Easy for the Exasperated: Simple Meal Plan - 5 Weekdays, 3 Sizes, 0 Decisions
A scripted Monday–Friday meal plan that eliminates the daily "what do I eat" decision. Same meals each week by design — that's the point, not a flaw. Cook each meal when it's time, no Sunday batch cooking required.
What's included:
• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner mapped out for each weekday
• 3 portion sizes (Light / Standard / Large) — pick your track
• Weekly shopping list with perishable and pantry items separated
• Ingredient swap chart for proteins, carbs, and vegetables
• Basic cooking instructions for every ingredient used
• Visual portion guide — no food scale needed
• Weekend guidance — follow loosely, order out, or prep for Monday
• Fridge-ready quick reference card — one page, all meals at a glance
• Editable Word files included
The Monday rule: miss a day, just resume with the next. Fall off entirely, restart Monday. No guilt, no backtracking. 4–5 days on = great. 2–3 days = still better than decision fatigue.
Not a diet plan. Not customized for allergies. Not a variety plan — repetition is the whole strategy.
