For starters: what makes a good meal plan?

Meal plans are pre-planned menus that sort out your weekly or monthly eating habits. They are often based on dietary choices or restrictions, like low-carb or high-protein diets. They’re also a fun and easy way to keep track of your menus and ensure you’re getting optimal nutrition. Start by laying out your goals. Do you want to eat healthier, watch your weight or be more organized? A meal plan will help you commit to a new diet by creating structure. It will also help you to avoid old, bad habits like eating takeout or junk food. Grab a calendar and compile your favorite recipes. Assign a recipe to a day, and you’re good to go! It’s worth noting too that you don’t have to follow a specific diet to create a successful meal plan, particularly if you enjoy variety in your diet. Check out our menu for an idea of the diversity in our food plans each week.

Create a healthy or low-calorie meal plan
