Let's chat about how Intuitive Eating and meal planning can co-exist!
A common misconception about Intuitive Eating is that you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Meal planning allows you to add some structure to your meals and meal schedule to help you to nourish your body the way you want, without being too rigid.
