  1. Preparing the menu list beforehand is the best strategy from the many options available.A  Fortnightly meal plan, a Weekly Plan, a Night before meal plan. I personally like the last one because it gives us the clear picture of what I have at hand and appropriately I can arrange.

    it a lot more easier otherwise all effort will land in a trash. 
  3. Plan to suit your Lifestyle, I prefer once cooked eat twice type.
  4. The menu should be wholesome and nutrient wise. It should include every portion of the nutrients like proteins, carbs, fats, fiber etc to strike a balance diet.
