5 Steps to Make a Meal Planner

Meal sample planning helps you save money and time, eat healthier food choices, and reduce food waste. Follow these simple steps for effective meal planning.

Step 1: Find time to plan your meal.

Before you get too busy with the household chores during the weekend, find time to basic plan your meal for next week. Grab your digital device or your pen and paper and start thinking about what you should prepare for the week to follow. It is important to plan everything so that you’ll have more time to go to the grocery store and purchase the ingredients.

Step 2: Check if there are other events you need to attend during that week.

Before making a food simple list, make sure to check your calendar if there are upcoming events in which your presence is requested. By doing this, you will know when to cook and when not to cook. Also, if there is a lunch or dinner offered in a meeting or an event, you can avoid preparing more food than what you can consume for that day. This will save you from having leftovers.

Step 3: Start making a food list.

Now that you know which days of the week you need to prepare a hearty meal, start making your food sample list. Make sure that the food you plan to prepare is nutritious and well-balanced. Your printable list needs to include three food choices such as protein, starch or grain, and a handful of vegetables or fruits. You can also assign a food theme for each night, like chicken night, pizza night, pasta night, etc.

Step 4: Check your food stock.

Check your refrigerator or pantry and see if there are available ingredients that you can make use of. This way, you can save money and avoid food spoilage. In creating your recipe, you can make use of a recipe cookbook template.

Step 5: Print out your meal plan.

Now that you have everything planned out, it is helpful to have both a hard copy and a soft copy of your meal plan in PDF. Print out your finished meal plan and post it in an area of your kitchen where it can be seen immediately.
