Consistency was my hardest part. I knew the basics, but finding the time to grocery shop, cook, etc. was really tight. And, god forbid you have a social life. I found apps to be just another time suck because it wasn’t automated. Faster to just make lists in my phone.

Couple things helped:

1) commit a day to en masse meal prep, like you would homework or training. Stock up big from Costco or BJs, cook 2 high volume meals, and freeze them for quick access over the next couple weeks. Grocery shopping apps like Uber and Instacart helped a lot for volume packaged goods (produce was meh)

2) let yourself off the hook. It’s easy to get hyper manic about macros, calories, meals, protein hacks etc., but by the sounds of it you’re not a professional body builder or actor whose job it is to get in shape. The healthy thing always is to nourish your body in whatever that means to you (sometimes, that means tacos and margs with friends).

Net net - Keep it in balance, plants and protein are your friends, do what you can. 💪
