know meal planning can seem a bit daunting, but it's really, really important, especially when starting something new. When everything is planned out, you're less likely to panic because "you don't have anything to eat and you're starving," you actually SAVE money on your weekly grocery list by limiting what you're purchasing to necessities, and you save time during the week by not having to spend hours figuring out what you're going to eat. I'd call all of that a win.
