134. My Food Philosophy: How My Approach to Eating has Evolved, Grocery Budgets, & Eating Healthy

In this episode of Don't Depend on Daddy, I’m breaking down my entire food philosophy - from how I transitioned from being vegan for 9 years to reintroducing fish, to exactly how I plan, prep, and budget my meals each week. I’ll walk through my 3-2-1 grocery system, how I approach meal prepping without wasting food, and what I actually eat in a typical week as someone who values both health and balance. If you’re trying to eat healthy, save money on groceries, and stop feeling overwhelmed by meal prep - this one’s for you.Listen for:👉🏻 My plant-based to pescatarian transition👉🏻 How I plan 3 dinners, 2 lunches, and 1 breakfast each week👉🏻 Grocery budgeting tips and being an “ingredient household”👉🏻 Why I make most of my food (and bread!) from scratchGrocery Youtube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1a3rqUKf2o&t=92sTIMESTAMPS: 00:00 – Intro + Welcome Back01:30 – Why I’m Talking About My Food Philosophy04:00 – My Journey: From Vegan to Vegetarian (with Fish)07:30 – Why I Initially Went Plant-Based10:00 – The Health & Skin Benefits I Experienced12:30 – Reintroducing Fish + My Thought Process16:00 – Current Eating Habits & Mental Health Improvements19:00 – My 3-2-1 Meal Planning Framework24:00 – Grocery Shopping Routine + Where I Shop30:00 – Why I Make Everything from Scratch (Becoming an Ingredient Household)36:00 – Final Thoughts + Lessons LearnedBREAK YOUR BUDGET RESOURCES:💸 Personal Finance Dashboard:https://breakyourbudget.com/personal-finance-dashboard💸 Basic Budgeting Template: https://breakyourbudget.com/basic-budgeting-template💸 FI/RE Template: https://breakyourbudget.com/fire-template💸 NEW RENT VS.
