Quick, simple meal planning tip for marathoners

Written By Britney Giles

I don’t like it, but I gotta do it.

Because when I don’t, it becomes a scramble to figure out what to eat, sometimes resulting in takeout that I really didn’t want to spend money & my goals on.

Everyone does it in their own way, but here’s one meal planning tip that works for me:

  1. Keep a running list of go-to, simple, tasty meals.

  2. Plan them out on Google Calendar (or handwritten, if you prefer).

  3. Block out time on your calendar for prep time (cooking meat, prepping rice, chopping veggies, etc.)

  4. Stick to the schedule, or make adjustments.

Need more meal planning tips? We have a whole video section on meal planning in our Essential Marathon Fueling Course. We also have a recipe eBook with 60+ SIMPLE recipes for only $12.99 with an included “Meal Prep Made Easy Guide”. This can be added on to the course, but is also available separately.
