Meal plans are just one of the tools dietitians have in their toolkit to help you create a balanced diet. Dietitians will always be guided by their patients, so if you’re after a meal plan, your dietitian will certainly provide you with one. However these will never be forced upon you. In fact, contrary to popular belief, dietitians don’t always like meal plans. We love giving our patients the tools they need to create a well balanced and sustainable diet that works for them well beyond the timeframe of a usual meal plan.
