Planning ahead when it comes to your nutrition may seem like a time consuming, painful and boring task, but is often they key to helping you achieve a well balanced, healthy diet. Healthy Food Guide nutritionist and Lose Weight for Life author Claire Turnbull offers some advice to help you with your nutrition planning.
To be quite honest, planning is a really, really important tool if you are wanting to eat well.
Whenever I say the words βmeal planningβ I can just hear the sighs, ‘oh no’s andβ¦ ‘do we really have to?’ Honestly though, it sounds worse than it is, and boyβ¦the investment of 5-10 minutes of your time each week can save you from wandering aimlessly (and hungry) round the supermarket trying to work out what to eat (yes, I have seen you β itβs painful to watch, I donβt know how people do it!).
It can also save you money and mean that you eat better after all β all this from an A4 piece of paper and a pen! SOβ¦to make it more appealing, letβs rename this process; Iβd like to suggest we call it β POWER planning
Your POWER plan doesnβt need to be fancy! So long as it works for you.
