Why Meal Planning Works

Meal planning doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, the more consistent and simple you make it, the easier it gets. Planning ahead helps you:

Save time by cutting down on last-minute decisions
Spend less at the grocery store because you’re shopping with a purpose
Reduce food waste by using what you already have
Avoid the takeout trap on busy nights

And best of all—it gives you peace of mind knowing that dinner is already decided.

Whether you follow this plan exactly or just use it as inspiration, I hope it helps bring a little more ease to your week.
