Go-To Meals for Busy Days
Habit of The Week: 2-3 Balanced Meals Per day (Day 4 out of 7)
Daily Habit Challenge: Eat 2-3 Balanced Meals Per Day
I’m sure you’ve had plenty of those days that just feel like a blur?
Those ones where you’re running from one thing to the next (kids, work, errands) and by the time you finally stop to eat, you’re starving?
But because of the you just end up picky the quickest (usually not the healthiest) thing you can find.
That’s not a willpower problem.
That’s a decision fatigue problem.
Most women don’t struggle because they don’t know what to eat.
They struggle because every meal feels like another decision to make… and by the end of the day, they’re tired of deciding.
So they skip, grab something random, or just say “I’ll start this next week.”
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need a new meal plan.
You just need a few go-to meals that remove the thinking.
Meals that fit your life, taste good, and can be repeated without boredom.
Today’s Tip To Help You Eat 2-3 Balanced Meals Is To: Build Your “Go-To 3”
Pick three meals you can count on when life gets hectic.
Think of them as your autopilot options — balanced, easy, and satisfying.
Use this checklist when choosing them:
Takes less than 10–15 minutes to make
Includes protein, carbs, and a veggie or fruit
You actually enjoy it
Examples:
Greek yogurt, berries, and granola
Turkey and veggie wrap with a side of fruit
Chicken, rice, and roasted veggies
I know this might sound kinda boring but fancy doesn’t get you results… consistency does.
And consistency is what creates change.
Why this works
Every time you remove the “what should I eat?” question, you save mental energy.
That energy can now go toward staying consistent (not fighting guilt or decision overwhelm.)
That’s how you build momentum.
Not by being perfect.
But by having a plan for the messy days.
