The holidays are always so crazy, so I hope these meal plans can help simplify your life!

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 your meal plans. I was just talking you up to my SIL who was sharing that she’s been struggling with healthy meal ideas for her family. We both got your “One and Done” cookbook for Christmas and can’t wait to try everything! Thank you for sharing your talents!

     I have recently been following the keto diet and wanted to find out if you are able to make meal plans for that? I am really enjoying your website, recipes, and Facebook page! Thank you! 

  7. I love your recipes and website! I recently started keto and was wondering if you could do a meal plan for those of us who are on the Keto Diet?

  8. I’m going back to weight watchers the first week of the new year. I’ve lost focus over the year and gained so much weight. I have cooked many meals off your website and truly loved every one of them. In all honesty, I’d be lost without them! Looking at the weekly planned meals makes me even more hopeful that I can regain control of my weight and be successful. Please keep the weekly planned meals coming. I can’t wait to try them! Thank you so much, Gina!!

  9. I am so grateful for your kindness and willingness to share these wonderful meal plans. You have put so much work into them! A labor of love for sure! Thank you! I made the bagels this morning and the Chicken Taco Chili for supper. Deeeee luscious!

  10. Thank you sooooo much for putting together these recipes and sharing them!!!! You are making my life sooo much easier and I’m very grateful for all your efforts and kindness!!! Happy holidays!  I will let you know my results with them this week.
