How to Meal Plan

Take a moment to sit down and carefully assess the upcoming week. Consider the various commitments and obligations you have, especially in relation to evening meals.

Will you be able to have dinner at home every night? If not, it might be wise to plan ahead and prepare a meal or two in advance, especially for those nights when you'll be arriving late from work.

When planning a one week meal plan for two, you might also want to make meals knowing you'll have leftovers. That way you can use the leftovers for another meal during the week. Or perhaps take the leftovers to work with you.
