Why Meal Plans Are Not Worth It – Episode 179

Hola, Hola, Hola! Welcome to One Small Bite!

Back when I first started as a dietitian, I was on a mission to do two things for my practice …

Create the best meal plans for my clients

Find the best foods to put in those plans

I wanted to make sure I could help people improve their health with the best meal plans out there.

Noble concept, right? Or at least I thought so!

I used to spend hours calculating all sorts of nutrients content to create the best meals plans. I wanted to make sure they were low calorie, but contained a variety of foods. I wanted to make sure they were low in saturated fat, sodium, and sugar. They also had to be low to no processed foods in these meal plans.

In this episode I’ll discuss why meal plans are not really worth it.

Listen in today as I discuss…

How meal plans perpetuate diet culture
How they are too complicated
The pros and cons are and who they really benefit
How meal planning can be done in a simpler and more sustainable way
One small approach to build a way of eating that is helpful for you
