7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (August 2-8)

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

A free 7-day, flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. Recipes include macros and WW Points.

7-Day Healthy Meal Plan

One of my favorite things about this time of summer is being able to just walk outside and pick my own veggies! Here are a few of my favorite summer veggie recipes- Corn, Tomato, Avocado Salad, is def at the top of the list, as is this simple Summer Tomato Salad and don’t forget Sauteed Zucchini with Plum Tomatoes! Fresh and easy!

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!

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!

Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2020! There was a print error last year, but it’s perfect now! You can order it here!

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!

    Amazing pork! I altered the spices a bit, but the key was the cooking method. It was the most moist pork tenderloin I’ve ever had.

  6. I am using these plans. I’ve had trouble doing WW successfully on my own, so I am really excited about this!! Please continue.

  7. Thank you for posting these meal plans. We use them every week to plan our meals. It’s so helpful and a time saver. 

  8. Thank you so much. All the way from the Netherlands. I use your meal plans every week. They have made life so much easier. Thank you!

  9. We tried our first meal plan last week and it was great! THANK YOU for providing them!! The kids were even jealous of some of my lunches and breakfasts and usually they don’t want to eat anything I eat when I’m trying to eat healthy. I have decision fatigue and will agonize for hours on what to feed myself and my family each week (and that’s when I’m not focused on eating healthy, so healthy plans take even longer!) I’m looking forward to following your plans for a long time in the future!

  10. Hi Gina!
    Thanks for all the great healthy recipes, I enjoy so many of them!
    Regarding the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, the link takes you to Amazon, to the 12/2017 edition.  Before I order, I want to make sure this is the most current version you refer to in this weeks  Skinnytaste Weekly Meal Plan email.  

    Will you please let me know?
    Thank you, 
    Tammy

    1. Hi Tammy! Thank you for asking! I have a new Meal Planner coming out in December but it is available for preorder now at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Indie Bound.

  11. Gina, I can’t thank you enough. I have recently begun a weight loss journey and your site/ cookbooks/ and meal plans have been vital to my success so far! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you and my family thanks you! 🙂
