Healthy Eating Meal Planning

Here are some tips for healthy eating meal planning:

Map out a general schedule for the entire week. Do this near the end of the week because of the market specials.

In planning your family's meals, keep in mind, age, sex, activity, and the occasion. Each member of the family should have 3 substantial meals each day, with particular emphasis upon the needs of a growing child for a high protein diet.

In considering cost, it is more economical to grow your own vegetables and fruits and, if possible, to keep chickens and a cow or a goat. Buy the basic foods first, then the extras. Herbs, seasonings, dried fruits, olives, coconut and special cheeses add variety to a meal.

These tips can make your meals easy to plan during the week.
