This Clean-Eating Menu Plan is from Kim of BeachReadyNow.com.
When it comes to sticking to a clean eating regimen, it’s a great idea to plan a week of meals all at once. Be sure to incorporate as many foods you enjoy already instead of trying to force yourself to try too many new things at once. Allow yourself to have some of the things you love, just in smaller portions (I have wine on my list). The easier you make it on yourself, the better you’ll do. Next, create your grocery list. Clean eating doesn’t have to be expensive! I got all of the items shown above for just $57 at ALDI (which is somewhat similar to WinCo in the Pacific Northwest).
This is my tentative meal plan for the 7-Day Clean Eating Challenge. I say tentative because I will allow myself to substitute things if I want to, but only if they fit in with my goals and objectives. My plan is based on eating family meals in the evening and cooking just for myself during the day. I also am heavy on lean protein as I’m trying to increase my muscle mass. Be sure to take your own dietary goals and restrictions into account when creating your own clean eating meal plan. This isn’t meant as a one-size-fits-all diet.
