The Importance of Meal Planning for Holidays & How to Do It
Meal planning is a great way to maximize your time and budget. It also gives you greater control over your diet and helps you make healthy choices more consistently.
It’s a smart strategy any time of year, but for the holidays a meal plan can be a lifesaver. It will prevent you from going too far off your healthy eating plan. Meal planning also reduces the inevitable stress of this busy time of year by giving you one less thing to think about at mealtime.
Why Bother Meal Planning for Holidays?
While it may seem like another chore to add to your list, meal planning can actually save you time, stress, and worry. Here’s how.
It Reduces Stress During the Holiday Season
This is a busy time of year. Your calendar is packed with events like Christmas concerts, Thanksgiving dinners, office parties, and more. Staying busy with festive events can be fun, but it can also be really stressful. “Dieting during the holidays is a tricky balance. Staying on track is not as easy when you have added pressure from your family and an endless amount of treats right in front of you. Oftentimes as well, we hold emotional attachments to these holiday foods and associate some of our favorite memories of the holidays, with food,” notes Emmie Satrazemis, RD, CSSD at Trifecta.
By planning for how, when, and what you’ll eat, you take the guesswork out of mealtime. Instead of trying to come up with a healthy meal or snack at the last minute, you’ll know exactly what to do.
