Planning out your meals are a sure fire way to hit your macros, save money AND see big results. I didn’t grow up eating dinner around the table at home. In fact, most nights my *single* mama would call me on her way home from work and ask if I wanted Taco Bell or Burger King. We’d eat our meals in the car on the way to volleyball practice. Don’t feel bad for me. I LOVED it and still have deep nostalgia for a crunch wrap supreme. I also think it shaped who I am today. You can read more about my personal family story HERE.
Learning to LOVE cooking has been a hard fought battle that I celebrate. The truth is, the majority of American families eat out of the drive thru because of convenience but HEAR THIS, there is a definite correlation between America’s health problems and our drive thru culture that we have to intentionally fight against EVERYDAY.
I knew I wanted something different for my kids. I wanted my kids to learn that cooking their own meals at home would be essential for their overall health, BUT I HATED cooking. I didn’t feel good at it. I didn’t want to spend all of this effort cooking and cleaning for meals that didn’t taste good and/or had little nutritional value.
Head Chef, Krista has REVOLUTIONIZED this process for me and so many others here at Stay Fit Mom. She turns high fat/ high carb comfort food classics into delicious macro balanced meals. There is no better feeling than knowing I’m laying the foundation for healthy habits while exposing my kids to a variety of flavors and ingredients EVEN WHEN THEY DON’T EAT IT. Yes, you read that right. As delicious as Krista’s recipes are, my kids can still be picky, but I REFUSE to give them the option between home cooked SFM Spaghetti Casserole and Pizza Hut. If they aren’t up for eating what I’m cooking, they can choose a PB & J or grilled chicken.
