Meal Planning Tips

Plan Around Proteins

Start with your protein choices (chicken, fish, tofu, beans). Build meals around what you'll buy in bulk.

Ingredient Repetition

Use the same vegetables across 2-3 meals. Buy fresh greens and use them in different recipes.

Balance Your Week

Mix quick meals (20 min) with slower cooks. Have 1-2 "flexible" nights for leftovers or takeout.

Prep Smartly

Chop vegetables once, use in multiple meals. Cook rice or grains in bulk for the week.

Batch Cook

Make double on Sunday, eat fresh one day, freeze the rest for busy nights.

Track Pantry Staples

Know what you always have. Build meals around oil, spices, grains, and canned goods.
