Free 7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (Nov 9-15)
As fall festivities start to kick into high gear, have no fear- I’ve got you covered! From a dish to share like my Fall Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner or this Turkey Chili Stuffed Acorn Squash for a smaller crowd, both are sure to please! Need an appetizer? This Autumn Whipped Ricotta Dip is sure to be a hit and can be made in advance. Don’t forget to end the night on a sweet note with these Pumpkin Cheesecake Shooters!
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!
