Ready to start meal planning?

Answer: I have a post on my blog that will walk you through how you might want to set your own macros!

Answer: Absolutely! You'll be able to customize your meal plan so that it provides as many servings of the meals as you'd like. I've had grateful mom-messages coming in for years about how they're kids ACTUALLY like the recipes!

Answer: Yes! If you want it to. There will be a suggested bulk-prepped protein on Sunday's to set you up for success during the week. You'll also see notes each week on what can be done in advance if you like to get prepped ahead.

Answer: This is a dinner meal plan, meant to help you plan the hardest meal of the day. The focus is to help you cook smarter, so your busy week nights run smoothly even when feeding a family, and EVEN if you're counting macros. But you will ALSO have access to over 200 LEAT recipes, including breakfast, lunch, and treat recipes. You can customize your meal plan by adding any of those recipes to your week's breakfast and lunch, which will of course, generate items needed on your grocery list!

Answer: Your plan will include five dinners a week. Three of those will be utilizing the bulk prepped protein, which also works beautifully for a quick lunch! You could easily use of those dinner recipes for your lunches, or make extra protein and repeat one of those recipes for your lunches, or just enjoy leftovers for lunch! Think salad, bowls, tacos, sandwiches…

Answer: This will not be exclusively gluten or dairy free. However, since I have gone through gf/df phases, a lot of my recipes are naturally gluten and dairy free. A lot of others have notes on how to easily make swaps. If you find a recipe in the meal plan that won't work for you, you can easily swap it out for something else, since it's fully customizable!

Answer: I do love using pork tenderloin since it's such an inexpensive, lean protein source! But the macros are very close to chicken breast, and not too far from flank steak, so I would suggest swapping one of those in it's place in most of the recipes! Or of course you can swap out the meal entirely.

Answer: OK we looked into this so much and when you see a meal plan that will land you right at your macros, in my opinion, there's a catch! It’s going to be a computer generated list of foods, and you’ll end up with a 100 g of egg whites thrown into some random meal. Maybe a tablespoon of olive oil to hit your fats. I just can’t get behind that! I want these to be beautiful meals that make sense and enrich your life, not just check boxes. I want your fats spent in ways that make your meals more delicious, or on your own personal favorite treats! I'm personally curating the weekly plans so that they make the most sense for your grocery shopping, kitchen prep, and ENJOYMENT. Ones you’ll be excited to eat and even excited to share with guests. I believe that’s what makes it sustainable! HOWEVER, with the bulk prepped lean protein in your plan, you have so much ability to manipulate your own macros. Hear me out. Most people struggle to hit the protein without going over in fat and carbs. The key to this is having meals low in carbs/fats, while keeping a lean protein prepped in your fridge! This way, you can build your day, log ahead, and if you have protein gaps, simply add more lean protein to your lunch salad or dinner sandwich etc.

Answer: Want to plan for leftovers for lunch? Simply adjust the recipes to make as many servings as you'll need so you’re sure to have lunches all week!
