7 Day Meal Guide


How many times a week do you ask yourself what you should cook for dinner? Meal planning is a great way to save money while getting a healthy meal on the table each day. When it comes to eating clean, planning is vital.  If you don't have a meal planned when you get hungry, you will be easily tempted by the easiness of cooking fast processed food.

I have created a 7 day plan for you so that you can get an overall idea of what types of food you are meant to eat and at what times.

Try have protein with every meal. Eating enough protein helps preserve muscle mass and encourages fat burning while keeping you feeling full. Every second day try have no carbs with your breakfast and only allow yourself carbs one evening a week.This is to keep the body guessing and promotes fat-loss.

As you see below, the food is quite simple. That is what clean eating is about-simple, natural foods.
