Do you want to cook but need some advice on how to meal plan? Shane shares some of his great tips on how to become a master of meal planning.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintaining a healthy diet during your first year of medical school is quite a challenge. After spending countless hours in the library, no one feels like taking the time to cook dinner, especially when takeout or microwavable meals are readily available. I made a promise to myself before my first year began that I was going to take the time and make an effort to eat healthier. If this is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2021\/01\/04\/how-to-set-realistic-goals-for-2021-and-stick-to-them\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">something you\u2019re looking to do<\/a>, check out these tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_1_Make_your_grocery_list_ahead_of_time_and_stick_to_it\"><\/span>Tip 1: Make your grocery list ahead of time and stick to it<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I plan all my meals for the week on Sunday afternoons. This is something that my family has done for years. I personally use a note card or the Notes app on my phone to list the specific groceries that I need for the week ahead. It not only helps expedite your time spent shopping, but also prevents excessive spending when you know exactly what you need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have found that sticking to this list has really helped me stay within my budget, but every once in a while, I will throw a pack of Oreos into the cart that weren\u2019t on my list. I\u2019m only human!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_Pack_your_own_meals_and_snacks_for_your_study_breaks\"><\/span>Tip 2: Pack your own meals and snacks for your study breaks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Believe me, it\u2019s just as simple as a trip to the vending machines at school, but at a fraction of the cost. Instead of cookies or chips, I personally prefer almonds and&nbsp;<em>Nature\u2019s Bakery<\/em>&nbsp;Fig Bars as my go-to study snacks. When I decide to \u201ccamp\u201d at school for a full day of studying on a weekend, I will take the time to pack my own lunch. This can be as simple as a fresh salad with grilled chicken, or leftovers from the night before.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took a few weeks of budget management to realize that a habit of weekly food deliveries was burning a bigger hole in my wallet than I realized. During test weeks though, treat yourself with takeout.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/usmle-step-1-ultimate-guide\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_e298cf.png\" alt=\"Read everything you need to know about the USMLE Step 1\" class=\"wp-image-2364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_e298cf.png 700w, https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/image_e298cf.png?resize=300,107 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/usmle-step-1-ultimate-guide\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_Take_the_time_to_indulge_yourself\"><\/span>Tip 3: Take the time to indulge yourself<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As future health professionals, we all know that healthy eating is important for our overall wellness. With that being said, you shouldn\u2019t feel obligated to survive on salads exclusively. Call&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2019\/04\/18\/top-5-benefits-of-osmosing-with-family\">someone in your family<\/a>&nbsp;who\u2019s into cooking (I\u2019m sure they\u2019d love to hear from you!) and ask for recipes that were your favorite as a child. Take a break to go grab some ice cream and watch the sunset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, one of the best parts of my day is preparing dinner for myself and my wife. I get home from school around 5:00 PM each day and I take an hour to cook dinner for us. This allows us to take a breather, reflect, and talk about our day. I realize that it is incredibly difficult to pull yourself away from the books, but this time is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.osmosis.org\/blog\/2019\/10\/31\/mindfulness-in-medicine\">crucial for your mental health and overall happiness<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"All_right_as_a_quick_recap%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>All right, as a quick recap&#8230;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should try to stick to your budget as closely as you can, you\u2019ll thank yourself later. Use your time wisely when you\u2019re at the grocery store, because as students, our free time is limited, and I\u2019m sure you would much rather spend time doing what you love instead of perusing the aisles of your local grocery store. Lastly, be sure to enjoy yourself. Eat your favorite dessert. Call your family. Go out to dinner with your classmates when you all need a study break. Food is not just something you need to keep your body going, but with the experience of food and sharing a meal with others, it can really help your mental health as well.&nbsp;<em>Bon appetit<\/em>!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Shane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Shane is a 2nd&nbsp;year medical student at the&nbsp;<\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/lecom.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine<\/a><\/em><em>&nbsp;in Erie, PA.
