3 Go-To Meals I Have On Repeat…

What if I told you that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated or take up hours of your time?

I get it—nutrition advice is everywhere, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the noise. But after years of coaching midlife women to feel stronger, more energised, and confident in their bodies…

I’ve learned that keeping it simple is the key to making it all work.

Here are a few of my go-to strategies to make nutrition feel simple and achievable, even when life gets busy:

1. Follow the “Plate Method.”
Forget calorie counting—this method makes balanced eating effortless:
✔️ Fill half your plate with colourful veggies
✔️ A quarter with quality protein
✔️ The last quarter with a healthy carb
✔️ Add a drizzle of healthy fats like olive oil or some avocado

It’s flexible, easy to customise, and works whether you’re meal-prepping or grabbing something on the go!

2. Keep 3-5 Go-To Meals on Rotation.
When time is short and hunger hits, having a few simple meals ready to go keeps you from reaching for whatever’s easiest.

For me, that looks like:
🥚 Veggie-packed omelet with a side of berries for breakfast
🥗 Quick salad with pre-cooked protein and a homemade balsamic dressing
🥤 Protein smoothie loaded with greens, nut butter, and frozen berries

Find what works for you, and make it effortless!

3. Batch-Prep the Basics.
Not a fan of big meal prep sessions? No problem. Just prepping a few essentials—like roasting a tray of veggies or cooking a batch of brown rice—can save so much time during the week.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s about making healthy eating fit your life, not the other way around.
