Every other meal prep resource gives you someone else's plan. This prompt builds your plan — from your favorite foods, your pantry, your schedule, and your current stress load. In minutes you get a complete week of balanced meals, a targeted grocery list, and one self-care practice per day matched to your actual workload. This is not a worksheet. This is a personal nutritionist and wellness coach in your pocket — available every Sunday before your prep day.
I want you to build me a complete, personalized weekly nourishment and self-care plan.
Act as my personal nutritionist and wellness coach. Use everything I share below to create a plan that is realistic, delicious, and genuinely supportive of my health and energy this week.
MY FAVORITE WHOLE FOODS — Foods I love and will actually eat:
[List your favorite proteins, vegetables, fruits, grains, fats, and snacks]
Examples: chicken, salmon, eggs, sweet potato, spinach, avocado, berries, quinoa, almond butter, Greek yogurt...
WHAT I ALREADY HAVE ON HAND:
[List what is currently in your fridge, freezer, and pantry]
MY WEEK AT A GLANCE:
• Overall stress/energy level this week (1–10): [number + brief description]
• My busiest days: [which days need the simplest meals]
• My prep day: [day + approximate time available]
• Any dietary needs or foods to avoid: [allergies, preferences, intolerances]
• Number of people I am feeding: [just me / family of ___]
MY NOURISHMENT PRINCIPLES (apply these to every meal):
• Quality protein at every meal to stabilize blood sugar and fuel energy
• Healthy fats for brain function, hormone health, and sustained energy
• High fiber from whole vegetables, legumes, and whole grains
• Low sugar — minimize refined carbohydrates and added sugars
• Great hydration — include hydrating foods and water reminders
• Cook Once · Plate Daily — prep components that can be plated differently throughout the week
NOW BUILD MY WEEKLY PLAN — include all of the following:
1. WEEKLY MEAL PLAN
For each day Monday through Sunday, provide:
• Breakfast: simple, protein-forward, prep-friendly
• Lunch: balanced, packable or quick-assemble from prepped components
• Dinner: satisfying, whole-food, family-friendly when applicable
• Optional snack (when energy needs it): protein + fat or protein + fiber — no empty calories
On my busiest days, give me the simplest possible meals from prepped components.
Use the Cook Once · Plate Daily approach — same core ingredients plated differently across the week.
2. PREP DAY GUIDE
Tell me exactly what to prep on my prep day so the rest of the week runs on autopilot:
• What proteins to cook and how
• What vegetables to roast, steam, or chop
• What grains or bases to prepare
• What snacks or energy bites to make ahead
• Approximate total prep time
3. GROCERY LIST
Organized by store section (Produce · Protein · Grains & Pantry · Dairy/Alternatives · Other):
• Only items I need to buy — exclude what I already have on hand
• Include specific quantities where helpful
4. DAILY SELF-CARE SCHEDULE
Based on my stress level and week ahead, assign one self-care practice per day (Monday–Sunday):
• Match the intensity and type of practice to what each day actually calls for
• Include a mix of physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual practices across the 7 days
• Keep each practice achievable in 10–30 minutes
• Include a brief note on WHY this practice supports my specific stress/energy this day
Examples: morning walk, 10-min journaling, gratitude practice, call a friend, 20-min stretch, digital sunset, prayer/stillness, cold water splash, nature time, breathwork
Close with one sentence of encouragement for my week — grounded in what I shared about my stress and workload.
★ Pro Tips — Getting the Most From This Prompt
→Run this every Sunday before your prep day. It takes 5 minutes to fill in the brackets and delivers a complete week of intentional nourishment.
→Be specific about your pantry. The more detail you give about what you have on hand, the more creative and budget-friendly the plan becomes.
→Share your honest stress level. A week-10 stress plan looks very different from a week-3 plan. The AI will match the self-care practices accordingly.
→For coaches: Assign this as a weekly between-session tool for clients working through Fueled Meal Prep™. Have them bring their grocery list and self-care schedule to the next session — it becomes the most practical accountability conversation you'll have.
→Save your favorites. Once you find a week's plan that worked beautifully, save the AI output. It becomes your personal recipe library over time.
