Free 7 Day Healthy Meal Plan (November 4-10)
Chicken breast is a nutrient-dense protein source that fits well into a variety of popular diets, including the Mediterranean diet. It’s low in fat, high in protein, and provides essential nutrients like B vitamins (especially niacin and B6), which support energy metabolism and brain health. Chicken breast is also a good source of selenium, an antioxidant that supports immune function and thyroid health. Additionally, its high protein content promotes muscle maintenance and growth, while helping to keep you feeling full longer, which can aid in weight management. This Air Fryer Herbed Buttermilk Roast Chicken Breast is sure to be a family hit and my Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken is perfect for meal prep and use in multiple recipes!
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’ve been sharing these free, 7-day flexible healthy meal plans (you can see my previous meal plans here) that are meant as a guide, with plenty of wiggle room for you to add more food, coffee, beverages, fruits, snacks, dessert, wine, etc. or swap recipes out for meals you prefer, you can search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1500 calories* per day. There’s no one size fits all, this will range by your goals, your age, weight, etc.
There’s also a precise, organized grocery list that will make grocery shopping so much easier and much less stressful. Save you money and time. You’ll dine out less often, waste less food and you’ll have everything you need on hand to help keep you on track.
Lastly, if you’re on Facebook join my Skinnytaste Facebook Community where everyone’s sharing photos of recipes they are making, you can join here. I’m loving all the ideas everyone’s sharing! If you wish to get on the email list, you can subscribe here so you never miss a meal plan!
