I actually meal plan every week for my online fitness accountability groups and the bonus is I then have my family's plan for the week! Nutrition is such an important component of getting healthy and be prepared with meals helps ensure everyone keeps on track. By providing meal plans each week my challengers are inspired to plan, get ideas and learn that eating healthy doesn't have to mean you only eat salads! Plus meal planning keeps you organized - no more trying to figure out what's for dinner at 5 pm that night!!
I discovered there are lots of online meal plans and I decided to test out a system called Plan to Eat. This has made my life so much easier! You save your own recipes (or recipes found on the internet) into their website, then drag and drop them onto the calendar. I have always struggled with what to do with all the recipes I pin on pinterest . . . no more, now I just add them to my recipes on Plan to Eat and can just drop them into my week when I am planning. I love that all my favorites are in one place because let's face it's easy to forget some of our favorites and keep going to the same thing each week! I also love that I can easily make notes on the container count for each meal for those following the 21 Day Fix.
BUT my favorite thing is Plan to Eat creates a grocery list for you!! I pulled up Plan to Eat on my phone and BAM there is my grocery list ready to go!! How cool is that?! No more worrying about forgetting your list or forgetting to add something to your list!
I LOVE this service!! You can try a 30 day FREE trial which I highly recommend so you can play around with it. After that it's $39.00 a year which I think is well worth it. Meal planning saves you money in the long run as well as keeps you and your family healthy!! Happy planning! :)
