Prelogging my food tracker & menu planning

Something I realized I needed to do in order to be successful was to prelog my food for the whole day, preferably at breakfast and sometimes in bed before I get up.

I pretty much eat the same breakfast M W F, a different breakfast Tu Th, another breakfast on the weekends. My lunches follow a similar pattern. This also helps me create a shopping list.

In my Favorites list on the Food Tracker, I created groupings for these different days and labeled them "Breakfast - MWF", "Lunch - MWF", etc.

Grocery Shopping list

I always make a list when doing my "big shop," but since I tend to shop at the same store, I created a permanent list in Excel. The list follows the layout of the store. I can then print the list and fill in how many of an item I need, or simply put a check mark. Then I cross items off as I shop.

Grocery list

I created a grocery list on excel with the things I use most frequently. There's always a copy on the fridge, so when anyone see's we're running low they can mark it on the list. When it's time to go to the grocery store, my list is already made. No searching through the cabinets to see what's low.
