It's easier to make healthy meal choices when you have all of the ingredients ready to go & recipes ideas listed & quick to choose from.
There's no rules for how to meal plan.
You can plan certain meals for specific days,
or simply list the week's "choices."
It's ok if you don't end up following your plan; life happens.
Other bonuses include:
* A less stressful early evening
(because you KNOW what you're going to make).
* Money savings (less eating out).
* Fewer trips to the food store.
Won't you give it a whirl?
------------------------------------
Here's another thing I do....
SAVE my meal plans from the past (I email them to myself & put into a separate "meal plans" folder). Later on you can refer back to them for effortless future meal plans!



SUN:
Susan :)
Monday: a big salad with romaine, cukes, tomatoes, onion, avocado, cheese, chicken (canned white meat), and balsamic vinegarette
Tuesday: pizza burgers (lean ground beef, pizza sauce (3g sugar), and part-skim mozzarella), steamed artichokes, and three bean salad
Wednesday: pork chops and cabbage - a new recipe I am excited to try
Thursday: broiled tilapia with mango salsa, broccoli, and cauliflower
Friday: grilled steaks, mixed grilled veggies, corn on the cob
Saturday: fish (don't know what/how yet), green beans, and spinach
I will also make a salad every night and probably include some whole grain sunflower bread with most dinners.
