A Healthy Meal Plan with yummy meals perfect for the start of Lent! This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinners to help you plan your week! Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a weekly meal planning spreadsheet included, too.

Healthy Meal Plan
I’m looking at the weather for the week ahead and it looks like we’re going to spend a bunch of time in the 40s AND even hit 50 one day! That will be a welcome warm up to melt some of these snow piles!
With that in mind, this meal plan serves a little bit of cozy mixed with a little touch of spring, too!
We’re leaning into the Mardi Gras theme and making some delicious IP Jambalaya on Tuesday! It’s so yummy and I definitely don’t make it enough! You can totally mix up the proteins to what you have on hand or what’s on sale to keep it more cost effective also.
If you observe Lent, the plan features some meatless dinners on Wednesday and Friday. And this week’s breakfast is another variation on the high protein Greek yogurt/cottage cheese combo that I just can’t get enough of – make sure you check it out!
Enjoy!

With a little warm up coming, I’m craving Greek Pasta Salad! I think I’ll top with some grilled chicken breast, but it would also be yummy with some tuna or leftover chicken thighs!

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.

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!
