Hey there reader!
When it comes to eating healthier and losing weight, meal prep is my number one piece of advice.
Seriously, I believe it's the most crucial habit you can adopt. It's the only way to guarantee healthy food is readily available all week.
🛑 But before you dive into meal prep, you need to create a meal plan. And not just any meal plan—it should be tailored to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Think of it as your food roadmap, providing structure and direction for success.
Here are my top tips for putting together a meal plan that will support your weight loss journey:
1️⃣ Determine your caloric needs: Figure out the number of calories or other nutritional measurements you should be aiming for. Staying within these limits is essential to reach your weight loss goals; meal planning and prep help with that. I recommend using My Fitness Pal to figure out your daily caloric needs.
2️⃣ Set realistic weight loss goals: It's important to set achievable and healthy expectations for weight loss. Generally, a healthy rate of weight loss is about 1-2 pounds per week. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!
3️⃣ Create a list of healthy recipes: Make a list of meals for each day of the week, including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. I recommend keeping it simple and not overwhelming yourself with 15 new recipes weekly. Instead, make healthy modifications to your family favorites. For example, you can swap ground turkey for beef in tacos.
🎉 And guess what? The Reset & Flourish Planner has over 400++ healthy, clean eating recipes for you to choose from, with complete nutritional information calculated using My Fitness Pal.
4️⃣ Go grocery shopping: Based on your meal plan, create a grocery list and try to do your shopping 1-2 days before your meal prep day. It can be overwhelming and exhausting to both grocery shop and prep on the same day, which might discourage you from sticking with it.
📝 The Reset & Flourish Planner auto-generates shopping lists for you, making it super easy to print and go!
5️⃣ Save meal plans and shopping lists: Having ready-made meal plans and shopping lists makes it easier to stick with the meal planning and prep habit.
👉 You can create, save, download, and even print out all of the Reset & Flourish Meal Plans, including the ones I put together for you.
6️⃣ Track your progress: Using a tool like My Fitness Pal to track your nutrition, exercise, and caloric intake is helpful. You can adjust your meal plan if you do not see the desired results. It might involve reducing overall calories, switching to foods with less sugar and carbs, or increasing protein.
✅ Remember, the best meal plan is the one you can stick with. So, ensure that it's realistic, fits your lifestyle, and includes foods you and your family enjoy eating.
With the Reset & Flourish Planner, you can easily create healthy meal plans for weight loss or use the ones I've already created for you!
