About this listen

January is hectic, decision fatigue is real, and eating well can start to feel exhausting.

In this episode, Leanne and Susie break down meal prep that actually works in real life, the sneaky way fries creep into your week, and what to order when fast food is the only option.

No extremes. No guilt. Just systems that make healthy eating easier in 2026.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The simplest meal prep system to save time and mental load (without cooking every meal)

  • The best foods to batch prep and what not to prep because it turns soggy

  • Why convenience foods are not “cutting corners” and how to drop the guilt

  • How long common prepped foods actually last in the fridge and freezer

  • Freezer hacks that reduce waste and stop boredom

  • The “Fry Creep” problem, how many fries is really a serve, and the once-a-week rule

  • Leanne’s fry quality filter and how to enjoy chips without overdoing it

  • A new freezer-friendly, high-protein seafood option for busy nights

  • Smarter picks at Maccas, KFC, and Subway when you need something fast

This episode is perfect if you want to eat well this year without burnout, perfectionism, or overthinking every meal.
