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?
