Why did I make this template?

When I lived alone, I really struggled with the logistics of meal planning but I knew that I didn't have any other option because I had dietary restrictions that made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to eat out.

It got to a point where I was so done with meal management logistics that I would just juice all my food or eat the most tasteless meals because I mostly just eat to live.

With this template, though, I think I got a glimpse of what it's like to actually enjoy your meals without having the whole process take over my life like it used to.

So, from experience, I can confidently say if you use this templates as intended, you will save so much time and money (groceries are crazy expensive these days) by putting all the logistics in one database.
