Reducing Fast Food Consumption on Weeknights

This project aims to decrease the frequency of eating fast food on weeknights through planning, meal preparation, and effective time management. By creating a weekly menu, shopping ahead of time, utilizing a magnetic calendar, and involving family members in meal preparation, the goal is to shift towards healthier home-cooked meals. The effectiveness of these interventions will be monitored using time between charts.

  5. PDCA - PLAN PLAN Sept. 5 I had a meeting of the process owners for decreasing dining out. The process owners are my husband and our 2 sons, ages 23 and 18. They agreed they would like to have meals prepared at home and to help. My husband and older son are often home and could assist in preparation. One of the problems was they did not want to be responsible for planning a meal but would help prepare it. Another problem was knowing who would be home for dinner on what night and what time we would be home.

  6. PDCA - PLAN The planned interventions are: 1. Plan a weekly menu on Sunday 2. Shop according to the menu on Sunday 3. Buy a magnetic calendar for the refrigerator-list meals and when we would not be home 4. Prepare some meals ahead of time 5. Use the crock-pot for meal preparation when there was no one to prepare a meal that day 6. I would come home between 5-5:30PM more consistently 7. The process owners would assist as needed 8. Do storyboard

  7. PDCA - DO DO Sept. 6 1. Bought a magnetic calendar - listed menu and each process owners daily activities 2. Completed a daily routine and work routine list - there was a relationship between the number of hours I work and how tired I am. 3. Sept. 13, Added another process owner from work to actively help me leave work at 5PM. 4. Started the above plan on Sept. 7
