I think adjusting portions is easier than completely changing the meal plan every time my routine changes

I keep my main meals the same and increase or decrease portions depending on how much energy I need

When I have a less active week I naturally need less food so I reduce portions slightly

I think hunger can be useful feedback but I would not rely on hunger alone when changing a meal plan

I look at my daily movement gym sessions and overall routine before deciding whether my meals need adjusting
