Whether you're aiming to lose fat, build muscle, or just feel better, we’ll help you ditch the overwhelm and take control of your eating habits. Get expert support that fits your lifestyle. Contact Jensen Fitness today to build a custom nutrition plan that works. 

Why Meal Prep Works (But Is So Hard to Stick To) 

Let’s be honest; meal prep sounds great in theory. But between work, family, and trying to have a life, it’s easy to fall back into old habits when there’s nothing ready to eat. That’s when you end up grabbing fast food, skipping meals, or eating whatever’s quick. 

The reality? Meal prep only works if it’s realistic. It has to match your lifestyle, your cooking skills, and your actual time availability. That’s why so many people struggle. The good news? You don’t have to figure it out alone. 

At Jensen Fitness, our registered dietitian builds customized meal plans that not only support your fitness goals but also make meal prep feel less overwhelming and more effective. 

Start with a Plan That’s Built for You 

The biggest mistake people make with meal prep? Trying to follow someone else’s plan. Your body, goals, and schedule are different. That’s why our nutrition coaching starts with a full consultation to understand: 

  • Your health goals (fat loss, muscle gain, energy, etc.) 
  • Your daily routine and schedule 
  • What you like (and hate) eating 
  • How confident you are in the kitchen 

From there, our dietitian builds a personalized strategy that fits your life. Whether that’s batch cooking for the week or just prepping a few key staples, your plan is designed to be sustainable, not stressful. 

Make Prep Work for Your Schedule 

You don’t need to spend your entire Sunday cooking 21 perfectly portioned meals. In fact, most of our clients don’t. 

Our nutrition coaching teaches you how to: 

  • Prep 2–3 base ingredients you can mix and match 
  • Make double portions of dinner to use as lunch 
  • Build balanced meals in 5 minutes using smart grocery staples 
  • Know exactly what to eat to stay on track—even when you don’t prep at all 

We focus on real-life strategies that keep you consistent, not perfect. 

Track What’s Working with Fit3D Body Scans 

When your nutrition is aligned with your training, your body starts to change in ways that go beyond the scale. At Jensen Fitness, we use the Fit3D body scanner to measure your fat mass, lean muscle, posture, and progress over time. 

These scans help our team fine-tune your plan and give you visual proof that your effort is paying off, even when the scale stalls. It’s one of the most powerful tools we offer to keep you motivated and focused. 

Why a Registered Dietitian Makes All the Difference 

You can find thousands of free meal prep tips online, but they don’t know your body. They don’t understand your goals. And they won’t check in when you fall off track. 

That’s what makes our nutrition coaching different. Our registered dietitian isn’t just giving you a plan; they’re partnering with you to make sure it works. From navigating cravings to adjusting macros, they’re there to support, educate, and guide you through real change. 

You’ll finally stop guessing and start eating in a way that supports your lifestyle, not works against it.
