PlateJoy is a meal planning service that lets me personalize my weekly menu pretty much every which way and is always changeable during the menu-making process. Some of these customizations include family size, weight loss goals, types of cooking appliances on hand (like microwave, slow cooker or instant pot), dietary preferences (like low carb, Paleo, Mitterrandian, keto, low FODMAP, diabetic, vegetarian, kosher, gluten-free, dairy-free, and more — even nursing mother). Meal Planning Made Easy - PlateJoy

So many “other just-for-me” considerations are taken into account like how much time I have for breakfast, whether I’m in a leftover mood, preference for variety, and what specific ingredients I want to avoid due to allergy, availability or that I just don’t have a taste for. Read on to learn how easy the plan is to implement into life (I even have a great $10 off PlateJoy discount code FITFORK10): Continue reading →
