*Unique Among Meal Plans
What makes No Plan Meal Plan unique? Besides the delicious whole-foods based meals, it’s our On-Track Planner. This type of planner would easily take you 3-4 hours to complete on your own, and would then save you equal time throughout the week. Luckily, you get to save the time without having spent it! The On-Track Planner saves you time by outlining every step that you can take, on weekends and throughout the week, to consolidate and economize preparation meal prep activities. For more about the On-Track Planner, keep reading below.
There are two sections of the On-Track Planner. The first is Weekend Prep, and the second is Weekly Calendar. The Weekend Prep section outlines all preparation activities that can be consolidated into one session to save you time. For example, if you need chopped onions 3 times throughout the week, you’d normally pull out your knife and cutting board each day that you need the vegetables, chop the onions, discard skins/unusable parts, wash any dirtied utensils, wipe counters, and store leftovers. That’s three days of duplicated efforts that you could have done on one day. And that’s just onions. The On-Track Planner Weekend Prep section helps you by creating a list of all preparation steps that can be consolitated, so that you can do it efficiently on the weekend save the redundant time and energy chopping, cutting and cleaning throughout the week. Other Weekend Prep time saving activities include washing, chopping, marinating, and thawing of ingredients.
The second section of the On-Track Planner is the Weekly Calendar. This calendar tells you what’s for dinner when and more importantly offers friendly reminders to complete quick tasks that you might otherwise forget. For example, if salmon is for dinner on Wednesday and you’re using frozen salmon filets, the Weekly Calendar will helpfully remind you to take the salmon out of the freezer on Tuesday evening. Other Weekly Calendar tasks include soaking beans and legumes, marinating, and reserving double-use ingredients for a subsequent dinner (i.e. saving half a cup of tomato sauce from Tuesday’s pizza for Thursday’s soup). With the Weekend Prep and Weekly Calendar, the On Track Planner truly helps you to make the most of your time, stay on the game plan, and have smashing success.

The Problem With Having No Plan
Planning is like oil in the machine – it makes things go smoothly, and without it things sometimes grind to a halt. Whether you realize it or not, you are spending a tremendous amount of time each week thinking about food! Here are some typical scenarios of food “eating” up your time and energy:
- Weekend: thinking about what to get at the grocery store
- Weekend: Going to the grocery store, possibly doing laps because you forgot things the first time through
- Weeknight: thinking about dinner, what to make, what you can assemble with the ingredients you have
- Weeknight: going back to the grocery store to get what you forgot, or what will complete dinner
- Every night: bickering or negotiating (with others or with yourself!) about what to eat, who’s cooking, etc…
- Weeknight: tired of thinking about dinner, pitching your good intentions of a home-cooked meal and ordering pizza.
- End of week: Cleaning out the fridge, realizing you forgot to use the spinach, which looked delicious a week ago but now just looks sad and goopy. Now you have to clean the crisper.
