Use the Meal Planner for Evening Meal

Follow the samples on pages 18 and 19, and use these guidelines:

1 Get input from everyone in the living unit. This includes all children.

2 Be specific. The plan should not read “meat” but rather specifically “baked chicken.” It should not say “vegetables” but rather “corn” or “green beans.”

3 Write down the plan for the entire week.

4 Shopping list. Develop your grocery list from your plan. This will eliminate the willpower issue when you get to the store and are tempted to buy what looks good at the moment. (Note: Grocery costs decrease dramatically when one purchases only what is needed!)

5 Post the meal plan in a conspicuous place such as on the refrigerator door.

6 Circle successes with a colored marker. This will provide immediate positive feedback (a great task for young children).
