I have a method for meal plans that I always stick to (and I make free meal plans for my readers every week, so it’s fan approved). I always choose 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches and 7 dinners. This helps cut down on costs, allows you to meal prep breakfasts and lunches and makes things easier. If you prefer a different breakfast and lunch each day that is ok too.
