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:
Star  A less stressful early evening  (you KNOW what you're going to make).
Star Money savings (less eating out). 
Star 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!

Here's mine...

I've found that it's easier to just keep very few breakfast and snack choices on hand since I don't mind the repetition in small meals, give myself a choice between salad or dinner leftovers for lunch, and then plan ahead for a choice list of interesting dinners. So for this week the choices are:

Breakfast: eggs or Whole Grain Total in a pinch

Snacks: Peanuts, cheese wedges, or an orange

Lunches: Spinach or green salad, or dinner leftovers

Dinners:

Chicken Caprese (modified from 30 Minute Meals): Phase 1
Indian Tomato Soup (from the SBD cookbook): Phase 1
5-Spice Salmon (from the SBD cookbook, also modifying it for tofu): Phase 1
Curried Turkey Burgers (from 30 Minute Meals): Phase 2 w/ whole grain buns, Phase 1 if served over salad
Margherita Pizza (modified from 30 Minute Meals): Phase 1 if using zucchini crust, Phase 2 with whole wheat crust, Phase 3 with white crust
Grilled cheese w/ sundried tomatoes: Phase 2 if using whole grain bread
Stir-fry: Phase 1 (no rice) or Phase 2 (brown rice)

Oh, boy! When I read this recipe, I had to make a trip to the local grocery and pick up the fudgesicles and whipped topping. I couldn't believe that a dessert that tastes this good could be legal. I hope this isn't a cruel joke!
