Meal Plan Details
This 2-Week Healthy Eating Meal Plan includes four weeks of healthy recipes planned for you and created by registered dietitians. The meal plan consists of 4 nourishing dinners each week (with weekly grocery lists) plus suggestions for breakfast, lunch, and snacks.
This meal plan is meant to be flexible in order to fit your lifestyle and preferences. We leave breakfasts, lunches, and snacks open for you to plan because we know that many individuals have their go-to’s when it comes to these meals. For example, I like to have a smoothie or overnight oats for breakfast and either leftovers or a big salad for lunch.
Our ultimate goal with this meal plan is that it is realistic for you to follow and that it doesn’t require you to make a new recipe for every meal of the day. Therefore, we decided to focus on the biggest pain point when it comes to meal planning – dinners that work and everyone looks forward to eating!
What You Get In This Meal Plan
- 4 delicious, family-friendly dinner recipes each week – to make in whatever way works best for you – whether that’s weekend batch-cooking, prepping some of the ingredients ahead so they’re ready when you are, or making the recipes start to finish on each day as you go
- Weekly grocery shopping list – a grocery list for each of the two weeks in the plan
- Suggestions for healthy breakfasts, lunches, and snacks
- Flexibility – we’ve built in days for using leftovers, making your own favorite recipes, or even getting takeout or delivery (because we all like a break from cooking once in a while). Feel free to move days around, double a recipe or two so you have more leftovers, or swap out some of the recipes to use your family’s favorites.
- BYOM – On Sunday’s it’s a “Build Your Own Meal (BYOM)”. We encourage you to use what you have leftover from the week.
- All recipes are high protein and have suggestions for other dietary modifications
- BONUS: 2-Week Workout Plan that you could pair with this meal plan for two weeks of planned fitness and healthful eating

Add These: Breakfast, Lunch & Snack Recipes
Here are some meal suggestions for your breakfasts, lunches, and snacks. They would make great additions to your 2-week meal plan.
Tips For Following The Meal Plan
- Take inventory of what you have on hand. This is an important step to take before you head to the grocery store or order your groceries. Many of the items on the grocery list are staple items like oils and seasonings.
- Add or subtract from your grocery list to account for what you already have and what you need for recipes that aren’t part of the meal plan.
- Plan when you’ll use leftovers, meals from the freezer, or takeout or delivery for dinner during the week (or add a few more recipes of your choice to the meal plan if that works better for you and your family).
- Don’t be afraid to double freezer-friendly recipes for meals later in the month – your future self will thank you!
- Choose breakfasts, lunches and snacks that are simple, made with real food ingredients and something you don’t mind repeating throughout the week. The key here is that these meals are simple. So while we provide suggestions, if you have a favorite breakfast, lunch and/or snack by all means choose what will serve you best.
- Review the recipes and pre-chop vegetables. This is a great task to tackle on a Sunday and will save you a considerable amount of time during the week.
