I have developed a new function today that can help people who have this type of problem. Depends how the startdate is sent, but assuming you are using Y-m-d you can use DateTime

getTimestamp();
    // loop for X days
    for( $i = 0; $i < ( $orderDays - 1 ); $i++ ) {
        // get what day it is next day
        $nextDay = date('w', strtotime('+1day', $date_timestamp) );
        // if it's Sunday or Saturday get $i-1
        if( $nextDay == 0 || ( $nextDay == 6 && $saturday_off ) ) { $i--; }
        // modify timestamp, add 1 day
        $date_timestamp = strtotime('+1day', $date_timestamp);
    }

    $formatted_date->setTimestamp($date_timestamp);

    return $formatted_date->format( 'Y-m-d' );
}

$orderEndDate = getOrderEndDate( '2020-06-17', 'meal_monthly_6' ); ?>
