April Meal Plan ❤️‍🔥🌺

This month, my goal is to eat well, focusing on whole foods, variety, and enjoyment, all while meeting my protein and calorie targets (110g+ protein, and 1800-1900kcal).

The plans below are how my husband and I will stay organized for our cooking and grocery shopping. Dinner and weekend foods will change week to week, but I included our plan for this first week of April. There is also a grocery list included at the end.

Happy April, and Happy Easter!!
