In its simplest terms, meal planning is a skill, used by many across the globe to help with budgeting, shopping lists, saving time, minimising food waste and to ensure your body is getting everything it needs. It can also be used as a tool to provide structure to eating patterns, which can be especially useful when making changes to eating behaviours, particularly in the absence of hunger and fullness cues. At The Nourish Rooms we provide individualised care, that is unique to you. Therefore, Sam will assess whether a structured meal plan may be beneficial for you, depending on your current relationship with food and what your specific difficulties are. If we agree it is, then, like all of the care at The Nourish Rooms, it will be a collaborative experience – acting as co-pilots on your recovery, we will design it together. It may look more like a template for your eating pattern throughout the day, with suggestions of the types and amounts of foods to be included at each mealtime personalised to meet your health needs. However, it will not be so specific to dictate exactly what to eat for every meal and snack. At The Nourish Rooms, we believe in equipping you with the skills to manage your condition and maintain your own health long term. Therefore, Sam will educate you on how to build balanced meals and snacks that meet your unique needs and help you meet and sustain your goals.
