Question

Can you state five points to consider when planning meals?

Community Answer

Certainly. 5 points to consider when planning meals: 1) Be sure to address everyone's dietary needs by including a variety of foods from the major food groups. 2) Make sure you can accommodate special diets for vegetarians and vegans, if required. 3) Plan your meals one week in advance to save money and keep to a budget. 4) Use seasonal fruits and vegetables, which is cost-effective and efficient. 5) Make sure you plan meals that you have time to cook. If you work long hours, look for healthy recipes that are quick and easy to prepare.

Many people have special diets because of health reasons, are vegetarian/vegan, suffer from food allergies, or can't eat certain foods because of their culture or religion. These are important things in their life, so accommodate them if at all possible.
