Meal Plan Coaching

Meal Planning

It’s is one of those crucial, make-or-break-you skills.

A well-honed meal routine keeps diet on track automatically.

Keeps costs down too!

But it’s not just about skills. It’s also about habits. And mindsets. It’s deceptively tricky to develop a meal planning routine.

Getting a personalized meal plan isn’t enough.

Our daily eating patterns are so familiar and entrenched that a whole set of new suggestions is too overwhelming. It usually short-circuits motivation in the end.

I’ve seen this so many times: I give shiny meal plan. You try one or two new things. You return to comfortable patterns.

Over the years, I’ve designed a meal planning program with my clients to address meal ideas PLUS skills, habits, and mental blocks.

Instead of drafting your meal plan for you, I partner with you to slowly and systematically incorporate meal planning into your daily life.

We will connect weekly to ‘talk shop’.

Quick, frequent, focused chats by video, phone, and text over 4 or 6 weeks will allow us to:

INCORPORATE 1-2 STANDARDIZED MEALS PER WEEK BASED ON WHAT YOU’RE ALREADY USED TO

  • focus on upgrading your current choices rather than introducing recipes that seem foreign to you

  • keep motivation engaged since it’s much easier to rise to the challenge of something you already know than complete novelty

CHECK-IN THROUGHOUT THE WEEK TO KEEP MEAL PLANNING A PRIORITY

  • identify simple things that are tripping you up in the moment, and solve them

  • stay engaged in the process of building new patterns

  • pick up healthy rules of thumb when you need to pivot

ADD-ON TO YOUR MEAL PLAN PROGRESSIVELY SO IT GROWS WITH YOUR ABILITIES

  • try on various meal plan formats: static rotations or selective plans to keep you prepared but flexible

  • sample systems of staying organized and productive

  • operationalize your time to work meal prep into your day

  • strengthen routines for shopping, chopping, prepping

Throughout this process we will experience which meals and approaches feel rewarding enough to override old and convenient habits.

We’ll learn about hidden preferences and needs to keep you comfortably on track.

The ultimate goal is not another set of recipes to follow.
It’s the establishment of automations that make meal planning happen as part of the normal rhythm of your day!
