Meal Prep for Macro Success

Meal prep doesn't have to be complicated. A simple system for hitting your macros every day without burnout.

Meal prep is the bridge between knowing your macros and actually hitting them. Here's a simple system.

The Template Approach

Instead of following recipes, build meals from templates: 1 protein + 1 carb + 1 vegetable + 1 fat source.

Batch Cooking Basics

Cook 3–4 proteins and 2–3 carb sources on Sunday. Mix and match throughout the week for variety.

Macro-Friendly Staples

  • **Proteins**: Chicken breast, ground turkey, eggs, tofu
  • **Carbs**: Rice, sweet potato, pasta, quinoa
  • **Fats**: Olive oil, avocado, nuts, cheese
  • **Vegetables**: Broccoli, spinach, peppers, zucchini

Making It Sustainable

Prep only 4–5 days at a time. Leave weekends flexible. Use CalTrax to scan and log your prepped meals quickly.
