Diets alone don’t work!

●Diet studies over the last several decades have showed that there is no one-size fits all successful diet

What is meal planning?

• Thinking ahead about what you are going to eat and taking steps to make that a reality

• A process that takes into account your tastes, health conditions, activities, budget, nutritional goals, etc.

• Not just for meals at home - plan ahead for eating out

Why don’t we meal plan?

• “Don’t know what I will feel like eating days from now”

• “I don’t have time to plan meals”

• What if my schedule changes?

• “I don’t see the benefit of planning or having a list”

• “It seems too difficult, I don’t know how to meal plan”

• “Everyone in my family has different tastes and I can’t please them all!”

How could meal planning be helpful to you?

• Save time and energy

• Save money

• Reduce stress & “decision fatigue”

• Help control portion size

• Make healthier eating choices

• Connect with your family

• Cut back on food waste…

Food Waste = $$

• Up to 40% of all food produced in the US and worldwide is never eaten!

• American families throw out up to 25% of food and beverages they buy, costing up to $2,275 annually.
