Healthy Meal Plan
As you are reading this, I am heading out of town for a girls weekend with college friends and I am so excited! I am a touch tired, too, thanks to mom life and the general chaos that brings! Anyway, I am glad to have next week’s plan figured out because I am sure I will be wiped when I get back on Sunday! 😅
Getting in more cozy fall favorites on this week’s plan – and using Chicken and Wild Rice Soup as a lunch. I LOVE this soup, but my kids aren’t fans because I don’t even know what’s wrong with them. Will they ever not be picky? Anyway, it makes 6 servings so one batch is great for a week of lunches plus even some for the freezer! Win!

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!
