Make a meal plan
Meal plans help take the guess work out of which foods to eat, the best way to prepare meals, and offer suggestions for coping with unpredictable eating schedules. Plans address the following:
- Weight maintenance goals and challenges (e.g., post-pregnancy, PCOS, menopause)
- Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, PCOS, hypertension, high cholesterol)
- Reproductive issues (e.g., pre-pregnancy, pregnancy)
- Budgetary considerations (e.g., in-home meal preparation, restaurant menu choices)
- Personal time constraints (e.g., meal prep, work schedules, family considerations)
