Food Prep: The Rule of 3's

You’ve got to have foods on hand that support what you’re working on if you want to succeed.

If your goal is to be more consistent > you eat within certain parameters (macros) > if you want to eat within range of your macro goals routinely > you have to pre-log and plan ahead > the easiest way to know what you’re going to eat later in the day is to buy the foods you plan to eat.

Role with the Rule of 3 the next time you’re getting groceries and then just mix and match throughout the week:

  • 3 different proteins (chicken, pork loin, lean ground beef)

  • 3 different starches (potatoes, rice, oatmeal)

  • 3 different veggies (asparagus, green beans, bell pepper)

  • 3 different fruits (apples, grapes, strawberries)

  • 3 different fats (avocado, olive oil, bacon)
