When it comes to meal planning, my strategy always begins with the most substantial meals first: dinners, then breakfast, followed by lunch. Once these primary meals are established, I then strategically fill in my snacks for the day, utilizing any remaining macros, Weight Watchers points, or 21 Day Fix containers. This approach ensures that my main meals are balanced and satisfying, while snacks complement my nutritional needs.
