How Link2Eat Simplifies Weekly Cooking

If you ask yourself “what should I cook tonight?” almost every day, the real issue is not motivation. The issue is process. A simple meal planning routine with a clear weekly menu and grocery list removes daily chaos and helps you spend less on food.

Link2Eat makes this process practical in Telegram: pick meals, build a shopping list, and keep your plan where you already chat.

Core idea: you do not need a perfect diet. You need a repeatable system you can run every week.

Why meal planning usually fails

Most people fail for predictable reasons:

• Planning is too ambitious for a work week.
• Recipe ideas are disconnected from actual groceries.
• There is no fallback for low-energy evenings.

When the system creates too much friction, it is abandoned.

A weekly menu template that works

Use this lightweight structure:

1. Choose 3-4 main meals for weekdays.
2. Add 2 quick backup dinners.
3. Keep one flexible day for leftovers or delivery.
4. Build one categorized grocery list.
