A Healthy Weekly Meal Plan with husband approved meals in honor of Father’s Day. This meal plan has breakfast, lunch, and 5 dinners to make it a great week in the kitchen. Plus 21 Day Fix Containers, WW points, and a meal planning spreadsheet included, too.
Healthy Meal Plan
My husband, the official taste tester of the blog, has a bunch of favorite recipes and, in honor of Father’s Day, we added many of them to the meal plan this week! It’s going to be a yummy week!
We plan to make Crab Cakes on Sunday, and they are so good leftover, that having them on Monday again is a nice treat. We’ll just put them over green and make some Copycat Rice a Roni on the side! Note for FIXers – if you have an extra orange, definitely make this lemon aioli dipipng sauce to put on top of your crab cakes!
He also loves these Pancakes w/ Caramelized Banana + Walnuts so I am just going to meal prep them for the week and/or the freezer. My kids prefer them with chocolate chips or plain.
For lunch, I love the dressing for the Ramen Noodle Salad, so I added it to the plan this week. This salad is a great way to get those veggies in – load it up!! (Note for FIXers: there are some modifications to the salad noted on the spreadsheet, depending on your bracket, so just double check that if you’re following containers!)

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!
