FAQ

How can I make this plan more sustainable?

Focus on seasonal produce and utilize leftovers from dinner as lunches for the following day to minimize food waste.

Should I plan for snacks?

Including snacks in your planning helps prevent impulsive, less healthy food choices when you are hungry between main meals.

How do I handle unexpected schedule changes?
