This lesson from Yale's Low-Cost, High-Nutrition Eating for Graduate and Professional Students course, taught by Dr. Nate Wood, focuses on meal planning as a way to save both time and money. Wood offers strategies for mapping out meals in advance so that eating stays balanced and nutritious across an entire week rather than being decided meal by meal under time pressure. The lecture builds on the course's earlier lessons on nutrition basics and recipes, showing how planning ties those elements together into a workable weekly routine. It is aimed at graduate and professional students seeking a repeatable system for eating well on a limited budget.
