Even though each day is scheduled for a specific meal, we will be flexible on changing days around during the week. Sometimes real life happens and I forget to soak the beans, thaw the meat, or make the granola when I should. And sometimes another meal sounds better than the one planned for that day. As long as we stick to eating these meals during the week they are planned, there should be no waste.

At least, that's the plan.☺
