Healthy eating gets a lot harder when every meal feels like a brand new decision.

In this episode, Morgan breaks down a simple way to create more structure in your nutrition by building “buckets” of foods you already like. Instead of trying to eat perfectly or constantly reinventing meals, she explains how to choose a few go-to proteins, carbs, vegetables, and fats that help meals feel easier, more repeatable, and more supportive of your goals.

This episode is especially helpful if you feel like your eating is too random, your meals lack structure, or you keep getting overwhelmed trying to figure out what to eat every day.
