- 5 Reasons Why
- Cost - if you buy the right amount of food this saves you money
- Minimise food waste by not buying too much - if you buy the right items with the right dates for your plan then you minimise the need to get rid of food not eaten
- Nutrition - taking time out to plan means that you can really think about the impact of certain menus on your health and you are much more focussed
- Forgotten Ingredients - There is nothing worse that looking forward all day to a really nice meal, especially if you have been fasting, to find you have forgotten that key ingredient you needed
- Flexibility - Having a plan means that you can be flexible if your plans change. You can swap from a day when you were intending to cook to a day where you want much of an easier to prepare meal or vice versa
- When to plan ?
- Plan before you go shopping
- How to plan ?
- Plan your menus first. Only do fast days if this seems to daunting at first
- Consider when you are in and out during the week and whether the meal should be quick or not
- As a general rule of thumb I would try not to plan too many overcomplicated recipes in the week
- Identify ingredients
- Go through each of your menus and get the ingredients
- Work out which ones you already have whether or not in the freezer, store cupboard or fridge
- Write a list of required ingredients
- Go to the shops and get
- Other planning activity
- Monthly Shop - go and get your freezer and dried food stocks once a month. It will give you a clear understanding as to what you get through in a month and also what you can improve in the future.
- Batch Cook - make a few portions of the same thing and freeze them.
