TJ's Printable THM Friendly Menu Plan Week 7 • TJ's Taste

Suffering from the dreaded what’s-for-breakfast rush, the afternoon what-are-we-having worry, or the six-o’clock scramble? Find some meal plan inspiration in my incredible, printable, THM friendly Menu Plan Week 7!

This week we have the Awards Ceremony for my kids’ Awana program, so it will be the last night for a pre-made meal at church! I do not yet know what will be served, but once I do I will plan accordingly. If it is something that works on plan (even if it is an XO), I will just enjoy it. If it does not work on plan, I will pack a sandwich or a salad and bring it along.

About My Menu Plan Week 7

My Family

In the menu plan below, I list what I have planned for myself that is Trim Healthy Mama friendly (labeled S, E, FP, etc.). My hubby usually eats breakfast from the cafeteria at his work and leftovers for lunch then, for dinner, he eats whatever I make plus sometimes a few extras to make the meal a Crossover.

My kids often eat something similar to what I have yet different for breakfast (for example, on days I have fried eggs, I’ll make them “egg in a nest” as they call it, which is a hole in sprouted bread then an egg cooked in the middle). Lunch they often have leftovers or make themselves sandwiches. And for dinner, they eat what we eat plus I often ensure there is some kind of extra side to make it a Crossover for them.

Beverages

The only beverage I really mention in my menu plans is my Butter Coffee (and that’s only because that’s what serves as my once weekly “breakfast” on Sunday when we’re rushing out the door to get to church). Otherwise, I leave drinks up to the moment. Usually I drink water (often flavored with something), but I also upon occasion (not every day) enjoy a mug of coffee with homemade creamer for breakfast, oolong tea for lunch, or a can of Zevia soda. I basically aim to drink one gallon of non-caffeinated water-based drinks per day.

Fuel Sources

	description2
Satisfying - Healthy fats as primary fuel source, low in carbs.	S-Helper - Healthy fats as primary fuel source, a little higher in carbs.
Energizing - Healthy carbs as primary fuel source, low in fat.	Fuel Pull - Lower in both healthy carbs and healthy fats.
Crossover - Higher in both healthy fats and healthy carbs.

Below each meal, there is a letter (or more) in a colorful circle. These are based off the premises of Trim Healthy Mama. You can learn more about each of these letters on my intro to Trim Healthy Mama page here.

Please keep in mind that the S, E, FP, and XO icons indicate what the fuel source of the OVERALL MEAL is. A meal can have an S food item plus an FP food item, but the whole meal is an S.

If there is more than one fuel type label (example, S, E, and FP) in a single meal, you can sway the fuel type based on ingredients you use. For example, tacos. Tacos are FP if you use lean ground turkey and only add non-starchy veggies; S if you use full fat hamburger and lots of cheese; or E if you use lean ground turkey and lots of beans and starchy veggies.

Shopping List

A long time ago, I used to put in the effort it took to create a shopping list for each of my menu plans. However, after polling readers, I discovered that a vast majority of them never even looked at the shopping list! This was mostly because readers would sometimes use what I had listed, and sometimes not. So the list became tedious to navigate for them. Therefore, I decided to cut that stress from my life by no longer providing the shopping list.

However, if you would like to create a shopping list, you can using my website’s built-in Recipe Box & Menu Planner.
