Meal planning tips:

  • Plan your meals every single week. Schedule a specific time (allow 30-45 minutes) on your calendar.

  • For simplicity (if you don’t mind repeats), choose 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 snacks and rotate throughout the week. You can do the same for dinners as well.

  • Create an organized shopping list.

  • When planning your meals for the week, be sure to look at portion sizes. Some recipes make 4 servings, and some two.

  • Save your meal plans and rotate them from time to time. No use in recreating the wheel every week!

  • Meal prep your lunches the night before. Pop into individual serving containers and bring to work for a quick and healthy meal.

  • Use healthy convenience foods when possible, like pre-bagged salad, pre-washed and chopped fruits and veggies, pre-cooked grains like quinoa and brown rice, etc.

  • For a quick meal when you don’t have the time or desire to cook, consider Shakeology, a nutrient-dense meal replacement shake.

Resources:

  • I use either my printable Meal Planning System or the to plan my meals. Both have printable weekly meal planning pages and shopping lists already organized for you.
