  1. Look, meal prep doesn't need to be so macro focused. If you are trying to get healthy, just focus on caloric intake and protein portioning. That is literally it. Look up your maitence calories and try to eat about 80% off your body weight in grams of Protein.

    Everything else will help you feel better, but if it is detering you from thinking about what you eat, don't do it, stick to something simple, and then upgrade once you are in a better space.

  2. 99.9% of people won't benefit counting all their macros considering the time it takes to do so. Just get a general calorie range, assume you forgot to count some, and just eat healthier with smaller portions. As long as you maintain a slight deficit over a week youll be fine. Don't skip out on fun foods either just because of macros. Like I said aim for a weekly or even longer term defecit rather than daily. It gives you room for leeway and as long as you make it up within the week youll be fine. Also add fruits and vegetables where ever you can. Ordering a burger anyways? Might as well get onion lettuce tomatoes and pickles on it maybe some bacon and a nice sauce and skip out on the double patties.

  3. Thank you so much for the meal prep videos! So helpful and thank you for making them simple! Please keep them coming! Great job!

  4. This looks really good, you could set aside some of the sauce before marinating the chicken. Add the sauce to some cottage cheese to pour over the top really protein dense I’m gonna make this and then I’ll throw in a handful of spinach, chopped with each portion and the sauce on top.

  5. I’m all for wanting to eat delicious food, but you can manage calorie intake and food prep while having tasty food. All you do is figure out the macros and calories of the recipe you want to prep, and use that information to plan portions. Have more or less of that meal to fit your daily macros. Do the same for other meals, and have lots of foods with varying macros. Once you have that, planning daily meals is as simple as putting some legos together to make a shape. You have all the pieces and know roughly what you want it to look like.

  6. Not necessary, but do appreciate your pronunciation of cilantro. From my people to you, thanks! 😅😂

  7. I get overwhelmed at the idea of cooking alone, and you’re probably the only creator on the website that makes me feel like I can cook too 😅 you’re the goat!

  8. That looks amazing! Next time you go for it add diced Poblano to the corn salsa its the only thing you missed. Chipotle isnt the gold standard tho so im sure this would've still knocked my socks off

  9. im on a weight loss diet and im seeing good change, i eat burgers and pizza, i eat store bought chips and mochi ice cream but restaurant food is where i always cross the line bc i have no idea what goes in it, a restaurant salad can be way higher in calorie than a homemade pizza
