Hey there,
Anyone have any suggestions on where to find meal plans already created? I enjoy cooking, and don't mind doing the shopping, I just HATE to figure out what to have! Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Have you tried googling "meal plans"? I found tons of ideas for a 1400 calorie menu plan just by googling "1400 calorie meal/menu plans"

    Search the internet for whatever your calorie goal meal plan. "1200 calorie meal plan" for example. You'll probably get a day or a weekly plans but there are many out there so you could copy several.
    Skinnytaste.com has dinner meal plans by the week I believe.
    Sparkpeople will give you full day complete meal plans. You will have to have an account and set up your goals though. It is is free to do that though.

    I have my monthly meal plan and recipes for dinners on my blog. https://lounmoun.wordpress.com/
    I do not plan out breakfast, lunch and snacks because I eat the same things for those most of the time. My diary is open.

    Breakfast- Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit (about 200-300 calories)
    Lunch- sandwich, salad, or dinner leftovers (about 300-500 calories)
    Dinner- something different every night of the month. (about 500-600 calories) I have soup once a week usually.
    Snacks- things like fruit, chips, popcorn, pretzels, chocolate, cookies, granola bar, carrots, celery, broccoli, trail mix, deviled eggs, pickles (about 100-300 calories)

    I find food ideas on Pinterest a lot.

    I'm gonna check out all these sites! Wanted to share this new app I'm using "AnyList". It will download recipes from online & store them & turn ingredients into a shopping list. So you can select what you want to make for the week super easy :)
