9 Tips for Minimalist Meal Prep When You're Too Busy to Cook (Ep 57)

Coaching Corner

Do you struggle to eat healthy when life gets hectic? In this episode of the Coaching Corner podcast, I share my top minimalist meal prep strategies to help you stay on track with your nutrition—even during your busiest weeks.

As a personal trainer, I know how overwhelming traditional meal prep can be. That’s why I focus on simple, time-saving tips using grocery store staples like rotisserie chicken, salad kits, microwavable grains, steamable veggies, canned beans, tuna packets, and frozen meals. I also share high-protein snack ideas like Greek yogurt, jerky, protein bars, and hard-boiled eggs that keep you fueled on the go.

Plus, I cover how to balance convenience with fresh foods, stay mindful of sodium intake, and still build meals that support your goals—whether it’s fat loss, muscle gain, or just feeling better overall.

👉 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• 9 minimalist meal prep tips that work
• My favorite healthy grocery store shortcuts
• Quick snack ideas that don’t require cooking
• How to save time without sacrificing nutrition
• A simple mindset shift to make meal prep sustainable

🎯 Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent, or just someone trying to eat better without the stress, this episode is packed with practical nutrition hacks you can start using today.
