Portioning the right amount of food for your meals is one of the easiest ways to avoid food waste. Leftover ingredients or meals can always find a happy home in another dish.

We would always recommend making double and freezing half to make your food and money go further.

A quick guide to meal planning:

• plan 3 to 4 days ahead
• check your fridge and cupboards to see what needs eating up
• choose what you want to eat, we are lucky to live in a world full of recipes
• choose dishes that have some common ingredients
• eating seasonally will keep costs down
• use a simple meal planner to help track your food, map out which meals you will have when
• make a list of what you need for the meals, crossing off what you already have at home
• where possible, cook double and eat half later in the week (or freeze it)
