5 Day 21 Day Fix Meal Plan for Summer

Prepping our meal plan today to start the 21 Day fix on Monday with hubby!  Beach days are coming and we both want to feel confident and comfortable in shorts and swim suits so it's time to crack down and do this thang!  

Heading the the grocery store shortly and I'm making my list based off my meal plan for the next 5 days.  

I use my 21 Day Fix Tally Sheet that I created which makes our meal planning so much easier!  

You can just print it off and either slide it into a page protector so that you can write each days meal plan out or you can print off 5 and write down each days on the paper.  I personally like to have each day pre-written down so I'm planning to get 5 page protectors so that I can reuse them but still have my days planned in advance.  

This week I will be doing the 21 Day Fix Extreme workouts and following the regular meal plan. I love the intensity of the workouts but I prefer the regular less restrictive meal plan. I find if I restrict too much then I just don't stick to it.  

Here is this weeks Meal plan...
