I do a ton of freezer meals and meal plan my entire week. Additionally, I have meal planned the whole month of Feb for dinners for our family! This will help in keeping us on our healthy living lifestyle, but also cut down in cost with shopping. I preschedule leftovers, and also use those for lunches if I'm not having a shake. I try and do breakfast ideas that will feed the kids for a few days. Protein muffins, egg burritos, etc. Here are some of my favorites.
