How to use this plan

Anchor each meal

Choose a practical protein such as chicken, eggs, tuna, lentils, beans, yogurt, or tofu.

Add simple sides

Pair proteins with rice, potatoes, tortillas, pasta, greens, or roasted vegetables.

Plan easy repeats

Use cooked protein in bowls, wraps, salads, and quick dinners across the week.

Substitutions

Prep and leftovers

Prep notes

  • Keep eggs, tuna, yogurt, tofu, or chicken as the meal anchor.
  • Batch-cook grains so protein can change without rebuilding the plan.

Later

Leftover moves

  • Pack extra chicken or tuna into wraps.
  • Use yogurt bowls as breakfast or snack coverage.
