Looking for Help With Healthy Meal Prep & Calorie Guidance Hi, I’m looking for someone with experience in healthy meal preparation and nutrition to help guide me with my meals. I’m currently on a weight-loss journey and have already lost 48 kg, which I’m very proud of. I’ve worked out my daily calorie intake, protein, fats and general dietary goals, but I still find the whole calorie-deficit side of things a little confusing at times. I’m mainly looking for someone who can sit down with me and show me how to: * Plan and prepare healthy meals for the week * Work out sensible portion sizes * Understand how to stay within my daily calories * Balance protein, carbohydrates and fats * Make meal prep simple and practical * Show me what foods and meals will keep me fuller while still supporting my weight-loss goals I’m not looking for a crash diet or anything extreme. I’ve already made great progress and simply want some practical guidance so I can understand what I’m doing and continue in the right direction. Ideally, I’d like someone with experience in nutrition, fitness, healthy cooking or meal preparation who is patient and happy to actually teach me, rather than just prepare the food for me.
