5 Day Meal Plan with Grocery List

Hey y'all! I've completed 4 rounds of the 21 Day Fix. So far I've lost 15 pounds and I've gained a lot of strength (and confidence!). The exercise of putting together a 5 day meal plan was a bit eye-opening for me. I realized that I've been generalizing quite a bit. However, those small changes (to breakfast for example) really alters the number or carbs and proteins for the day. The ideas below offer slightly different daily plans but the container totals are the same. I hope that these help you to develop a plan that works best for you! Here we go:
