In my personal opinion... no. Everyday we have newborn situations and we need to prioritise some things, (we won’t ALWAYS be able to follow a strict routine). Yet, planning meals at the start of the week USB a good way to actually eat good meals!
I use internet templates! Complete with Weekly Menus, Grocery Lists, Recipes and more-it really helps keep it simple and less stressful!
If you are living alone, you can. Try and set a time for each meal and predict how long it will take you to eat. (e.g Breakfast at 07:30, Lunch at 12:00 and Dinner at 19:00). If you can’t get up early to set out the meal then you can maybe bulk-prep.
I think yes, you have to have a checklist of things to buy in the market then have a one-week list of possible meals you will consume so you can see if it has variety and has value on it.
The app I use is MealBoard. It saves your recipes (and sucks recipes into the app from websites), and helps you manage your shopping lists. It was a serious game changer for me. I am so efficient now, and I was stuck in a rut before but now I try new recipes, and I don’t overshop. There’s a similar app called Paprika, does the same stuff, a little more well known maybe, but I love MealBoard and both need to exist so they continue innovating...so maybe get whichever is lagging a little behind in ratings!
Prepare all ingredients so that when cooking for meals they are available. And think of the goal of eating good food. Namely for yourself.
To be honest, I have no idea. I always organize my diet by buying less things that I can cook in different ways and/or with different condiments.
I am vegetarian, and because of this in every meal I’m so proud of myself and it feels great ... so I prepare every meal with energy and happiness. I watch cooking shows and learn some ideas ... and I go shopping for vegetables, fresh vegetables can make hungry any person, so there is a reason to cooking... :)
So i am focusing on the healthy eating right now. So keeping that in mind i want to start my day with a healthy and energetic breakfast than something mild for snack something low fat high protein for my lunch and then at dinner i want something very nutritious
I don’t think so. I work with what I have in the fridge and can always come up with something nice. Plus this allows me to be creative from time to time.
