Understanding Meal Planning
Meal Planning involves creating structured and personalized meal plans designed to meet an individual’s nutritional needs while promoting a healthy relationship with food. It encompasses developing balanced meal schedules, portion guidance, and ensuring nutritional adequacy to support physical and mental well-being.
For individuals facing challenges with eating disorders, meal planning serves as a crucial tool in establishing regular and normalized eating patterns. It provides structure and guidance around meals, helping individuals overcome food-related anxieties and rebuild a positive relationship with food.
