Healthy Weekly Meal Plan (January 9-15)

7 Day Healthy Weekly Meal Plan

We’re back with another healthy weekly meal plan for January!

You may notice that my meals are pretty repetitive for breakfast and lunch. I do this purposely because it’s easier for me to plan and prep.

Less planning and less prep makes it easier for me to stick to it and it also means less ingredients to buy at the store each week.

I also prep a batch of hard boiled eggs on Sunday afternoon. That way they’re already cooked and ready to go throughout the week.

Bake the pumpkin muffins while you’re making the eggs!

Meal Prep Tools

Rice cooker

Dutch oven

skillet

roasting pan

slow cooker

Fresh Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries
Clementines or Seedless Mandarin Oranges
Bananas
Snack Size Bags of LesserEvil Himalayan Pink Salt Organic Popcorn (100 calories/bag)

Hello! My name is Sharon (my friends call me Shay!) and I’m the creator of Lowcalicious. I follow a CICO (calories in, calories out) diet but it’s not really a diet at all. It’s just the basic principle of eating what I want in moderation as long as it fits my daily calorie budget.

CICO is most commonly followed to eat in a calorie deficit for weight loss but is also great for maintaining and bulking. While I don’t precisely count Macros, I personally prioritize protein in my day-to-day eating since I’m strength training and am actively working on gaining muscle and losing fat.
