Notion can be used for many things. You can use it as a notebook, manage your tasks, build and structure your projects, even manage an entire company in it, organizing all the processes and procedures of each employee.

Besides all this work-specific stuff, you can of course use Notion for your personal purposes as well. This includes simple things like planning your meals appropriately.

There are studies that show that people who plan their meals live healthier and less stressful lives (see Ducrot et al. 2017).

There are two main reasons for this:

you have an overview of what you're eating, so you automatically pay attention to whether you're getting enough important nutrients. In other words, you have a healthier diet.
we are forced to make a new decision every day about what we should eat. Once we have to make a decision, we are often overwhelmed because we are confronted with ambiguity. One avoids such stress-inducing ambiguity in decision-making by making the decision several days in advance.

Therefore: So there are good reasons to plan your meals. Are you wondering how to put it into practice?

A meal planner template for notion might help: I have created a template that serves exactly this purpose. The Simple Meal Planner template includes:

a weekly view in which you can drag and drop your meals
meals database with categories and ingredients linked to shopping list
shopping list database linked to meals
ressources database
