A free 7-day flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and Weight Watchers Freestyle™ SmartPoints®.
Fish Florentine has been such a huge hit, I added it back on this weeks 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!
Also, if you don’t have the Skinnytaste Meal Planner, now would be a great time to get one to get organized for 2019! 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 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!

First let me say, THANK YOU! Second, I have searched for months trying to find a suitable and healthy meal plan for my family. I’m a mom if 3 homeschooled boys, who works full time from home, is the caretaker of my grandmother, attends part time college and still trying to loose this excess weight before the day begins… is stressful enough… I hated planning meals and now thanks to you, you’ve given me the ability to take more time to do the important things. Truly you’ve just given me the most precious gift (time) and that merits more than thanks so, I’m telling everyone I know about your site too. A billion Stars if I could!!
Thank you Aimee! 🙂
These meal plans are so helpful! I don’t know what I would do without them. A busy teacher, mom and wife, I just don’t have the time to do it all on my own. I’ve even suggested them to my mother. 🙂 Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
These meal plans are absolutely fantastic. The recipes are so delicious and easy. I love that I have lots of left over days so am not constantly in the kitchen on busy evenings. Please don’t stop – I’ve just found you!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for these meal plans. Trying to lose that last 10 lbs of baby weight, which is hard to do with a newborn and toddler running around! Thank you for taking the guesswork out of this for me! <3
Thank you for spending the time to put together these meal plans. I love how flexible they are and that they are a jumping off point for the week for me.
I was getting in a rut with Weight Watchers–between work and my toddler, I was starting to eat the same things day in and day out because I felt like I didn’t have the time to plan. I really hope that you continue building these as they have been such a great help to me (and surely other moms that just haven’t had the time to leave a message). 🙂
Love the meal planning and recipes. Starting to try them now.
A goal of mine is to be better at meal planning so my family isn’t eating omelets for dinner every night (though, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?!). I have always loved your recipes and am starting to use the meal plans too. GAME. CHANGER. Please keep them coming!! And the shopping list is on point!!! Thank you for creating and sharing delicious, healthy food!
I love these meal plans so much!! Everything is delicious! Please keep them coming! They are making such a big difference for me and my husband! Thank you!!
Thank you so so much for these meal plans! It’s so helpful and makes life a whole lot easier and delicious! I wanted to make a quick note for you though, as I was cross-referencing the shopping list to see what I already have, and to remove some ingredients for meals we’re subbing out (unfortunately no mushroom fans in my house lol!), I noticed that it looks like the ingredients for the shredded chicken Harissa are missing from the shopping list!
Thank you so much for doing this! Really is great tool 🙂
I love these meal plans! They really help me stay on track! Love your cookbooks and really enjoy your meal plan options on the website 😊
These meal plans are excellent. Thank you for sharing them. I love all your recipes and direct many to your site. I have your cookbooks and buy them as presents for friends and family. Delicious, healthy food. Thank you for doing this.
Thank you! Love the meal plans. Sometimes I substitute recipes from my family. I love your cookbook, too. Thanks for the google doc, it makes my life so much easier! It’s hard to meal plan and prep for the work week, and your posts really help me stay on-plan and healthy. <3
I love these thank you!
My family loves your meal plans. My son and I pick out meals every week. Thank you for this! We always mix and match so we never use the grocery list.
I LOVE these meal plans. Makes eating healthy so much easier. Please continue to share these!
I am so grateful for these meal plans. I only meal plan using your cookbooks, but this takes the guess work out it. They give me great ideas for switching up my meals without the added stress. Thanks!
Love these meal plans – thank you! I’m the meal planner in my family, and also a very busy working mom, so to have the convenience of a tasty, healthy menu (and list) has been such a blessing!
Gina, your recipes and meal plans have changed my life. My husband and I cook from your website every day. I never thought healthy food could taste so good. Thank you for all of your effort!
Aww thank you Savannah!
I really appreciate these meal plans and my family is loving the meals which is essential.
My one suggestion/request would be a notation of where the recipes can be found in your cookbooks if they are in the cookbooks. I own three of your books but currently I am printing out recipes b/c it would be time consuming to look through all the books for them.
Thanks!
I look at your meal plan on a regular basis. It gives me a collection of recipes to choose from that I can trust to taste good and still be healthy. Many of them have gone into my recipe collection!
That fish florentine is OUT OF THIS WORLD! For my kiddo that won’t eat fish, we just put the spinach mixture with a chicken breast. Perfect!!
