No Sugar Challenge Meals Calendar
Welcome To The No Sugar Challenge Meals Calendar!
I recently asked some of you what type of meal plan “layout” you would find easiest to use for the No Sugar Challenge. While many of you chose to have a “list” set up where you could just pick from different suggestions, some of you also wanted a day-to-day calendar layout. So, I created this No Sugar Challenge Meals Calendar.
Obviously, feel free to substitute things where you like. This is not written in stone.
Please Note: These are simply sample meal plans I put together off the top of my head. I don’t claim that they are at all specific to your particular nutrient needs. Please make adjustments where you need them. These are just outlines.
Also, many of these dishes will give you lots of leftovers, especially if you’re only cooking for 1 or 2 people. So use those leftovers for other meals so you don’t have to cook so much. Because honestly, if you try to cook everything on these menus, you’ll drive yourself crazy. Then you’ll get mad at me, and the whole thing could get ugly. So please, be kind to yourself. This doesn’t have to be hard.
Enjoy!

Do you know about how many calories this is a day? Does it not matter, even if you are looking for weight lost?
Jahna – It’s totally up to you based on the portions you eat.
oops… one more question. I just saw the list for CLean Eaters, No sugar challenge. Is this one not clean? I am new to the Clean Eating, so not entirely sure just yet.
Jahna – Everything on my web site is clean.
I just started to look into this no sugar diet meal plan and I keep seeing over and over to not eat bananas – but your second meal for breakfast has bananas in it! Why?
Jillian – I’ve never heard of avoiding bananas. I know they are higher in sugar, but if you are following MY no-sugar challenge, you are allowed 2-3 pieces of fruit per day. My challenge focuses on avoiding ADDED sugar. But if you are following somebody else’s challenge, I can’t vouch for that.
I noticed you have peanut butter on your list of eats….. I have not yet found a peanut butter or an almond butter that does not have some sort of sweetener in it. Have you found one? Can you tell me where you located it?
Handsdownfaith – Yes, I have a list here: https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/what-is-clean-peanut-butter/
Hi,
I’ve been mulling over doing the No Sugar Challenge and I think I’ve reached a point where I have to. I do have a question: you list in the menus egg whites. Is this just plain cooked egg whites, or egg whites with salsa, or peppers, or onions/leeks or….? What’s the best way to cook them? I’ve tried before and it was a disaster! Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.
KarenMac – Sorry, I should have clarified that better. They were hard boiled. Although, if you want to eat the whole egg, that’s not terrible either. If I had created this plan now, I probably would have said to eat the entire egg. But follow your preference.
