1Set Your Weekly Macro Targets

Open FitFlow and review your daily macro goals. Multiply by 7 to get weekly targets for protein, carbs, and fat.

2Plan 3-4 Base Meals

Design 3-4 simple meals that meet your macro targets. Keep recipes simple with 5-7 ingredients each.

3Create a Shopping List

List all ingredients and quantities. Buy in bulk for proteins, grains, and frozen vegetables to save money.

4Batch Cook Proteins and Grains

Cook 2-3 protein sources (chicken, ground turkey, eggs) and 2 carb sources (rice, sweet potatoes) in one session.

5Portion into Containers

Divide cooked food into individual meal containers. Weigh portions for accuracy and scan with FitFlow to pre-log.

6Store and Reheat Safely

Refrigerate meals for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat to 165°F for food safety.

Pro Tips

  • Dedicate 2-3 hours on Sunday for the entire week
  • Invest in quality glass meal prep containers
  • Cook proteins to 90% doneness so they are not dry when reheated
