About the Meal Plan
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve shared 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 room to move for you add more food, coffee, drinks, fruits, snacks, desserts, wine, etc. or exchange recipes for the meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1500 calories* per day. There is no one size fits all, this will vary for your goals, your age, weight, etc.
There is also an accurate and organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping much easier and much less stressful. Save money and time. You’ll eat less often, waste less food and have everything you need on hand to help you stay on track.
