Benefits of Meal Planning
In my busy schedule, I always seek help by pre-planning my chores. Sames goes for the meal planning.
Moreover, the simple act of meal planning has been shown to result in people eating more fruit and
vegetables and a greater variety of foods overall — constantly a positive change when trying to eat well.
Here is the list of benefits of meal planning:
• It Saves Money
One of the foremost benefits of meal planning is that it saves your money. When you go grocery
shopping with a clear vision and a list of things you want for specific recipes, you will wind up buying a
lot less.
You will not buy an extra thing other than your planned meals that will automatically save your money.
• It Lowers Stress
Did this happen to you too when the clock strikes 6:00 pm, and you questioned yourself that ‘what the
heck I’ll make for dinner today?
Are you always curious about your meals?
If yes, then meal planning can be a solution to your problems. A pre-planned menu eliminates all your
stress of thinking.
• Less Waste
No one wants to waste food. But when you have crafted your daily menu in advance, there is no way to
destroy it.
For instance, if I’m making grilled chicken roasted potatoes, I might plan a chicken stir fry and potato
pancakes in the following plan.
• Opportunity to Try New Things
Meal planning allows trying new things. Do you have a handful of go-to meals that repeat each week?
Scrambled egg and pancakes for breakfast three days in a row? Grilled chicken and veggies in lunch? If
you plan your meals ahead, you will have an opportunity to try new things every other week.
