A free 7-day, flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas and a shopping list. All recipes include macros and Weight Watchers points.
Free 7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (June 10-16)
Let’s get that grill fired up and ready to celebrate dad! Whether your dad is a steak lover, burger man or his favorite is fish, I’ve got a meal to make him happy! As we celebrate this special day dedicated to fathers, I want to extend my gratitude to each and every one of you. Whether you’re a biological dad, stepdad, adoptive dad, father figure, or a dad-to-be, your love, support, and guidance are invaluable and make a significant difference in our lives. Happy Father’s Day!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1500 calories* per day. There’s no one size fits all, this will range by your goals, your age, weight, etc.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
