![]() What I’m sharing in this post is MY EXPERIENCE and what works for ME, which may be different than what works for YOU. Now, before I jump in, I want to acknowledge that everyone has their own individual nutrient needs. Enter Meal Templates (aka Lazy Meal Planning) I much prefer to follow a loose meal template than a strict meal plan (which I lovingly refer to as “lazy meal planning”). This is why lazy meal planning is my M.O. It’s just that most of ‘em aren’t some polished, pre-planned, cooked-all-on-Sunday sort of thing. Now, this doesn’t mean all of my meals are completely UNplanned. People are shocked to hear that I’m both a dietitian and a non-meal planner. OR, hubby and toddler will scarf down more food than expected and I’ll have NO leftovers, in which case a plan that accounts for leftovers will also be screwed up.Īm I the only person who feels this way?! Is there a Failed Meal Planners Anonymous group I’m supposed to join? I will likely have leftovers and then leftovers will become another meal and then the whole “plan” will get screwed up.I probably won’t want what the meal plan says I’m supposed to eat (I can’t force myself to eat salad when my body wants chili.).Since I eat in-season (and since that varies regionally), unless the meal plan comes with my farm box for the week, I won’t have the ingredients for all those recipes.I almost never follow recipes to a “T.”. ![]() No matter how good the combinations sound, the rebel in me knows that: I look at a weekly meal plan that is supposed to make my life “easier” and I already feel like a failure because I know there’s no way I’m actually going to eat exactly that. I hear the word meal plan and my brain turns to jelly. ![]()
