What better way to kick off your healthy eating than stocking up, stock taking and analysing the types of food you eat typically on a day to day basis! As a side bonus you get to save the money you would otherwise spend on convenience foods.
1. Plan a head, a week or two is good, pack those meals and snacks.
Plan to have most meals cooked or prepped the day ahead and packed in Tupperware/ airtight containers. This way you are prepared to travel and eat on the go and reheating is a piece of cake.
2.Record the meal plans and shopping.
Those digitally inclined I'd recommend the app Shop Shop or Menu Planner. Although nothing beats the old fashioned scrap of paper. If you'd like to print your own. Here's a simple one I quite like. See Weekly planner (List)

| Here's a stationary pad template I used that I brought at the markets- apparently printed from Bupa. I love the way the columns for the shopping list are almost proportional to the Australia Guide to Healthy Eating. |
As de-clutter expert Kim Carruthers' blog page says "Having a shopping list makes you more confident that you have everything you need, and cuts down on costly unplanned eating out or takeaways."
