Daily Fit Tip: Plan a weekly menu

Categories: Daily Fit Tip, Nutrition & Supplements

One of the biggest hurdles to eating right can be organizational. If you plan your meals in advance and make a weekly menu you can get everything you need at the grocery store ahead of time and have it handy when it's time to eat. If you've got all the items on hand for a healthy dinner that sounds good you'll be less likely to defer to bad habits like ordering out or cooking a frozen pizza.

Some suggestions on menu planning are to sit down once a week, preferably before you go grocery shopping, and plan out what you want to eat for the week. It doesn't have to be a long process -- just think of healthy foods you like, aim for variety, and keep it practical and simple. And you don't have to be perfect at every meal as far as food groups go, just try to work it out so it balances out for the week.
