→Preparing to Create Menus
Once you have entered your personal information, you are ready to create menus. While the WEIGHT CONTROL & NUTRITION selection list is displayed, press '''2''' to select ''Menus''. The MENUS selection list appears next.

If you press '''1''' for ''Create Menus'', a selection list appears with the names of all participants for this session. (As before, if there is only one participant, the module automatically selects the participant, and a list does not appear.)
Notice that the list includes FAMILY as the final entry. This option lets you choose foods and create menus for the participants ''as a group''. Family menus are based on the average calorie requirements of the participants. Each person is assigned the same foods and the same number of food portions per meal, since the calorie needs are averaged. However, you may also adjust the menus to meet the needs of individual participants (see "Reviewing and Revising Menus").
If you select a single participant rather than the family option, the module lets you choose foods and create menus for that person. The menus are based on the nutritional needs and daily calorie target of the participant. Like family menus, menus for individual participants can also be adjusted.
Press the appropriate number key to indicate for whom you want to create menus. The module then asks:

If you have not yet made food selections for the participant or family, the module assumes that you want to include all of the available foods in the menus (see the food list in ''Appendix B''). If you do not wish to change the food selections, press '''N''', and the module immediately begins to create menus.
To look at the food lists and make food selections, press '''Y'''.
