishes that share the same fresh ingredient during the week. This menu is built exactly like that.
First pick a format (number of people, budget, time you have), then lay out 14 meals, lunch and dinner over 7 days, reusing the same ingredients from one dish to the next. Finish with the grocery list grouped by aisle: that's what makes sure the week holds up.
Every menu on this site comes with one, already sorted by aisle. With Popotam, you can also generate your own from your own meals: you check it off as you go and it shows the budget you have left.
Yes, and with no subscription. Two ways to generate, your pick: Popotam handles it itself, which costs it less than a cent, or you use your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account, which costs it nothing. No ads, no selling your data, no commission on your groceries.
Nope. No sign-up, no email, no ads. Your meal plan lives online, behind a secret link only you know.
