Amazing easy weight loss meal plan for autumn meal ideas
This time of the year can be a bit difficult when it comes to food. It is sometimes sunny and sometimes chucking it down. I have tried to bring you an easy meal plan which is perfect for these miss-match days!
How to use my meal plans
Here are my next meal plans for you as promised. If you missed the last one you can find it here. I know many of you are struggling for time at the moment and want meal plans made for you so do feel free to share them with families and friends or even on social media if you like.
If you follow Slimming World, Weight Watchers (WW), Noom or any other weight loss plan you can usually count the ingredients within these recipes in your allowances. It is of course important to check yourself any plan you follow and remember all nutritional information and ingredients are found in the individual recipe cards.
As before there are two meal plans, a standard one and a vegetarian one. I have tried to make them quite similar so you can adjust accordingly if only one person is vegetarian for example.
If you find having ready-made meal plans helpful for your weight loss then these healthy meal plans are perfect to help you
Are these meal plans for any specific diet?
If you are reading this and not following a specific diet then don’t panic. Anyone can follow this plan, if you are a calorie counter then have a look at each of the recipes where you will find approximate calorie values per portion. If you follow Slimming World, WW, Second Nature or Noom then these recipes are all pretty good on those plans too.
There is no reason anyone can’t enjoy these meals, even children. They are healthy nutritious meals with a great selection of nutrients.
