There's only 2 rules that I can think of right now

What is your meal planning style? Any good meal planning tips?

I am trying to get better at meal planning because I always start off strong then get bored / run out of food at the end of the week. For while I have been doing a big cook on Sunday but this week I am trying a basic menu and cook as I go. Hoping that having a plan will make it easier.

My plan (one person) is

red lentil curry + coconut rice (3 serves made today)
instant pot spag Bol (3 serves made Monday night)
a beef stir-fry (X 2 serves) made wed night
quick ramen noodles + stock and frozen veg in between

Ideally I would prep veg today but I have been away and am tired and can't be bothered so will prep as I go.

What other things are people doing?

I meal prep for 2.5 people, so if I’m not getting 6 meals in the freezer it’s pretty redundant.

These days it’s mostly based around what’s on special. If I can get the veg cheap it’s bolognese. if not, chicken straganoff or Dahl. Pumpkin soup is popular, as is sausage rolls and quiches. Breakfast burritos are a hit too. A lot of my meal prep inspiration comes from YouTube. A lot are bullshit, but some of the shorts arnt bad. There’s a buffalo chicken rice bowl one of them makes that is amazing.
