Read on for some meal planning tips. Plan in advance Planning your meals in advance is one of the most e ective things you can do to make sure you eat a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet. Seeing your week’s food together in one place can help you identify anything you might be missing. For example, you may notice you haven’t included your two portions of oily sh and can re-design your meals to incorporate them. A shopping list is key Once you have your meal plan, you can get to work creating your shopping list. It’s wise to do this in your kitchen so you can check what staples you have in as you go. If you nd this task boring and time consuming, try creating a list of weekly staples that you can reuse each week. You can always cross things o you don’t need that week but it can save time to have a master list and then add things to it based on what meals you’ve planned. Utilise your freezer Plans can change and using the freezer wisely can help. Take stock of your fridge every few days and freeze anything you’ve not ended up using. You can always cook meals you haven’t used and freeze them for a convenient meal another day. It’s a good idea to have some basics in the freezer like frozen vegetables and cook-from-frozen sh. With basics like rice and pasta in the cupboard you can make unplanned meals easily.
