Not just money either. With meal planning, you will also be able to economize your time and improve your health. Seems too good to be true, doesn’t it? But it is true. Meal planning can actually change your life for the better.

Okay, so it’s great. But is it easy to do? Read on.

You just need to think of a menu you’d like to enjoy for the next week. Once you’ve decided, list down the ingredients on a sheet of paper or type them down on your phone or tablet. Now, you can use the list you just made as your next grocery list. See, that wasn’t so hard. Meal planning is as easy as one, two, three!

On top of all that, it also comes with several benefits.
Keep reading to find out:

1. Meal planning prevents you from overspending.
   Since you now have a list of items to buy, you will be less likely to wander around the supermarket and purchase unnecessary items. What items, you ask? Oh you know, those things that seem like a good idea at the time but you end up not touching them for a week or forgetting you even had them. These only end up spoiling and stinking up your fridge! But you can finally avoid those if you follow the list you made for meal planning.
2. Meal planning encourages you to control your portion sizes.
   Another advantage that comes with meal planning is that you can cook all your meals for the week at one time. Then, just store your food in different containers for each day of the week before keeping them in the refrigerator. When you need a meal, just pop one into the microwave and it will be as scrumptious as it was when you first made it.
3. Meal planning motivates you to keep your meals balanced.
   Eating the same thing every day can be boring and unhealthy. With meal planning, you are able to raise your awareness of the food you eat daily. As a result, you will become more inclined to add variety to your meals. Throw in a mixture of herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables in your meals to make it exciting!
4. Meal planning helps you to be more productive.
   With less time, fuel, and money spent on going to the supermarket, grocery shopping, and cooking, you can finally invest your assets in something else! Just think about it. You can use your savings to improve your patio, start a garden or try out a new hobby! Isn’t that great?
