Truth is, I don’t actualy plan my meals…
I just have a repeatable process for most of my meals, and then get a bit more adventurous for my picky teas at the weekend..
The key for me is eating food that keeps me full, gives me energy, and doesn’t leave me finishing all of the kids leftovers..
So here’s what I do:
– Stick to the same 3–5 easy meals I actually like and kids like : Omelettes, Tuna pasta, Tuna jacket potato and sweetcorn (make more veggies or salad), pasta and meatballs (I often use red lentil pasta)
– Use my go-to “meal maker” formula (fist sized protein, as much veg as you like, fist sized carb, thumb sized fat)
– Keep the freezer full of the basics (like peas and perhaps steam bags)
– Repeat. You don’t have to eat crazy, different meals all of the time
– And always… always…keep an emergency tin of mackerel handy
That’s it. No fancy plans. Just a simple structure I can freestyle with.
If you’re in the 28-Day Kickstart, don’t forget to use the Meal Maker and Food Combination plan I sent in the Q and A this week — they’ll save you a ton of time (and decision fatigue).
Not in the Kickstart yet?
Message me and I’ll send you the details — before I start writing a “52 ways with mackerel” recipe book…
