Meal Plan for Weight Loss

We aren’t doing our normal WTCW today…don’t worry though, it will be back at its regularly scheduled time next week after the blogiversary celebration is all done.

I couldn’t go an entire week without sharing some recipes with you though. This week, I’m focusing on meal plans for weight loss since that is very high on my priority list right now.

Let’s take a look at some of the awesome ideas out there for low calorie and health conscious recipes.

Skinny Taste is my go-to source for healthy meals that I know will also help me focus on my weight loss goals. She specializes in recipes that are full of flavor but won’t break the calorie “bank”.

How does recipes like pulled pork bbq sandwiches, Asian cabbage mango slaw, bangin good shrimp and Asian edamame fried rice sound?

Another great source for healthy meals for me is Kalyn’s Kitchen.  She focuses a lot on the South Beach and Atkins diet but her recipes can easily be used for any healthy eating plan.
Southwestern Quinoa Salad with Black Beans, Red Bell Pepper, and Cilantro
This is one of my absolute favorite recipes from her site.  It is so filling but very healthy and light on the calories and fat.
She also features some amazing desserts that are pretty easy on the waistline too.  I am such a sweets junkie that having options for dessert is so important when planning my meals.

Mini pumpkin cheesecakes are low sugar but oh so delicious.  I am even able to skip the whipped cream and save some more calories.

So, how do you plan in healthy meals to help with your weight loss (or even weight maintenance) goals?  Do you have a favorite website or cook book that you use?  I’d love to hear any additional ideas you all have for meal plans for weight loss.

  1. These all look delicious! My main issue is snacking, so at the beginning of the week I chop up veg like carrot, cucumber and celery and store in little boxes in the fridge then when I fancy a snack I can go for these instead of chocolate of crisps. It doesn’t always work (sometimes you ‘need’ chocolate!) but I feel a lot healthier since starting that.

  3. I really love to eat especially sweets but i can’t help but still eating it but I started drinking kombucha because I thought it was plain delicious – not really even thinking of the health benefits. I DID lose weight. and so adorable!
