How It Works
Use the menu as a flexible framework rather than a strict prescription.
Check Protein Estimates
Protein amounts are approximate, use cooked weights, and should give way to product labels.
Eat to Appetite
Add fruit, vegetables, grains, sauces, and fats according to your hunger and needs.
Keep It Flexible
Repeat favorites, use similar-protein swaps, and skip any ingredient or optional snack you do not want.
Know the Average
The menu averages about 99 g daily before snacks and about 106 g with them, with most days between 90 and 115 g.
Leave Calories Open
The plan does not prescribe a calorie target.
Prep and Storage
Set aside 60 to 90 minutes once to make the week easier.
Batch the Basics
Cook lentils and quinoa, hard-boil eggs, bake chicken and turkey meatballs, roast vegetables, mix one dressing, and portion everything.
Chill Early Meals
Refrigerate the components for Days 1 through 4.
Freeze Later Meals
Freeze the Day 5 through 7 chicken, turkey, lentil, and quinoa portions, then thaw them two days before use.
Cook Salmon Fresh
Prepare salmon fresh on Days 2 and 6, making an extra Day 2 portion for Day 4 lunch.
Use Leftovers Promptly
Finish leftovers within three to four days.
