Is it Friday yet? Yes, it is, Yippeee. Well I am excited about Friday not only because the weekend starts but also because it’s a meal plan day. Planning meals for the whole week has kind of become fun for me. I enjoy listing my menu ideas, writing down my grocery list and do some food preparation work before the next hectic week starts. As a result the nights after work have become so much easier and organized now.
Again this meal document is planned keeping the shortage of time in mind yet healthy so I have focused on low calories and high in protein and fiber meal planning. However, the meals are under accepted calories with an average daily requirement of 2000 calories.
Dinner time is family time and we all should relish this time of the day with happy memories and awesome guilt free food.
Along with the breakfast ideas that are provided in the meal plan include some fruits and almond milk or your choice of vegan milk to make it a complete morning meal.
For Mid-Morning Snacks – include smoothies into your diet to keep you hydrated and full till lunch time.
For Evening Snacks include some low fat vegan yogurt, fresh or dry fruits and nuts. You can also opt for hot snacks if desired.

Wow! I can’t plan what I am going to eat for lunch right now! Haha. I am also guessing you don’t have to feed other people with this. I know my kids would starve!

I am really bad at the meal planning. Don’t get me wrong I will make dairy effort to put health and deliciousness on the table but the planning needs some work. This will help, thanks!

Meal planning is so great. It takes the guess work out of the equation on those nights where trying to come up with something seems like such a task. In saying that, however, I never make it a priority on the weekend to sit down and do it. Thanks for giving me the nudge to get back at it!
Gunjan says
I agree with you Kim. Hope your week is better planned and stress with the help of this meal plan. 🙂

There’s nothing I like more then behind told what to eat! I’m serious, I search all the time for healthy meal plans! Coming to your site today and seeing this, I’m pumped. I don’t now why, most of the time I gather my meals, write out what we are having and which day, then make my grocery list. But having a meal plan already wrote out, LOVE! Thank you!!! I’m going shopping today and using yours!
