EP 497 // Back To School Meal Planning f...

CHELSI JO
About this episode

Your meals matter just as much as your kids’ do—especially when you're juggling fitness goals, school routines, and work all at once. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how I planned out my entire school-year meal system, starting with my own needs and building out from there.

We’ll talk about how to: – Set up a weekly meal plan that fuels your body and protects your time – Adapt your dinners to the realities of your new school schedule – Get your kids involved in lunchbox planning (and actually finish the grocery list for you!)

This is the system that keeps our fridge stocked, our meals on track, and our family routines running strong—even when the calendar feels full.

Let’s dive in and get your meal plans working for you this school year.

xoxo, Chelsi Jo
