A Healthy Weekly Meal Plan with high protein, super cozy winter recipes! This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinner ideas to take the stress out of meal planning! Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a meal planning spreadsheet included, too.
Healthy Meal Plan
On this weekly meal plan we are continuing to highlight more high protein, delicious, and cozy meals. I’m also trying to make the most of this super cold weather by using all of our winter favorite recipes!
I’ve been looking for ways to amp up some of the older Confessions recipes by adding some extra protein. So in the IP Frittata, feel free to use cottage cheese in addition to, or instead of, turkey bacon. You can also use cottage cheese in your Baked Ziti instead of ricotta cheese – I promise you won’t even be able to tell!
For lunch, I have really been craving my Instant Pot Chicken Wild Rice Soup lately, so this is the perfect week to put it on the meal plan! It’s such a yummy soup- full of veggies, fiber, and protein!

We are working on converting each recipe on the site to the new WW points system. Some recipes still have a link to find your personal points, while others have the points listed. In both cases, if you go to the recipe card on each blog post you will find the WW points info in the “notes” section. Thank you for bearing with us while we work on adapting to the new system!

When I meal plan I always start by planning my dinners. Then breakfast, then lunch. And finally, I fill in my snacks for the day with my remaining macros, points, or containers.
Healthy Snack Ideas | 21 Day Fix Snacks this post is a great way to get ideas for the containers, points, or macros you have leftover after you plan the rest of your day!
It’s still important to follow the 21 Day Fix plan on Saturdays and Sundays for optimal results, but you will likely have leftover meals and ingredients after following this healthy weekly meal plan. And, so, to eliminate food waste, take inventory of your fridge and pantry at the end of the week and create a plan for the weekend. Many people like to get some healthy takeout one night – think yummy salads with grilled protein or a slice of veggie pizza – and we have this helpful Healthy Weekend Meals post to help you even more!
