Meal Planning
Meal planning is more than having an answer to ”What’s for dinner?”. Meal planning can be a way to explore food and make culinary discoveries while eating within your time and budget constraints. If you’re aiming for a specific calorie target or diet type, meal planning can help you figure out what you can have instead of what you can’t have.
We’re excited to introduce our partners in meal planning; Real Plans™, a state of the art meal planning app that is highly customizable and user friendly. There are many popular dietary patterns to choose from including:
Each week, you receive personalized meal plans based on your dietary preferences and restrictions, family size, number of meals you want to prepare, and preferred schedule. From there, you can move things around, swap recipes, plan leftovers, create shopping lists and more.
Real Plans has an incredible database of delicious recipes but it also has the option of importing your favorites from around the web with the click of a button so you’ll never run out of choices or inspiration. Take a look at some of the delicious, nutrient-packed recipes to choose from below.
Building Your Toolbox
We like to think of meal planning as a tool in a toolbox. Just like you have dozens of tools in a toolbox, you have dozens of techniques and methods of doing things that help you succeed every day. While meal planning can be a very helpful tool in reaching your dietary goals, it’s not the only tool we use. Each tool serves a different function and purpose, so it takes all the tools in our toolbox to be successful.
While meal planning by itself is a great tool, we take it a step further and add it to our Nutrition Counseling Packages where we evaluate your specific goals and learn what you want to accomplish with the program. Short on time or resources? No problem, we can help with that. Do you have a pantry full of single ingredients you don’t know what to do with? We can build menus around that. We can work with you one on one to identify goals, calorie targets, and macronutrient ranges while teaching you how to incorporate your meal plans with food and activity tracking tools to get the big picture of your overall nutrition and lifestyle habits.
How It Works
Option 1
Direct Subscription to Real Plans™ – this is your best option if you would just like the meal planning app with no guidance or support from us directly. If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of person and have already pinpointed your goals, dietary preferences, and calorie targets, head over to Real Plans™ to learn more about their subscriptions. With this option, you can link your account to ours to stay connected with a registered dietitian and we will share recipes, ideas, and answer any questions you may have along the way. Give us a call at (505) 308-4797 or send us a message when you’re ready to link your account to ours and we will be happy to provide you with more details on how to connect.
Option 2
A Real Plans™ subscription is included with our Nutrition Counseling Packages where we provide one on one training, personalized guidance, customized menus based on your unique dietary goals, and ongoing support for the length of your package. If you have a 6-Week Nutrition Counseling Package, you get 6 weeks of customized Real Plans™ menus, recipe modifications as needed, and more.
