How to Create a Simple Holiday Meal Plan (So You Can Actually Enjoy December)

You're staring at your fridge with no idea what to eat today. You had big plans to meal prep this week (you even bought all the ingredients!) but now you're overwhelmed, there are Christmas cookies everywhere, and you just want to make it through the next two weeks without losing control.

Here's the truth: You don't need an elaborate meal plan or hours of meal prep. You need five minutes a day and a simple strategy that actually fits your chaotic December schedule.

In this episode, I'm showing you exactly how I meal plan during the holidays (it only takes five minutes and involves writing five letters in a notebook), why keeping the same breakfast and lunch every day is actually brilliant, and the one mindset shift that lets you enjoy Christmas cookies without eating all of them.

You'll learn the simple B-L-S-D-D method for daily meal planning, how to match your food to your actual activity level (not what you think you "should" eat), why buying soup instead of making it is a smart move right now, the secret to eating one or two cookies instead of the entire plate, and what to do when you eat more treats than you planned (hint: it's not starting over tomorrow).

I'm sharing real examples from my own week, including exactly what my five-minute meal plan looks like, how I handle Christmas cookies at work without obsessing over them all day, and why planning your treats actually gives them less power over you.

If you've been over-complicating meal planning, skipping meals because you're "too busy," or feeling out of control around holiday treats, this episode will simplify everything and help you feel steady through the rest of December.

Want me to create your personalized 2-week holiday plan? If you are listening live in 2025 I will create a custom plan just for you. Not a template or generic PDF, a simple plan built specifically for your life right now.

You'll get a realistic movement plan, simple food anchors, a strategy for holiday treats and meals, what to do if you get off track, and email and text support for the next two weeks.
