I think planning a meal is a waste of time because when you come to have it, you don't feel like it. Spontaneous I am and that is probably why our freezer and cupboards are full of all sorts of yummy goodies!

Sure I do. After all, how many things are there to look forward to in life? Food is something that delights the senses and it doesn't hurt to think of nice things (food)!

Hello there, I have a habit to pre-arrange or plan what I have to do the following day, weeks and months. Including the meals I like to plan. E.g. Monday lunch rice with fish and vegetables; supper will be stir fried noodles with vegetables and Tuesday lunch and supper will be Lasagne etc. The pre-plan not only keep everything in control and well organize, but also relax my mind so that I won’t be in a panic. In the mean time, my hubby and daughter are happy with the food I prepare and more enjoyable while eating as it seems lots of selections throughout the week.

Planning meals - is one thing I don't do.
No I don't plan out meals but rather decide on the day of. It all depends on what my husband and I have a desire for and we'll go from there. I don't like planning because it may not fit what we have a taste for.

I always try to plan what we will be eating every day, the day before. I hate to figure it out at the last minute. We are going to have some bacon and some salad tomorrow. I will cook my bacon tonight to get ready for it. We will eat in the morning since we work nights.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't, most weeks I have a plan of what meals I will be doing during the week, like tonight for example I am working so don't eat at home but my daughter will be there so I have told her there is a pizza in the freezer to have, tomorrow I will be there at mealtime so will cook sausages, mash potato vegetables and gravy, friday is always fish of somesort etc. Usually have a takeout over the weekend as a treat for all. Somedays I just don't fancy what I had in my mind to cook and we will have something else entirely. Ellie :D

I do not plan it like a day before but it usually comes in my mind the meal that I would like to eat when I start getting hungry. It makes me wonder if it's available somewhere, so at least, I know where I could go to grab that food.

I do not plan my meals ahead of times. I feel like this is a terrible thing for me to do though; it is hard for me to eat if I do not plan ahead. I am in the process of trying to change my life for the better and one aspect of this change will be proper nutrition. I feel like it will be much easier to eat well if I honestly plan things ahead of time so that I know exactly what I need to do for dinner, lunch, or breakfast ahead of time. But as of right now, I don't plan, and because of this... I miss many meals (not a good thing to do!)
