Daily Menus

Share

Please know that these daily menus are not based on specific nutrient ratios. They are meant to be suggestions or outlines, and will not be tailored to your specific dietary needs. I am not a dietitian (yet) and I cannot possibly foresee what your personal dietary needs are. So use these menu suggestions wisely and appropriately.

NOTE: For many of the menus below, I only list 5 meals. That is my preference. If you find you need a sixth meal, please include it in your eating plan.

    Your page is phenomenal…just started the clean eating a few weeks ago, need to lose weight and change our crappy eating lifestyle and your website has become a recipe bible of sorts for me, so thank-you.
    A few questions…..you say you avoid the 6th meal? I find I need that 6th meal so I won’t go and eat something ugly….??? Do you think it is better to avoid it? I am not quite following the cooler programs, just eating the 5 or 6 meals a day , clean with a carb/protein combo at every meal.Haven’t quite started to do excercise yet…a bit, but starting to plan that this week. When do you think you will notice a change?

  • http://www.thegraciouspantry.com The Gracious Pantry

    Shari – If you need that 6th meal, by all means, eat it! It’s important, especially in the beginning while your body is adjusting. You will feel a different in the first few days, once you get past the cravings. You will see a difference in several weeks. Congrats!

  • Heygirlsshoes

    please make a recipe for clean mac and cheese. would love to see what you come up with.

    Heygirl – I would, but I can’t have dairy. Honestly, I would just melt some low fat cheddar with some non-fat milk and see what happens. It could work!

  • Kendra

    I want to start out by saying that I love your site! I’m just starting to eat clean and was having trouble coming up with 5-6 meals a day. These meal plans definitely helped. I was wondering if u could put up a few more.

    Shellness – Welcome to clean eating!

    Kristin – My rule of thumb is 1/4 cup nuts (of any kind), as many egg whites as I want to keep me full, and about 3-4 whole eggs per week. But that’s what works for me. Your needs may be different.

    Amber – Calorie counts are a very individual thing. I recommend that you see a dietitian to help you figure out what is right for you calorically. They can crunch the numbers for you.

  • graciouspantry

    Jedoublen – It depends on what you are trying to substitute for. Are you talking about snacks? Specific recipes?

  • graciouspantry

    Ashley – Normally, it’s protein and carb at every meal. But you want a good portion of those carbs to come from veggies.
