If you’re like me, you love to eat but also want to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. That’s why I’ve put together this 1200 calorie meal plan to help you achieve your goals without sacrificing flavor or variety.

It’s packed with nutrient-rich foods and satisfying meals that will keep your taste buds and your waistline happy. Plus, with meal prepping, you’ll save time and money while avoiding the temptation of those pesky vending machines or fast food restaurants.

Ditch the fad diets and start fueling your body with delicious and nutritious meals that prove healthy eating doesn’t have to be boring or bland!

Menu A 

Breakfast

Overhead view of a single disposable meal prep container filled with two protein pancakes, syrup, blueberries, and strawberries.

(Approximately 390 calories)

Protein Pancakes with a side of 1/2 cup berries and 3 tablespoons peanut butter is a much more satiating way to start your day than simply drinking a protein shake.

Lunch

Chicken Tenders Hummus & Veggies Box Recipe

(Approximately 385 calories)

A Grilled Chicken Tenders with hummus & veggies box is my absolute favorite office lunch. I grill all of my chicken tenders every Sunday and then I’m good to go for the work week – it’s so quick and easy!

Dinner

Overhead of three glass meal prep containers. Each is filled with a white fish fillet, mixed vegetables, and quinoa.

(Approximately 380 calories)

This Fish Meal Prep featuring halibut is packed with protein and quite low in fat. It utilizes one of my favorite shortcuts – using pre-packaged frozen vegetables as one of the sides.

Menu B

Breakfast

Protein Breakfast Box

(Approximately 330 calories)

When I’m short on time to prep, Protein Breakfast Boxes save the day! All I have to do is hard-boil some eggs in the Instant Pot, then portion out the store-bought ingredients.

Lunch

Tuna Meal Prep Recipe

(Approximately 280 calories)

Canned Tuna is a classic meal prep because it’s both time and budget-friendly. Add a slice of whole wheat bread (+70 calories approx.) or 10 wheat crackers (+90 calories approx.) to create a lunch that will keep you full for hours.

Dinner

(Approximately 400 calories)

For dinner, make this Buffalo Chicken Meal Prep that tastes just like wings – but with more protein and a lot less fat!
