The importance of meal planning
Meal planning can be what makes the difference between successful eating, enjoying healthy and nutritious foods and opting for ready-made meals or take-aways that are high in fat, sugars and salts. I am a big advocate of meal planning because, being a full-time carer, as well as running my own business and trying to keep my own health in check, planning makes things easier for me, enabling me to shop for and organise my meals ahead of time, and cook up using the ingredients I already have to hand (reducing food waste). It also prevents me from doing a mad dash to the shops where I may get tempted (depending on how hungry I am at the time of shopping) with so many goodies that surround me, and waste money!
