How Do You Create A Nutrition Plan?
• List any food allergies or restrictions that need to be taken into consideration. • Learn basic guidelines about healthy food choices, portion size and recommended daily intakes amounts. • Create a chart to plan out your meals. • Use a weekly chart to plan every day for the whole week in advance. This will allow you to create one grocery list for the week. • Remember to take into consideration any special events or activities that you have planned. • Doing this at the same time every week will help make this a habit that you can stick with. • Plan your meals so they encompass any food restrictions and recommended daily intake amounts. • Planning 5-6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 big meals is often highly recommended. Follow your plan. • Consider making meals in advance to reduce food preparation times. • Make note of any times you deviate from your plan and why. Take this into consideration when you plan your next week.
