Why Should Everyone Meal Plan?
Meal planning is a great way to organize your meals for the week ahead. You also save time and money in the supermarket! And of course, planning ahead helps you stick to your goals! Check out my new Skinnytaste Meal Planner which is now out for pre-order!
About The Meal Plan
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. You should aim for around 1500 calories* per day.
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!
THE DETAILS:
Breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday, are designed to serve 1 while dinners and all meals on Saturday and Sunday are designed to serve a family of 4. Some recipes make enough leftovers for two nights or lunch the next day. While we truly believe there is no one size fits all meal plan, we did our best to come up with something that appeals to a wide range of individuals. Everything is Weight Watchers friendly, I included the updated WW Blue SP for your convenience, feel free to swap out any recipes you wish or just use this for inspiration!
The grocery list is comprehensive and includes everything you need to make all meals on the plan. I’ve even included brand recommendations of products I love and use often. Cross check your cabinets because many condiments you’ll notice I use often, so you may already have a lot of them.
And last, but certainly not least, this meal plan is flexible and realistic. There’s plenty of wiggle room for cocktails, healthy snacks, dessert and dinner out. And if necessary, you can move some things around to make it work with your schedule. Please let me know if you’re using these plans, this will help me decide if I should continue sharing them!

I’m so happy to have found this! Thanks for making it so easy!
Thank you, <3 Just found this and these are amazingly helpful.
With 4 kids, we go through a lot of food! This is so helpful in giving me some direction and getting me out of a cooking rut. Thank you!! Â
Please keep sharing!!
My aunt just turned me on to your website, facebook, and cookbooks, and I’m so happy I could almost cry. So many times, people who do meal planning just don’t seem to GET me or my family; they just eat so differently from us that their plans aren’t realistic or yummy. But yours is perfect! I have been on so many diets, every since I was a child, and I can never make it stick. But I feel like you are just what I was looking for. I’m so tickled to find you and so, so grateful for this work you are doing. Thank you so much!
Aw thank you Sheila! I hope you enjoy!
Hi! I love what I see here – think it will really help me. It will be nice not to have to think about food, lol, just do it!
The link to figure out your calorie needs just goes to My Plate. Is the widget thingy on there?
I look forward to receiving these every week and the dishes are delicious!Â
Great having someone else plan a full week of healthy meals with grocery list! Appreciated!
Thank you for this meal plan! The details and planning work you’ve done is extremely helpful.
Wow! Thank you for sharing all of your hard work! Having a menu plan is so helpful, and the detailed shopping list is icing on the cake.
Thank you, Gina! I use these all the time and they make my WW journey so much easier, please continue sharing them!
I’ve lost 4 pounds following your menus for the last 2 weeks and it is a huge relief!! I’ve tried several meal plans in an effort to keep my calories in check while also feeding my family, and this one is actually planned well enough to provide wiggle room without a ton of recalculating. Showed my kids the pic of the mummy pizza bread and they can’t wait. Love that I can make some special memories with them without having to pull out a frozen dinner for me. Thank you! We’ll also be making the candy corn fruit salad.
I am so glad you find these helpful!
Yum!! Looks like another delicious week. Love getting your meal plans in my inbox.Â
