Nutrition Basics - Meal Rotation!
Feb 09, 2022 9:15 pm
Hi !
Controversial info onboard!
This month I am focusing on keeping things SIMPLE to help you stay on track with your goals in 2022.
Today I want to talk about your MEALS … because a lot of times we’re led to believe that the more complicated and “fancy” our nutrition is, the better.
Here’s one GREAT way to keep it simple: Keep your ingredient list short. One of my fave meals is zucchini or kelp noodles with onions, garlic, peppers and sundried tomatoes. You can use olive oil or a marinara sauce!
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 do NOT have to reinvent gourmet meals every time you sit down to eat … or constantly come up with new ideas every day.
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.
Personally, it’s SUCH a relief NOT to have the “what’s for dinner” question hanging over my 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? I would love you to share!!!
