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 this!!! Meal planning and list writing is probably the chore I hate the most. This saves me a TON of time and lets us try things that I probably never would have chosen on my own. Thanks!
I so appreciate you putting these out every week. My husband liked my cooking before, but these plans have him falling in love with healthy food. Thank you!!
Wonderful!
Thank you so much for these meal plans! Please keep doing them!
Love these meal plans and truly appreciate the grocery list attached. You are awesome!
I’ve always looked over the plans but never really committed. Mostly I just randomly look up a recipe with a certain ingredient and go from there but my husband and I are looking to do a weight loss challenge with other couple friends and I think the meal plans will help us to eat healthy food that’s also delicious. Thank you for the time and effort that you put into these.
Thank you for your generosity in providing these to all your followers. Just like many here, they help out so much in keeping us organized and our family healthy. I was wondering if it would be possible to have the shopping list put in a google doc like you do with the weekly plan? If not, not a biggie, just thought it would be easier to print out.
Thank you again
A friend just shared this site with me – and I am so excited to start using the weekly plan! I need something to follow – so this is great. Thank you!
I loved every meal this week and cannot wait for next week’s plan! Thank you so much for helping me healthier.
I love this so much! THANK YOU!!
These are amazing. They are super tasty and make plenty of food for me and my husband.
Thank you so much for making my life so much easier!!
Please continue them. I just started using them and they are such a life saver. Thank you so much.
I love, love love the meal plans each week. Have been using them now for the past couple of months and have lost 15 pounds! Please don’t ever remove them. I know so many people w hi yes them.
Thank you for your meal plans and for your delicious and varied recipes! I’ve followed you for many years,but now that I’ve joined WW I appreciate your work even more!
I’m retiring at the end of this week and am planning to use your meal plans to, hopefully, drop some unwanted pounds. I hope you continue to share the meal plans – I will substitute some of the recipes due to likes/dislikes of me and my husband. I make some of your recipes already and have not been disappointed with any of them. I love your website and tell everyone about it.
Thanks Patricia!
I should have also said that my husband’s very favorite recipe is the baked chicken parmesan. I make this sometimes once a week !!
I appreciate these meal plans so much — you are helping to keep me and my family healthy and well-nourished!
I love these menus. I sub some, because of likes and dislikes in my family.
Yes… I look at your blog every day for inspiration and new healthy meals! Thanks so much!
Love your plans! Even when I don’t make the whole thing, I love the inspiration. Thanks — I know it is a lot of work!
