Meal Plans – How, When, and Why to Use Them in ED Recovery

Description

In today’s episode, we’re talking all about meal plans – how, when, and why to use them in eating disorder recovery. Meal plans can be a helpful tool, but they can also bring up a lot of anxiety and resistance, so I want to break down how to approach them in a way that feels supportive, not restrictive. 

I’ll share when using a meal plan might be a good idea and how to stay flexible with food without feeling trapped by numbers or rules.

Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • Why meal plans can be useful in early recovery to create structure and consistency.
  • How to use meal plans without letting them control you or trigger old habits.
  • When to move away from a structured meal plan and listen more to your body.

Meal plans aren’t one-size-fits-all, and in recovery, they’re just a tool to help you along the way.
