Morphology
The meaning 'an arrangement for providing meals' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'meal' (an eating event) with 'plan' (an organized arrangement). As a straightforward noun–noun compound describing a plan about meals — a cross-linguistically common concept — a B1 learner who knows both words can infer this meaning in typical contexts.
Etymology
The noun meal plan comes from places like hotels, schools, and camps where people make a plan of daily meals and pay for them together with the room. So, the phrase means an 'arrangement' where certain meals are 'included' during your stay.
