Question

What is meal planning?

Answer 1

Before you shop at the grocery store, you figure out what you want to eat for the next several meals (including left over foods). Then you buy your groceries according to your plan. When you plan meals ahead of time, you save money and time, you provide more variety and you don't have to worry if you have the needed ingredients or not.

Answer 2

The planning of a meal

Answer 3

Planning ahead.

This ensures or at least can prevent  making bad choices if you do not have something planned.

I have worked in hospitlality and was taught to prepare for 2 meals in advance.

So I make chicken for dinner one night and have enough left to do chicken salad or chicken stir fry for the next day.

Now if I make stir fry I have enough rice to use for the next meal and may end up making rice wraps with chicken and vegetables.

The left over vegetables can be used in a soup or stew and on it goes.

By planning ahead you spend less time in the kitchen and probably waste less food.

Shop with your menu in mind.

Make sure you have a good supply of fresh, as well as non perishable items like pasta etc.

Meal planning can be both easy, affordable and fun.
