A simple meal formula is what you fall back on when you don’t feel like planning anything.
You already know the basics—something to fill you up, something fresh, and something to bring it all together. At this point, it’s less about structure and more about trusting what works.
That’s what makes this approach so easy to use.
Simple Meal Formula (Simple Idea)
- beans or chickpeas
- vegetables (fresh or cooked)
- grains or a base
- simple fat or seasoning
How to build it:
- Start with whatever you have
- Add a mix of beans and vegetables
- Include a base if you want something more filling
- Finish with oil or seasoning
There’s no need to get it perfect.
If it looks balanced, it probably is.
