Protein — the one thing everyone seems to struggle with, yet sometimes it can literally be as simple as a f***ing sandwich 😜
I’m always on the go, I live out of my car a lot of the time, and I genuinely do not have the time to spend hours meal prepping. My day definitely doesn’t look like a fitness influencer’s “what I eat in a day” either.
Today was two meals that took about 5–10 minutes, very little effort, very little skill, and one meal I’d made the night before that fed the whole family.
My shopping list usually looks something like this:
* chicken breasts, mince, steak, eggs 🥚
* bagels, bread, wraps, micro rice 🥯
* cheese, salad, veg and fruit 🧀
As a family we love burgers, steak, fajitas, pasta… and that doesn’t suddenly change because I have calories to work with and protein to hit.
That’s the bit people overcomplicate. The more you try to completely change the way you eat, the harder it is to stick to.
Keep the foods you already enjoy. Keep eating with your family. Just tweak the portions, build your meals around a decent protein source and be generous with it.
That way, even when you’re not dieting, your food doesn’t suddenly look completely different.
