Are family meals and meal planning worth the investment?
Yes! The benefits of family meals for children extend well beyond nutrition. Regular family meals have been shown to reduce depression risk, strengthen family bonds, reduce risky behaviors in teens, improve communication skills, reduce screen time, improve academic performance, and more.

Family meals and meal planning often go hand in hand. As a parent, the words “meal planning” are associated with well-intentioned efforts that often fall short—spending a small fortune on groceries only to have them end up in the garbage, just beneath the take-out containers. But as a registered dietitian, meal planning takes on a whole new meaning. It becomes about quality time with family, eating nutritiously, and investing effort in what really matters in life—good health and the people you love. I have developed an approach to family meals that supports more meals together while acknowledging the everyday challenges of life—because a plan is only as good as your likelihood of actually following through with it.
