I'm too busy
If finding time to shop is difficult, consider ordering groceries or meal kits online and having them delivered to your home (but see our note about meal kits below).
An unpredictable schedule can make it hard to plan. Start with just one or two meals a week. That way, ingredients won’t go uneaten and spoil in your refrigerator.

I don't like leftovers
Leftovers are great for lunch the next day, but not everyone likes them, and some recipes make too many servings.
There are online recipes and meal planning apps that allow you to adjust the recipe for the number of servings.
You can also try making things that mix and match with different ingredients. A roasted chicken can be used later in tacos or soup.

I don't like to cook
Not everyone enjoys being in the kitchen. The trick is getting in and out as quickly as possible!
Look for recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less and rely on just a few ingredients.
A lot of edible food that is wasted is from forgotten takeout containers and leftovers. Keep those containers front and center in your refrigerator so you’ll remember to eat them.

I don't know what I want
If planning specific meals ahead of time just isn’t your thing, it may help to keep your kitchen stocked with things you can use to put together different meals.
Keep cans of beans and tomatoes and boxes of pasta and grains in your pantry. Freeze meat to keep it until you are ready to use it, and stock your refrigerator with versatile fresh ingredients like lemons, limes, garlic, ginger and parsley.
