How can I improve my meal planning?
assistant
1. Start by creating a shopping list that contains all the ingredients you need for the meals you plan to make. Look for recipes that can be prepped ahead of time or that use ingredients you already have on hand.
2. Plan the meals for the week ahead and make sure to include a variety of nutritious ingredients. Taking the time to shop for healthy foods and cook meals at home can help you save money in the long run and improve your health.
3. Consider cooking in bulk and freezing the leftovers for easy meals down the line. This could help save time and energy on nights when you don’t feel like cooking.
4. Set aside some time each week to meal plan, shop and prepare snacks and meals. This way, you won’t be caught off guard when hunger strikes.
5. Keep track of meals you've made, so you don’t get stuck in a routine. Utilize food delivery services or meal planning apps for inspiration.
