Meal Plan 5.19.2024
Please note that this is personalized to my macro intake and energy output. I am so much more rested this week and it feels great1 my energy levels are pretty stable and I can give better to the people and things that require my attention. I'm gonna continue this train of creating basic meals plan I could can without compromising my nutrition. This looks like eating more raw fruits and veggies, meals in under 15 minutes and grab and go items. The key to meal planning is taking your favorite meals and elevating them. Swapping out items for healthier versions and appreciating the difference it makes. The goal is still to consume the same amount of protein and add veggies to every meal.
Last week, I watched this reel about Mark Zuckerberg famous “grey t-shirt and jeans” and it’s connection to the greatness of Facebook. In short, Mark preferred to wear the same — or similar — clothing as a means of keeping his mind clear. For him, instead of expending energy on what shirt to wear, he was able to delegate that energy to other tasks like the development of Facebook. I share that because I want you to consider doing the same. Simplify your eating, don’t go for complicated recipes, instead, keep things simple so you can have energy for other areas in your life. The process of healthy living should not burn you out but give you the energy to be strong in other areas too.
