Meal Planning Rather than opining and getting grandiose, I’ll quickly explain my reasoning behind my meal planning, what i’m aiming for, and the items on the list. The inspiration is simple. I’ve been experimenting for the past couple of years in the vegan/vegetarian recipe space, and, at this point, I spend too much time improvising, and reacting. I want a more targetted, more intentionally nutritionally balanced meals, and a plan. Having a plan saves time and effort, and I need a more explicit default setting.
