Plan your meals ahead of time
You can save money, time, and effort by developing a weekly menu and then shopping for the necessary items. By doing this, you will avoid last-minute decisions that often result in grabbing high calorie, processed foods when you are too tired and hungry to plan a healthier meal. Key things to help you do this:
– make a list of the five food groups
– keep recipes in this binder
– experiment a bit with new seasonings, foods, and recipes
– make your diet colorful, include a variety of nutrient-packed foods from each food group
