Happy Sunday, meal preppers! This week’s meal plan is perfect for these steamy and stormy summer days that have been leaving my house windows fogged up every morning 🙄 I’m finally mostly moved into my new house and I might even do some meal prepping this week after about a month break while all my kitchen supplies were packed up for the move. How about you? Are you meal prepping this weekend?
If you’ve never been here before, welcome! My meal prep posts go a little something like this: 1) meal plan (use any or all of it!), 2) snack ideas, and 3) links to the containers you see here. You can also download a free, printer-friendly version of the meal plan along with all of the recipes, nutrition info, and scannable My Fitness Pal barcodes. These printer friendly meal plans are exclusive content for email subscribers, but once you sign up, you’ll be able to access all my weekly meal plans that are available in printer-friendly format! I’m still working to update old meal plans with this new feature, but all future ones will have this available. And bonus – you can also access these plans early, sometimes up to a week ahead of non-subscribers!

The Meal Plan
You may notice that my weekly meal plans only account for 6 out of the 7 days of the week. Don’t worry, that’s intentional and there are a few reasons for it. First, food freshness is quickly fading by day 6 and I don’t like to push beyond that limit. Second, I like to leave a little room for spontaneity, so I give myself some space in my meal plan for one or two meals of takeout or dining out (usually on the weekend). You can adjust this meal plan to meet your needs, but I always share what I’m actually prepping and eating so you can decide if it will work for you too.
