Free 7-Day Healthy Meal Plan (July 6-12)
Can you say HEAT WAVE?? Summer heat is upon us and staying hydrated is more important than ever. Our bodies lose water quickly through sweat, so it is essential to drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Instead of waiting until you’re thirsty, keep a water bottle nearby, add fresh fruit like lemons, limes, and berries for added flavor, and keep water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, and strawberries nearby to help you stay hydrated.
The last thing anyone wants to do on a hot day is turning on the oven! This Tuna White Bean Salad and Italian Sub Salad is protein-packed, flavorful, and an easy recipe to prepare without heating up the kitchen, making it perfect for lunch, dinner, or meal prep on the hottest summer days.
If you’re new to my meal plans, I’m sharing a free 7-day flexible healthy eating plan (you can see my previous meal plans here) as a guide. There’s plenty of wiggle room. for you add more foodYou can change the recipe to your desired menu, such as coffee, beverage, fruit, snack, dessert, or wine, or search for recipes by course in the index. Depending on your goals, you should aim for at least 1,500 calories* per day. There is no one size fits all and it depends on your goals, age, weight, etc.
