Tips for Weekly Meal Planning
April 20, 2020Tips for Weekly Meal Planning
While it is true that eating delicious food takes very little effort, preparing it generally requires a bit more thought. The good news? The more often you do it, the easier it becomes! If you’re just starting out, meal prepping can seem like quite a chore, but these tips for weekly meal planning can simplify the process significantly.
Keep Your Diet Healthy, Simple, and Exciting
All too often, diet plans fail due to boredom, hectic schedules, or a combination of both. In turn, this usually leads to falling off the “healthy-eating wagon.” Instead of reaching for a nutrient-dense snack or meal, you end up going for something fast and (usually) unhealthy. This is one of the main reasons that it’s worth it to take the time to plan and prepare nutritious recipes for the week. After all, can you put a value on a couple of hours if it will improve your health?
What is Meal Planning?
Meal planning is the process that you go through to prepare a meal, all the way from start to finish. It includes selecting a recipe, buying the ingredients, making the meal, and even dividing it into proper portion sizes.
Everyone will have a different process for meal prepping, so you’ll need to find what works best for you. Along with developing your own process, it’s up to you to decide how many meals you want to make in advance. Your primary goal should be to find a process that is time-efficient, enjoyable, and—most importantly—allows you to provide nutritious meals for yourself and your loved ones.
