How far in advance do you plan your meals ?

A friend of mine has a monthly menu which she sticks to religiously, personally I have a rough plan of our main meals Monday to Friday but will quite happily abandon it for a spontaneous plate of Fish and Chips or a meal out if the opportunity arises
 

We plan more for our dogs meals than we do for our own and since my man eats far more meat than I do, he usually plans one evening meal but not always. Occasionally I like to plan meals if I have a craving for something special but otherwise I just wing it. I’m retired.
I don’t plan much of anything and I prefer it that way. 🥰

This. I’m always surprised when it’s 4:30 and realize we have to eat again. We eat at 5:30.

I have a diary of what the meal was and sometimes what I plan for a few days. The diary is because of leftovers. ‘Oh, that thing at the back of fridge was five days ago, guess I can toss that.’

When the teens were at home, I’d put up a plan for up to two weeks. They loved to look at it.
 
I have a weekly schedule and eat the same thing every Monday, Tuesday etc. It's makes food shopping easier if you know what you are eating. Sometimes I will deviate if I'm feeling like a wild and crazy guy.
 
Anywhere from 3 seconds to 5 minutes.
Sometimes, I'll plan to eat something & after a couple of bites, say "Yuk....I don't want this."
But that never happens with anything sweet.
