I Tried To Make A More Structured Meal Plan… Here’s How It Went

In this video I’m trying a more structured approach to meal planning for the next week and a half. Normally, I don’t plan meals in detail—instead I just make sure I have a mix of easy, healthy, and quick options available and decide day by day what to cook. But I wanted to try something more structured to see if it helps me use up food more efficiently and reduce decision fatigue during the week. I’m focusing on using up fresh ingredients that need to be used, as well as older freezer meals, while still keeping things realistic for my busy routine. This is still an experiment for me, and I may adjust or simplify it again depending on how it works in real life.
