A Healthy Meal plan with reader favorite dinners that the whole family will love. Celebrate Cinco de Mayo week with two drool worthy Mexican recipes! Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a meal planning spreadsheet included, too.
Healthy Meal Plan
Cinco De Mayo is a whole vibe here this week! I could eat tacos daily and Cinco De Mayo is the perfect excuse to do that. I limited myself to two Mexican inspired meals on this plan…but I might be eating more than that myself next week.
This weekly plan is actually originally based off of Full Plan Vol 6 so if you want to just follow that instead, you can have your whole week planned out! (Just no nachos or Mexican lasagna for you lol!)
For lunch, I’m totally in the mood for Berry Chicken Salad (recipe is in the app or on the weekly spreadsheet) and plan to have some leftover Mexican Lasagna one of the days. I also highly recommend doubling the Asian Meatballs for the freezer and/or for your lunches this week. Takes zero extra time to do this!

About This Meal Plan
If you have been following full plans, and are new to my weekly meal plans, each week there are five dinners and a breakfast planned out, along with a lunch suggestion.
These weekly plans allow for more flexibility, but the meal plan still follows the 21 Day Fix containers and also includes WW points. This plan is perfect for anyone who is interested in healthy eating, portion control, prioritizing whole foods, and living a healthy lifestyle.

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!
You are in luck! I have 16 FREE and FULL 21 Day Fix Meal Plans for all of the calorie brackets ready to go for you!
