Controversial info onboard! This month, we’re going to try to focus on keeping things as SIMPLE as possible to help you stay on track with your goals in 2022. Today we want to talk about your meals, because a lot of people think that the more complicated, and “fancy” their nutrition is, the better.
Here’s one GREAT way to keep it simple: Come up with a “food formula” that works for you, that includes meals that
- you love,
- are simple and easy to throw together, and
- align with your health & wellness goals
And simply rotate meals that follow that formula throughout the week!
You don’t have to create something new every day when you eat or try to be creative all the time.
Having a go-to formula works in several different ways:
- It simplifies your shopping and food prep.
- It removes “decision fatigue,” which can happen when you’re forced to make choices all day long. The more decisions you make, the harder it becomes to make good ones!
- It helps stop that overwhelmed feeling you can get when you’re wondering whether your choices are “right” or “wrong” or “good” or “bad.”
- It saves you time and energy and can actually help you stay on track.
This works whether you’re prepping meals for yourself or a houseful of picky eaters. It’s SUCH a relief NOT to have the “what’s for dinner” question hanging over your head every day.
Do you have a list of go-to recipes that you eat on a regular basis? What are some of your favorites? Hope this helps make your meal planning a little easier.
