WHY MEAL PLANNING IS IMPORTANT
SAVE TIME
✶ Lack of time is one of the biggest barrier to healthy eating! With a meal plan you don’t need to spend time trying to decide what you eat or make those pressing trips to the grocery store for a forgotten item.
SAVE MONEY
✶ The cost of eating out and delivery meals definitely adds up. With meal plans you buy items in bulk, which lead to huge money savings! You also won’t be inclined to purchase foods outside your shopping list when grocery shopping.
LESS STRESS
✶ The famous “what’s for dinner” question will no longer be followed with annoyance and stress. Instead, meal time is relaxed… no rushed preparation, no last minute takeout, no 'hangry' kids and no mental stress about what to eat.
REDUCE WASTE
✶ Food waste in Canada is estimated to value $31 billion annually and almost 50% of that food waste happens in households (3). Not only will you help your own bottom line when reducing food waste but you’ll contribute to a more environmentally responsible world.
MANAGE HUNGER
✶ No more eating everything and anything because you’re so hungry! Meal planning helps manage hunger and overeating by having food planned to eat once hungry.
