3d • 3️⃣ Meal Stretching
Stretch the Meal, Not the Stress 🍲
Meal stretching isn’t about eating less.
It’s about using what you buy with intention.
If groceries feel tight right now, here’s the shift:
Instead of asking,
“How do I make this meal bigger?”
Ask,
“How can this ingredient work twice?”
Examples:
🥩 Cook once, use twice
Taco meat → tacos tonight → taco bowls or quesadillas tomorrow
🍗 Roast chicken →
Night 1: chicken + sides
Night 2: chicken wraps
Night 3: chicken soup
🍝 Pasta night →
Add beans, frozen veggies, or lentils to increase volume without increasing cost
Stretching meals is about systems: • Bulk cooking proteins
• Pairing with low-cost fillers (rice, potatoes, pasta, oats, beans)
• Planning leftovers on purpose
Let’s make this practical 👇
What’s one ingredient in your fridge right now that could turn into two meals?
Drop it below and I’ll help you stretch it.
