Become a lean, clean, meal-prepping machine!
If you were waiting for a sign to begin improving your health, this is it. It’s time to make a change! Leave the junk food on the shelf and fill up your shopping cart with ingredients that are going to nourish your body instead of damaging it! Not sure where to begin? This 7-day clean lean diet plan will show you exactly what a healthy diet can look like.
Cleaning Up Your Diet
The first step to cleaning up your diet is to leave processed food where it lies. In its place, focus on lean proteins, healthy fats, fresh fruits and vegetables, and whole grains. If that sounds like gibberish, don’t worry; you’re about to get a crash course in clean eating in this clean lean diet plan:
- The most popular forms of lean protein come from land animals, seafood, dairy, and beans.
- You’ll find healthy fats in nuts, seeds, fish, and even some produce.
- Fresh fruits that are lower in sugar (like berries and melons) are best. You can also incorporate a wide variety of other fruits into your diet, as long as you eat them in moderation.
- Fresh vegetables are always a healthy option, keeping you full for hours while remaining relatively low in calories.
- Finally, whole grains contain complex carbohydrates and are found in foods like oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread.
7-Day Lean and Clean Meal Plan
Now that you have a basic overview of the types of foods you will be eating during this clean lean diet plan, let’s get to the daily clean lean diet plan itself. Below, you’ll find recipes for three meals and one snack per day. This plan will have you eating 1,500 to 1,800 calories daily. The average healthy adult typically falls somewhere within that range when trying to eat for weight loss.
Most of these recipes in the 7-day clean lean diet plan contain more than one serving, so save your leftovers! We reuse them for future meals in the plan. If you are feeding more than just yourself, adjust your shopping list accordingly.
Day 1 — 1558 calories
Day one of this clean lean diet plan is here! I know mushrooms for breakfast may not be everyones cup of tea, so if you need to you can substitute them for a veggie you prefer, especially because we’ll be eating the exact same thing tomorrow!
