    WHAT IS MEAL PLANNING?


    Meal planning is making a plan of meals with adequate nutrition for every
    member of the family within the available resources. The term ‘available resources’
    means whatever the family has in terms of time, energy and money.

    IMPORTANCE OF MEAL PLANNING


    Meal planning is important for meeting the nutritional requirements of the family
    members. It helps us to decide what to eat each day and in each meal. We can call it our
    ‘daily food guide’.
    Meal planning helps us to:
    (a)Fulfill the nutritional requirements of the family members
    (b)Make the food economical
    (c) Cater to the food preferences of individual members
    (d) Save energy, time and money
    (e) Use left over food
    The following section, will help you to understand these points clearly.
    HOME SCIENCE
    Meal planning
    Meal planning is the process of creating meals based on one’s preferences, availability of
    food, seasonal foods, sales on foods, schedule, and most especially budget. Home meal
    preparation has become more and more advocated as a way to enhance dietary quality.
    According to a study, people who planned their meals had better diets with higher
    adherence to dietary guidelines and a wider variety of foods. Meal planning can help put
    an end to the dreaded "What should I make for the family today?" dilemma and help you
    eat healthy while on a budget.
    Planning a meal on a budget
    Planning a meal on a budget doesn’t have to deprive you of the food that you love; rather
    it should help you
    utilize your resources better. When trying to be intentional about your spending, meal
    planning is a great first step. When you create a meal plan, you can determine how much
    you want to spend for the week or the month. This will also help you avoid impulse
    spending.
    Some benefits of meal planning are:
    1. Meal planning helps maintain a healthy diet.
    2. It helps to plan your shopping and cooking in order to avoid buying and eating
    unhealthful foods on impulse.
    3. It helps to save time normally wasted on deciding what to eat.
    4. It is cost-effective to buy foodstuffs in bulk and preserve them for later use.

    Tips on how to plan your meals on a budget


    1. Menu planning: Make a list of the ingredients you'll need for each recipe and decide
    which ingredients you'll need from the grocery store, keeping in mind the ingredients that
    the family is allergic to. You'll be less likely to spend money on convenience foods and
    fast food when you have a strategy. Meals must be scheduled within your budget while
    keeping in mind your financial situation. Base your meals on what is on sale or goods you
    can buy in bulk. To prevent food from going to waste, stock up on items you will actually
    eat. To keep expenses down, the menu should include affordable, nutrient-dense
    alternatives.
    2. Food habits and preferences: Another crucial factor that must be taken into account
    is eating habits. Preferences merit special consideration. Understand the food
    preferences of your family. Encourage your

    family to share their favorites and participate in menu planning. You may then keep an
    eye out for favorite ingredients and foods during sales.
    3. Pattern and Frequency of Meals: The number of meals eaten each day and the
    times at which those meals are eaten also affect the menu items chosen. It helps to plan
    and prepare meals ahead of time. It also helps to decide on the quantity of goods being
    purchased.

    segregating, sorting, preparing, adding ingredients in correct proportions, presenting, etc.
