I’m super excited to share the completely updated and revised Skinnytaste Meal Planner, Revised Edition a 52-week, daily meal planner to help you jump start your health goals by getting organized. Based on everyone’s feedback about improving the previous Meal Planner, this revised planner was improved based on your comments!
Available at Barnes and Noble and Amazon.
The completely updated and revised Skinnytaste Meal Planner now includes:
- More space for writing your meal entries including Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!
- Spiral binding so the planner lays flat for easier writing
- Shopping lists to plan your week’s groceries
- Notes sections to keep track of extra tasks
- Check-boxes so you can mark off your weekly goals as you complete them each day
Meal planning is easy, it only takes a few steps:
- Plan your meals for the week (get your kids and husband involved)
- Make a shopping list.
- Go shopping!
To kick off the launch I’ve partnered with one of my cookbook team members and recipe developers, Danielle Hazard, experienced in the food, cooking and nutrition field and a perfect match for meal planning. Together, we’ve come up with a detailed, thorough meal plan that includes breakfast, lunch and dinner for the entire week! Say goodbye to the stress of meal planning and grocery list writing and hello to a week of delicious, pre-planned, well balanced Skinnytaste meals.
To make it easy for you, we’ve included a more 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. Forget about spinning your wheels, trying to come up with meals for your busy week. We’ve done it for you!
Here are 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 Weight Watcher Freestyle Points 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.
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. Pair the plan with the NEW Skinnytaste Meal Planner and you are guaranteed to succeed.

I want to buy the meal planner but it looks like it’s sold out on amazon, target, and Barnes and Noble. Will there be more copies made soon?

I can’t find this planner anywhere ?
Sorry its on back order, it will be out again in April
Can’t wait til April!
Hi Gina, is there any update on when the updated planner will be available? Love your recipes! Thanks for posting the weekly meal plans!
Can’t wait to get a copy of this new meal planner – will keep checking stores to see if available!
I would like to purchase your new revised meal planner Andrea can not find it in stock anywhere… please help
Just saw about ve reply. Will continue checking. Thanks
Hi Gina! Will the new planner be available in the near future? I’ve been looking everyday to see if B&N or Amazon has any. 🙁 Thanks!
yes! Sorry it’s printing!
awesome!!!! i can’t wait!
was going to order meal planer from amazon but reviews posted said covers were put on backwards and pages misprinted is this so and have they been revised
Love your recipes and websites, blogs just everything you do
I’m aware of the misprint, I’m so sorry, they are fixing it, I will know more soon about when we’ll have new books!
Absolutely LOVE the weekly meal plan and that breakfast and lunch were added! we use your meal plans all the time! Thank you so much for doing this!
I love this and wish you would do this meal plan with grocery lists weekly-thanks!
Hi Gina! I have been a follower of yours for a couple years and I have to say you have outdone yourself with this! Thank you for this type of meal plan! I have ordered your meal planner and I cannot wait to receive. I get into a rut with breakfasts and lunches and this will help out tremendously! My family also enjoys all of your meals that I cook for them. Thank you for your time and effort on this!
Love love love the meal plan that includes breakfast and lunch! Thanks so much for this. I usually get into quite the rut with those meals, so it’s awesome to see your suggestions! I’m sure the shopping list is super time consuming, but please know it’s incredibly helpful! You’re the best!
Received my new planner today! It is so cool and I cannot wait to use it. I am a meal planner and also a WW member. It has absolutely everything I need in it. What is cool is that it is the whole year and if say I want to see a recipe later in the year from January or whenever it will be in that planner. When I plan meals I also write where I find them. So, this is going to be so helpful!!! I hope these are always going to be available in the coming years!!
My new planner just arrived (3:01PM). I love it already and look forward to using the meal plan with it.
Awesomeness!
great!
Hi! Just ordered the planner from Target, and printed out what you laid out for the week. I have a question about Friday. For lunch, it says “Chilled Italian Shrimp Tortellini Pasta x2 (6)”. Does the “x2” mean two servings?
Thanks so much for your hard work and generosity!
Great, yes 2 servings.
awesome thanks so much for the clarification!

Thank you so much. We hope to hear from you or a representative soon. ~Monica Howell, CPT.
I love having the lunch and breakfast in the plan. Is this in the meal planner?
I added the lunch. Feel free to use what I added or add your own ideas!
Thank you for all your hard work Gina!! It is so wonderfully obvious that you LOVE what you do and inspire not only practical, delicious approaches to food but also I’ve rediscovered how much I myself love to cook and experiment in the kitchen 🙂 Happy Holidays!
thank you!
This is so awesome!
Quick question…does this mean I will have to pay for your weekly meal plans??
This is free
This is amazing. Is there perhaps an app in the works? I would love something I can use to plan on my phone!
Perhaps one day!! Would be great.
you are my absolute favorite person right now. that is what I need! I am the only one breakfast and lunch Monday thru Friday and then the family is all together dinner and weekends. how absolutely perfect! I just pre ordered your book. I am a 2 year Hodgkins Lymphoma survivor (while pregnant) and gained a ton of weight after treatment. Your recipes are the only healthy recipes my husband likes too lol so I think we will do this together! thank you so much for taking the time to do this !
Wow pretty amazing going through all of that while pregnant, I am thrilled you like my recipes!
Love this and love your recipes , I use them all the time , my husband loves every recipe of your I do , thank you
are oranges 4 points now?
also some days you only have 11-15 points, which seems really really low
how do you balance that out over the week?
Oranges are 0. I am leaving room open for wine, coffee, snacks, whatever you may add to your day.
I thought you had mentioned awhile back that you’re working on a 3rd cookbook. Just wondering If that is still in the works?
Yes it will be out in the Fall!
Yay!! This is so exciting and I love that you did the meal plan too!! My husband and I pretty much only make your recipes and when I try something else and he doesn’t like it he says “this wasn’t Skinnytaste was it…”
🙂
Aww!
Love the whole idea!! Love your recipes! Question: Is the new weekly meal plan a one-time thing or will a new one come every week with my email subscription to SkinnyTaste? I look forward to the daily and weekly emails. Thanks for everything and have a wonderful Holiday season and New Year.
Thank you!! I am still decided as they are time consuming. I want to see if people are using them.
Love your weekly plans. I make 3-4 from them each week. I was wondering if you eat snacks during the day and if so what? Getting a little bored with my weekly routine. ????
Love the new planner! I can’t wait to try it and stop going to the grocery store 3 times a week!
Is it possible to customize the weekly menu to just two people? There would certainly be more leftovers and therefore less cooking to do. Also, I wish there was a way to link the weekly grocery list to search the sale circulars of my 4-5 local grocery stores to ensure I’m shopping for the best deals.
I’ll have to look into that
There is an app called Flipp where you can search all your local circulars for deals, but you have to search each item individually. You enter your zip code. I’m in no way affiliated with Flipp and not sponsored. 🙂
Quick Questions: I know you’ve been updating your recipes, so does your weekly online planner include smarpoint revisions for WWFreestyle?
yes it does. The recipes are updated 2017 up to 2010.
Thank you for making it spiral!! Will stay open on my desk so much better now!
Oh wauw I love it! I’m a sucker for planners and meal planning. So a double joy for me, but it’s a shame I can’t order it to the Netherlands. ll’l have to find a way to get it! Keep up the great work 🙂
Looks great Gina. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Always!
