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 SmartPoints®.
It’s September, and although technically still summer, it’s getting pretty chilly in the evenings, which I am not mad about! With the cooler weather, we’ve been making lots of soups for dinner. This week I added Spinach Tortellini en Brodo and White Bean Turkey Chili to the meal plan, but you can see all my soup recipes here if you want to switch them out.
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 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!

I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way. I will continue to support your products because I feel like you care about us and want to see us succeed in our endeavors to eat well and be healthy. These meals plans make my life so much easier, so, thank you.

Thank you!!! This meal plan took away so much stress and anxiety about what to make this week. I’m still fairly new to WW so having all of your tools is a God send. I love that it is all food that is whole and healthy. It feels good to be able to make that for my family. You are doing great work.  THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!

I love your recipes, have most of your cookbooks. Â I especially enjoy the meal plans. Â There are so many choices it is hard for me to nail down favorites. Â I am a lifetime weight watcher member since 2016 so really love that you add the free style points!!!! Keep all this wonderful creative meal planning coming. Â Would love to try air frying but afraid i would overeat as it would be too easy and too yummy. Â I am a single retired person so sometimes I modify amounts so there is no so much left over!Â
It’s my pleasure!
Thank you for continuing to share these meal plans! It’s a sanity saver, and I swear a marriage saver too. 🙂 Thank you for helping me and my family.
