Meal Planning Tips
Meal Planning Tip #1
Rather than doing each menu day by day – which was way too overwhelming and time consuming for me. I’ve been dividing a page into breakfast, lunch, and dinner (making sure I have at least 1 protein option for every night of the week).
Then, making a list of all the proteins I have to work with that are appropriate to that meal, in one column, the produce in another.
This way, I can quickly make a plan for the next days actual meals, or if I didn’t get that done, I can quickly choose my P&P from the lists as I am packing meals for the day.

Meal Planning Tip #2
I typically eat the same few meals for breakfasts, lunch, and snacks. It’s really dinners that vary. ~ SHumphrey “Sherry”
Meal Planning Tip #3
Meal planning for me is pretty simple: go to the fridge and the freezer and write down all the things I have on hand that need to can be used up, and start filling in the blanks. I use a couple of standby breakfasts that I alternate, and snacks are usually just produce and protein, so I don’t always write them down specifically.

Meal Planning Tip #4
The biggest things for me are washing/cutting/prepping snack baggies when i get home from the store; they’re easy to grab without any guess work. ~ galincognito “Tara”
Meal Planning Tip #5
Breakfast is easy for me. My options are always a protein smoothie eggs with spinach and sausage or bacon if I have it. I make a large batch of peanut butter oatmeal which my husband and son eat many mornings fir the week.
If there is going to be a kids sporting event, I will pre-make turkey burgers and pack them for our dinner on the drive home.
** This also saves a lot of money and is much healthier than fast food.** ~ lolopass “Cathy”
