When I was trying to lose weight postpartum, even as a personal trainer and nutrition coach I found meal planning to be the biggest struggle. Not because I didn't know what foods were good for fat loss - but because kids are fussy and time is short.
I needed meals that I could put on the table within 20 minutes, even with a new born strapped to my chest screaming her lungs out. I needed meals that my 12 year old step daughter would eat and meals that met my nutrition and fat loss goals.
So I found them, and then I put them into an easy to follow format that meant I didn't need to calculate my calories, weigh my food or spend hours hopping from grocery store to expensive health food store trying to find magic fat loss ingredients.
These are the exact meal plans I used to drop 4 dress sizes in 8 weeks after having my daughter. It's also the same example food structure my clients followed to get results like this:



Calculating calories
Weighing food
Spending a fortune on "health" foods
Overthinking every meal
Eat the same meal as your family
Control portions without having to whip scales out
Use simple, easy to find and affordable ingredients from your local coles and woolies
Stop stressing about what to make for dinner (or any meal for that matter)
3 days worth fo example meal plans (+ Bonus day of eating)
Simple recipes your kids will actually eat
Fat loss friendly meals and snacks made with everyday ingredients
