I have said many times over the course of my career: Meal Planning is the KEY to consistency. And I believe this wholeheartedly, but with some caveats. 

In this episode, I’ll discuss these caveats, why they’re important to take note of and talk you through the importance of a plan b (and plan c) meal plan to get you through the busy weeks. Life's too short to live with food stress, to become a habit builder and not a crash dieter check out Kate's course at Healthy Eating Hub

It seems pretty ridiculous to even have a podcast about this topic, but it just so happens to be one of the most common questions that I get asked in my job as a Registered Nutritionist.

Convenience meals are frequently demonised as being unhealthy. Social media makes a point of saying we shouldn’t eat foods out of a packet. While it’s important to choose whole, minimally processed foods, not all processed foods or foods bought in a packet are ‘bad’ for you.
