I thought I’d put up a post on how I go about planning my meals for the week. First of all, everyone (seriously it will change your life and you will be a better person and end world hunger) should get Evernote. It is hands down the best program I have ever come across. I keep everything in it from recipes I’m yet to make (once I’ve made them I put them into another program) to notes on upcoming shows I’m doing, notes about this blog and my other blogs, absolutely everything! I sync it to my iPhone so I can view the notes anywhere.
Plug aside, here is what my weekly menu plan looks like.

As you can see, I write down everything I am going to have for the week, because this keeps me focussed and I remember not to just drink tea / eat fruit / eat crackers now that I seem to be allergic to everything. Writing down every meal is kind of a hassle, so not for everyone, but if you even just planned out the weekly dinners you will be saving yourself time and money!
I also have my key at the bottom for ‘processed’ foods and whether I ate out of the house. This is mostly so I can see at a glance whether I need to cut back on either of these things. It works well for me, I eat a lot healthier when I’m being brutally honest with myself like this.
HNGGHHH EVERNOTE.
I totally second everything you have said on this. Ever. And your meal plan is set out a lot better than mine, I have it in a list.
Lol I read the comment without reading the name of the commenter and I was like HM I WONDER WHO THIS IS.
I totes give you the credit. I wouldn’t have done one if you weren’t like LOOK WHAT I DO?
Over use of caps? WHAT OF IT?
