Meal prep sounds simple until you’re dealing with rotating shifts, fatigue, overtime, and missed breaks.

This is where most plans fall apart.

In this episode:

•  Why meal prep becomes overwhelming on shifts 
•  Why calorie counting and strict plans fail

•  The Three Times Six Plus Six method 
•  Why snacks matter more than you think
