 - It's now possible to products directly (also in the dropdown of the add button in the header of each day column, maybe useful in combination with the new "Self produced products" feature)
 - Added that the calories per serving are now also shown
 - Added that the total costs and calories per day are displayed in the header of each day column
+- Added new `config.php` setting `MEAL_PLAN_FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK` which can be used to start the meal plan on a different day (defaults to `CALENDAR_FIRST_DAY_OF_WEEK`, so no changed behavior when not configured)
 - Fixed that when `FEATURE_FLAG_STOCK_PRICE_TRACKING` was set to `false`, prices were still shown (thanks @kriddles)
 - Fixed that the week costs were missing for the weeks 1 - 9 of a year
