In this article, we cover the basics of meal planning, 4 must-have essential food groups to include in your diet, How to Count your Calories, How to Diet for Weight Loss, How to plan your menu for the week, mistakes to avoid while meal planning, cheat meals (foods to avoid for cheat meals), how to plan for leftovers & more.

Basics of a Meal Plan

First, we cover the basics of Meal Planning

Mistakes to Avoid

  • Make it a habit to add smaller quantities of sugar or salt to your food and taste it with a spoon before adding more
  • Also, check if the food is cooked by tasting a spoonful to make sure you don't overheat/burn your food.
  • Keep the flame low
  • A video tutorial is always better than a book, this way you know what to add first, and can visibly see if the amount of water and ingredients look similar in quantity.
