Fusion Hack: Don't Miss This Meal Planning Hack With Yvette Montero

Hey there, FitBody fam! This week’s episode of Fit Body Lifestyle dropped a total gem that’s going to make your meal planning so much easier—especially if you’re on a macro-focused journey. Coaches Jami, Greg, and the amazing Yvette Montero (aka macro-spert!) sat down to talk about a surprising tool that's quietly revolutionizing how athletes and everyday busy bees plan their meals…

✨ Enter: AI-powered meal planning.
Yep, that’s right—Coach Yvette is using ChatGPT (and other AI platforms like Gemini and Copilot) to take the stress and overwhelm out of figuring out what to eat to hit her (and her clients’) macros. Whether it’s planning meals around a workout, navigating restaurant menus like Buffalo Wild Wings, or just needing ideas to fill those last 12g of carbs—you can ask AI to do the heavy lifting.

The real magic? It’s not just about the tool—it’s about how you use it. The team reminds us that AI can provide incredible suggestions, but it’s up to us to trust and verify, checking those macros in MyFitnessPal or your tracker of choice. This episode blends innovation with real-life coaching wisdom, showing us how to work smarter without losing that personalized, human touch.

5 Key Takeaways

1. AI Is Your New Meal Prep Assistant
   Tools like ChatGPT can scan restaurant menus, design macro-aligned meals, and adjust to your preferences (like avoiding mushrooms or upping fiber). It's like having a nutrition assistant on demand.

2. Specific Queries = Better Results
   The more detailed you are—like including your workout timing or macro percentages—the better AI can help you structure your day. Think: “40% of my carbs pre/post-workout” instead of “what should I eat?”

3. Save Time & Mental Energy
   Say goodbye to scrolling through hundreds of items on restaurant menus or overthinking meal plans. AI helps you skip the guesswork and get right to macro-aligned options.

4. Trust, But Verify
   Always plug AI-generated meal plans into your macro tracker (like MyFitnessPal). AI is powerful, but it’s not perfect—especially with specific food data.

5. Human Coaches Still Matter
   AI is an amazing tool, but it doesn’t replace the expertise, support, and personalization of a great coach. Use it to enhance your journey—not to go it alone.
