I think each of our recaps would look differently. I'm not sending this via email because I don't want to inundate your email with my food log. Ha! :) I'm writing out the Day 1 Recap as an example. I do not to intend to share my food log on daily basis or my weekly meal plans. I am always happy to help teach how to create one though! :) And eventually, I'd like to have a recipe tab on the blog for us to use. Here is a recap from today:

Meal Planning***
This is how I personally Plan out my meals to create a grocery list. I use the old fashioned paper and pen method. I cannot figure out how to add a table to the blog so here goes a lot of written details.
I create 8 columns and 4 rows (or 4 columns and 8 rows either way).
Skipping the first column on row 1, I write out the days of the week across the top in row one columns 2-8 (starting with grocery day).
Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday....
On the first column second row, I label it after the meal. Since this is new, I also add Protein, Fat, Veggie, Fruit so I make sure I'm getting everything I need.
Meal 1
Protein:
Fat:
Veggie:
Fruit:
Meal 2

Meal 3

It looks something like this:
