Here is our current meal plan! I revamped our original simple menu plan to include more THM-friendly and farm-fresh foods! Plus, a meal plan makes it easier for my poor, burnt-out brain when deciding what’s for dinner!

These meals allow me (and my family) to eat Trim Healthy Mama and are dairy and peanut-free for our two sons’ allergies. I will ensure my kids get a “crossover” each meal by adding a carb (potato/grain) for them. I allow myself crossovers about once a day since I am in “maintenance mode” when it comes to my weight, and I still eat THM for my health.

These are mostly whole foods and easy to make. Remember that we thrive on routine and repetition at our house, so rotating simple meals works great for us!

I have implemented the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle to some extent since I first discovered it in 2013. I have been eating 99% on plan as a THM since January 2020 and have never felt healthier! Not only did I lose the extra weight I was carrying around since giving birth to my last(8th) baby in 2014, but my energy is up, and my brain is clearer – praise the Lord! You can follow along and see what I eat HERE.

7-Day Meal Plan For A Trim Healthy Mama Family

Monday – Mexican. Ground beef soft tacos and bean burritos (using beans I make with my Instant Pot each week). I will have a low-carb tortilla (I use this kind and get them from Fred Meyer) with ground beef, chopped tomatoes, onions, avocado, Greek yogurt, and taco sauce. My husband has a crossover with soft corn tortillas. My children have flour tortillas. This is a family favorite, and we’ve been eating this once a week for years.

Tuesday – Meat & Potatoes. Usually, meatballs/loaf with oven-roasted potatoes and veggies. Occasionally, Instant Pot beef roast or slow-roasted mutton/pork roast with some potatoes and a veggie (as simple as canned green beans to sauteed mushrooms, spinach, onions, brussels sprouts).

Wednesday – Random. Rabbit, Chicken, or leftover roast with Asian stir-fried veggies (broccoli, carrots, peas, onions, etc.) – and rice for husband/kids. Or, any other meat we have on hand for another night of tacos – because tacos are easy and loved by all.

Thursday – Southwestern. Lentil and beef chili in the Instant Pot, or taco-baked potatoes.

Friday – Italian/Date Night. Brown Rice or Dreamfields Pasta with ground beef & pasta sauce for kids. And, a dinner date at home for us; homemade THM pizza or grilled steak with salad.

Saturday/Sunday Meals

These are a little more special since my husband is home. We almost always have hamburgers for Saturday lunch, and a light, snacky supper on Sunday, but supper on Saturday and lunch on Sunday vary.

• Hamburger patties, THM coleslaw, & hamburger buns for kids. I like to top my (bunless) hamburger patty with sauteed onions, spinach, mayo, cheese, etc.
• Slow-roasted lamb/mutton or pork raised on our farm. We add potatoes – mashed, oven-roasted, baked, etc. Salad or coleslaw.
• Grilled beef steaks, cottage cheese, & homemade fries.
• Instant Pot pork roast soft tacos with raw shredded cabbage, pico de Gallo, green onions, and avocado/cilantro dressing. I will use a low-carb tortilla.

Breakfast Meal Plan

• My breakfast is almost always bullet-proof coffee, which is as simple as coffee, THM integral collagen, stevia drops, and half & half… or as gourmet as adding maca powder, coconut oil/butter, and other nutrient-packed deliciousness. This frother takes the bullet-proof coffee up a notch on the yumminess scale!
• My kids have a choice of hard-boiled (IP steamed) eggs, oatmeal with pure maple syrup, bananas and/or frozen fruit (blueberries & strawberries), and dairy-free smoothies.
• On Sundays, my husband makes a big breakfast, which includes meat, eggs, and potato hash browns.

Weekday Lunches

I often have a loaded salad with hard-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, nuts, etc., topped with raw ACV, olive oil, nutritional yeast, salt, and pepper.

Other lunches I may eat are:

• THM noodles in a broth made with nutritional yeast, coconut aminos, gelatin, and hot sauce – and eat “ramen noodles” with cheese slices – or, I heat the noodles in tomato sauce, salt, pepper, and then drink a protein smoothie.
• Lunch meat (or leftover meat) and cheese wrapped in a low-carb tortilla with mustard.
• A very simple & easy homemade cheese pizza on an egg+almond flour crust with tomato paste, mozzarella cheese, and then a side of cottage cheese for protein.

My kids have a freshly made (soaked) whole wheat sandwich bun and egg or tuna salad with fresh fruit and/or veggies. About 1-2 weekday lunches are leftovers or homemade fried rice (made with leftover meat, eggs, peas, rice, seasonings, and coconut aminos).

My husband eats hard-boiled eggs (protein+fat), homemade mini fruit pies(fat+carbs), and a baked egg, zucchini, and meat casserole cut into squares(protein+fat) as his main lunch food every weekday. These are all 100% on-plan as THM – even the fruit pies, since I make them by soaking/fermenting the whole wheat pie crust for 24 hours. The filling is simply fruit and raw honey. The fruit is homegrown from our farm, and the honey is sourced locally.
