What is Meal Planning?
Meal planning is the action of deciding meals in advance using your schedule, preferences, foods on-hand, seasonal produce and sale items as a guide. This leads to grocery shopping once a week for only the items needed and also having others, such as family members, involved in creating the menu or preparing foods.
When you know how to meal plan, you can customize a weekly plan that improves your health and fits the family schedule.
