Sign up below to receive your free PDF copy of Eleven Easy Meal Templates. Save time, reduce food waste, and improve your kitchen skills by using meal templates for your weekday cooking.
Meal templates are flexible frameworks that allow you to change the flavors and textures of a meal without adding additional prep time. Instead of locking you in to one specific list of ingredients, meal templates just give the gist of what to use. The exact ingredients and amounts are left up to you. This means you can make two or more completely different meals using the exact same preparation method.
The problem with recipes is they’re often too lengthy and too specific for your daily needs. It’s intimidating and frustrating to learn a bunch of fancy cooking techniques and waste money on spices that will sit unused in your pantry for the next 6 months. After all that work, you may not even like the meal you prepared!
Meal templates provide the ideal solution to these problems. Most templates rely on the same handful of basic cooking skills, which means even the most inexperienced cooks can figure them out. And because you can use just about any ingredients when making templates, there’s no need to buy foods you don’t like and won’t use.
Since I first lost weight and got in shape, meal templates have been the secret weapon that’s allowed me to eat healthy in less time and for less money. I put together this guide with my personal favorite templates to help other busy people experience similar wins in the kitchen.

Why Should You Listen to Me?
These days, my ability to quickly prepare tasty, healthy meals is one of my greatest fitness superpowers. But this wasn’t always the case. For many years, I was overweight and out of shape. I had no idea how to cook anything beyond frozen pizza and easy mac.
It took a major health scare to inspire me to make changes to my lifestyle. I realized I needed to learn how to cook if I wanted to take control of my eating. This was not an easy process, and I felt completely out of my element. I can’t even tell you how many times I burned, undercooked, over seasoned, or otherwise ruined a perfectly good meal. I often threw out perfectly good produce because I didn’t understand how to use up what I bought.
Because I once struggled so much in the kitchen, I can relate to those of you struggling now. I know how hard it is to come up with ideas for healthy meals that actually taste good. And I sympathize with the need to save time. I rarely have more than 2.5 hours between when I get home from work and when I go to bed. In that time, I manage to make dinner for two and make my two of my own meals for the next day. Without meal templates, this would not be possible.
Additionally, I have more than six years of in-the-trenches coaching experience. I’ve spent thousands of hours working with hundreds of clients. For many of my clients, cooking was one of the biggest obstacles to achieving their health and fitness goals. I’ve found that using templates, such as the ones included here, give people the tools they need to finally be successful in the kitchen.
