Smart Tips for Meal Planning
Plan ahead for one dinner or a full week of dinners - whatever you can
manage. With a meal plan in place, you'll find mealtimes less stressful.
You'll also eat healthier, and you'll save money and time too!
These tips will help you plan:
- Use up the foods you have on hand first.
- Ask your children for ideas.
- Plan meals to suit your activities for a week.
- Follow Canada's Food Guide.
- Reinvent leftovers.
5 ways to help your child eat right
- Shop, cook and eat together.
- Make one meal, not seperate meals. Serve a food your child will eat
(even bread) so nobody goes hungry.
- Stick to a routine. Serve three meals and two or three small snacks.
No grazing!
- Trust your child's appetite. Let your child decide what and how much to eat from the healthy foods you offer.
- Turn off the TV.
