Meal Planning Workshops

Meal planning is one of the most practical things you can do for recovery. These workshops help you build a realistic eating structure for the week, work out where the harder periods are, and leave with a plan you can actually use.

What To Expect

Each session is facilitated by a trained peer with lived experience of binge eating recovery.

Sessions focus on developing practical meal planning strategies that support regular eating, reduce impulsive food decisions, and create structure around meals and snacks.

You can use your session to:

  • Build a simple and realistic meal plan for the coming days

  • Identify situations that disrupt regular eating patterns

  • Plan meals and snacks to support consistency and reduce binge risk

  • Prepare strategies for busy days or limited time to cook

  • Strengthen confidence in maintaining structured eating patterns

Charlie

The course helped me realise I was spending too much money on food. Learning how to plan meals and set a simple budget made a big difference. The weekend meal planning sessions also helped me prepare for the week ahead so I was not making decisions when I was tired or stressed. The money and time I save can now be reinvested back into myself.

Why Meal Planning Support

Regular eating reduces the risk of binge eating. When meals are unplanned, hunger and decision fatigue do the rest.

These workshops give you a set time each week to sort it out before it becomes a problem.
