Meal Planning Made Easy!
Meal Planning Made Easy!
Meal planning is a great way to ensure that you eat healthily, and get this: it doesn’t have to be hard! That’s right, despite how overwhelmed many of us become when we think of planning meals for an entire week, meal planning can save you time and money.
Without being prepared, it is easy to end up eating something on the go, like pastries, fast food, or prepared meals. The problem with this is that often grab-and-go options are not the most healthy, and we end up spending a lot of extra money.
The trick to successful meal planning is to be prepared. Follow these steps to get started:
Pick a Day - choose a day that works best for you where you will have a good couple of hours to plan, prep, and prepare your food.
Prepare - get your food containers ready for each day, and clear out space in the refrigerator for your week of meals.
Create a Plan/Shop - meal planning is about prepping food in bulk to eat throughout the week, so you will want to choose foods with lasting power, so avoid foods that are likely to lose their integrity after a few days.
Get to Work - time to get going!
Now you are prepared, prep should be easy.
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
