As the summer begins to wind down and folks head back into a "typical" routine, a topic that comes up a lot amongst our members is about meal planning and prepping. While the term "meal plan" can conjure up images and strong emotions about lists of "eat this and not that" and bland chicken breasts and steamed broccoli, we prefer to guide our members with simplifying this process and creating autonomy and independence with the practice.

The main goal of meal planning and then prepping is to ensure you have the meals you need for the week right at your fingertips which helps to prevent the “what’s for dinner (breakfast/lunch)?” decision making battle and paralysis each day.

While some instagram and pinterest accounts provide ideas for fancy and complicated meals with multiple ingredients, here at Straight Up Strong we aim to keep nutrition straight up simple.

In the video below, Coach Michelle went live on instagram and walked us through an overview of her process when planning her menu for the upcoming week!
