Meal prep gets sold as heroic Sunday batch-cooking, and for some people that's perfect. For everyone else it's exactly why they quit — six hours and fourteen identical containers is a big ask. The version that actually sticks is lighter: decide the meals, shop once, and prep the bits that save you time (the proteins, the grains) rather than every single thing.
This planner builds a plan around your targets and hands you a single shopping list, so the prep is decided before you're stood in the kitchen wondering what to make. Set your diet and calories and just try it. The best prep routine is the one that survives a busy Wednesday — not the most Instagrammable one.
