4-Week Meal Plan to Lose Weight

We definitely recommend utilizing leftovers during this 4-week meal plan. It’s great to cook your meals from scratch, but that doesn’t mean you have to spend hours prepping in the kitchen every day! Choose a few breakfast, lunch, and dinner options each week and get your shopping out of the way on Saturday or Sunday. Then, prep what you can and reheat the leftovers as the week goes on.

There are enough recipes on this list that you won’t repeat any meal more than twice during the 4-week period, but feel free to make your favorites every week! Let us know in the comments which recipes you can’t live without.
