[quote=Anonymous]I've always meal planned, and was chatting with some co workers about this.  They seemed genuinely surprised.  This is apparently not a thing? How many of you meal plan? How does your meal plan look?

I have been meal planning for a out 15 years and it makes life infinitely simpler.

For reference I am Gen X.  I grocery shop once every two weeks.  I meal plan every weekend for the upcoming seven days.  I rarely do takeout and make nearly everything from scratch. Maybe twice a month max for takeout. You'll notice my meal Lan us vague BC I'm never quite sure what types if veggies etc I'll have on hand.

My meal plans are general. For 7 days I plan 5 meals BC you always have leftovers.  So I'll have a couple smorgasbord nights.This is my 7 day meal plan (5 meals) for this week:

Grilled tofu and grilled veg with spicy sauce (siracha mayo and bell pepper onion)
Salad night (all the toppings and green lentils for protein and barley or farro)
Fish (grilled) tacos with fresh salsa, avocado
Pasta night with basic marinara
Soup night with nuns puffs (puffy bread). Soup this week will be white bean with farro, kale etc.)

I do the same for the second week but by the end if the second week we are eating the cupboards down.  At that point there won't be as much fresh veg.  But I'll have plenty of frozen.  So one night will be a spinach quiche and another night will be a chick pea curry with canned whole tomatoes and brown rich, yoghurt etc. You get the idea.  Or black beans and rice with corn salsa roasted, made with frozen corn.
