About Meal Planning

Willpower is unreliable at 6pm on a Thursday; systems work every time. One planning hour — three base meals, one list, prepped components — removes a week of decisions.

Start smaller than you think: plan dinners only for two weeks. Expand to lunches once dinners run themselves.

Meal Planning FAQ

How much time does meal planning take?

About an hour weekly once the system exists — thirty minutes planning and shopping-list writing, plus prep you were doing anyway.

Do I need special containers?

Any sealed containers work. Glass reheats best; portion-sized ones remove guesswork.

How long does meal prep last?

Most cooked meals keep four days refrigerated. Freeze anything planned past Thursday.

What if I hate eating the same thing?

Prep components, not meals — grains, proteins and veg that combine differently across the week.
