HOW TO MEAL-PLAN WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND
Ok, so now that you know that meal planning is good for your wallet as well as your waistline (see our last blog), you may feel fired up to plan. Or at the very least feel like you should start.
The problem is usually feeling like you don’t know how, don’t have time, or are too busy and tired to get organized.
Well I was very fortunate to discover an APP this weekend (thanks to one of our awesome members), and I have to say it’s already been a real game changer.
So here is an official IRON SOUL recommendation:
MEALIME is a free app that helps you build meal plans for the week, and then generates grocery lists so you don't have to waste time and energy figuring out everything you need for the week.
They do have a PRO option which I purchased for $2.99 per month because it allows you to:
see comprehensive nutrition information
set calorie filters
get access to all the recipes on the app
We chose PRO because it makes it easy for us to know the meals we choose are hitting the right targets for both our goals (Brent’s =400lbs back squat/mine = getting more definition in my abs again) .
I highly recommend you download this app right now! It asks you about your likes and dislikes so the recipes it generates for you are ones you'd actually enjoy! PLUS food waste is lower because you won't buy too much and end up throwing it out thanks to the comprehensive grocery list! THAT is music to our inflated ears.
