  • ALWAYS check your kitchen before you make your grocery list. The one shared is the best estimate for what you’ll need, but double check! If you already have something, there is no need to buy more. Use what you have first to eliminate wasting PLUS it keeps your grocery bills lower!
  • This meal plan is made to feed 2 people and is not set in stone.
  • If you have extra veggies in your fridge or if there is a sale on a different veggie, you may substitute where you feel necessary.
  • I always have greens (spinach, iceberg lettuce and kale) in the fridge. If there is not enough leftovers, my go-to is alway salads.
  • You may rearrange your meals. I like to have my most calorie dense meal during the day (lunch) and a lighter meal in the evenings. I also know coaches make a big meal on Sunday night while they prep and use the leftovers on Monday, saving their OUT meal for Friday/Saturday night.
  • On Sunday’s I typically prepare meal components (cut/cooked veggies, cook grains, bake fish) and snacks – but leave full meals to be made fresh each day.
  • When I get my fruits and veggies home, I will wash them and prep them the best I can for meals (even if not cooking that day).
  • ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS wash your fruits and veggies! Doing it as soon as you get home saves time when you’re in a rush during the week. If I get fruits that can be portioned out I will put them in containers or baggies after washing. I also like to display fruits and veggies in the fridge so they are tempting tot grab and go – instead of being stuck in a crisper drawer.
  • If I notice my fruit or veggies are going back, I will either eat them sooner than my meal plan has scheduled or I will place them in the freezer and plan for them in the following week’s meal plan OR for use in a morning shake. Frozen fruit is a great addition to shakes!
