What is Paleo Meal Planning?
Meal planning is simply sitting down and taking a moment to make decisions on what you want your paleo meals to include for the week. You will need to do some thinking about what you enjoy eating within the paleo perimeters, recipe research and create your shopping list. You should take time to plan your meal prepping day and time as well. Choose what day you will prepare for the week. Sunday afternoons are usually best for most people.
Prepping your paleo meals involves preparing your seven days of meals ahead of time so eating is made simple for the week.
Why Plan Paleo Meals?
