These menus and meal plans are a GREAT PLACE to start to because they’re simple recipes that are high in protein. It can take a lot of the thinking and planning out of it!
You’ll need to adjust the portions of these menus to hit your custom macros. Follow these 3 steps.
- Create a ONE-DAY MENU for yourself (copy mine, or adjust mine to your liking. Swapping instructions are on the PDFs)
- Input it into MyFitnessPal
- Adjust the portions of the ingredients & recipes to hit your macros.

MEAL PLANS (read notes below before using)
INFO on the MEAL PLANS
These meal plans were from my former program, Slim Smart Transform. The recipes are a great resource, because they’re fairly quick & easy, and always include a good amount of protein but they don’t use the intermittent fasting daily meal structure… so you end up prepping 3 meals and 2 snacks per day, which is much more time consuming and requires more planning.
The caloric intake is about 1400 calories a day in these meal plans.
Feel free to use them as a recipe book instead of a meal plan – that’s really what I’d recommend. Maybe choose a week, and pick a few recipes to try from it, for example.
You are welcome to use the full meal plan, here are some things to factor in
- To incorporate intermittent fasting, I would eat the breakfast or lunch AND first snack for your breakfast during late morning or at lunch time.
- Some of my clients like to save one of the sweet snacks like a parfait, as a post-dinner dessert.
- Idea to adapt the meal plan – if you have the breakfast or lunch recipe (pick your fave) and snack 1 for your first meal, then DINNER & snack 2 for your second meal, you’d be pretty set.
- The meal plan is flexible. You can swap any lunch for a lunch, and snack for a snack.
- You can repeat meals or full days. For example, if you love Monday’s menu, you could have it 2-3 days in a row. EASY. If you like Tuesday’s dinner, double the recipe and have it for dinner many days etc.
- It’s a decent amount of shopping and cooking if you do the full things (no swaps or repeat meals). I worked really hard to rework leftovers and use crockpot recipes etc, but even then, it is a commitment. I just don’t cook that much anymore. I’ve really simplified things over the years, BUT… some of my clients who used these meal plans LOVED them because
- They didn’t have to think AT ALL. Literally, everything was planned for them, using normal, affordable ingredients
- They ended up learning how to cook healthy and incorporating a balance of carbs, proteins & fats
- I didn’t use measure macros in these recipes, I just know they are really well-balanced amount carbs, proteins & fats
