A free 7-day flexible meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.
Just a friendly reminder, to receive my new recipes or meal plans via email, make sure you’re signed up for my email subscription (it’s free!). Second, have you pre-ordered my cookbook Skinnytaste One and Done? It comes out Oct 9, but you can get 4 free recipes from the book now, with your pre-order. More details here!
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!
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. 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!

LOVE!! Thank you so much.
Thank you for doing this each week! I love it. Please continue to share.
Thank you so much these meal plans are saving my life ! Thank you so so much !!!
I am so excited to try your weekly meal plans! they are laid out so nicely and organized! i used to be on weight watchers but not any more, i do not like that they change the plan every 2 years. so i am sticking with counting calories. I am so excited to finally start feeding my family healthy food! please keep these up!
my picky eating husband and I love your meal plans and thank you. I have a hard time with meal planning and when I don’t we end up with junk dinners and this just makes it so easy. Since we started we have both dropped weight and have been feeling so much better! Your one pot Spaghetti and meat sauce replaced my normal pasta recipe and it’s easy to add veggies or sub in FF ground turkey instead to lower the FP even further!!!!
These plans are amazing! I feed a family of 7 – 3 of which are “picky” – so the flexibility your plans give me are much appreciated!! I just started on your website, so I hope that you continue to put out free meal plans. I know it is a time consuming task, how awesome are you to do it for free!?!?!
Thank you!!!!
I’ve tried to email the weekly meal plan to myself several times. It says it’s sent but I don’t receive it. I also subscribed but I don’t know if that worked either!! I didn’t get any kind of confirmation email.
I just re-entered you Dorothy, let me know if you start getting emails!
