Meal planning

Knowing where to start when it comes to meal planning can be hard. Here are a variety of topics to aid you in your meal planning journey from novice to meal planning master.

Where to start...

Pick your meal planning day of the week

Think about a day during your week where you can allocate at least 1 hour to plan out your schedule for the week including which meals you want to prep.

Pick your shopping day of the week

Think of a day that you can allocate at least 1-2 hours to go shop and prep your meals for the week.

Start by prepping just 1-2 meals per week

This is helpful to see and plan for days that it might not be realistic to plan on making a meal (i.e. a work lunch) so you don't overshoot your goal and end up with extra meals you aren't going to eat.

Put together a weekly calendar

Too often I see people overdo it when it comes to meal planning. This leaves them frustrated because they end up wasting time, money and food. Start small. Focus on making just 1-2 meals.
