Step 2: Plan
This is your launchpad. Meal planning
doesn’t have to be complicated. Pick a
realistic planning day—Sunday works
for many, but any day is fine. Even 15
minutes helps.
Start with one mealtime, ideally the one
you struggle with most. If dinner’s your
challenge, plan those first, then move
onto lunch or breakfast.
Keep it simple: batch-cook full meals
like pasta bake, curry or a traybake that
lasts a few days, or freeze portions for
later. Prefer variety? Cook single
ingredients—roast veggies, grill
chicken, cook quinoa—and mix and
match through the week.
The key to staying full and energised?
Cover these four essentials:
Protein (chicken, tofu, fish)
Fibre (veggies, legumes)
Healthy fats (avocado, olive oil,
seeds)
Complex carbs (quinoa, brown rice,
sweet potato, lentil pasta)
Hit those four basics, and you’ll stay
full, focused, and out of the pantry.
