If deciding what to cook every night is exhausting, stop planning 21 completely different meals.

Meal planning doesn't have to mean inventing a brand-new dinner every night.

Try building around a small number of repeatable meal structures:

1️⃣ Protein + grain + vegetable
2️⃣ Protein + potato + vegetable
3️⃣ Eggs + toast + fruit
4️⃣ Bean/lentil bowl + toppings
5️⃣ Yogurt/oats/fruit breakfast

Change the ingredients.

Keep the structure.

That makes meal planning much easier to repeat.

What's your "I don't know what to cook" meal?
