We’ve designed it based on member feedback, and the goal is to make losing weight as easy as possible. Rather than lots of different recipes that require more time and preparation, here we’ve selected our easiest, assembly-style meals that use just a few shortcut ingredients and simple flavors.  \nWhat to expect from the menu  \n Few shortcut ingredients  \nYou’ll notice a short ingredients list with most meals including less than 5 ingredients. We’ve also repeated ingredients across multiple meals to keep the grocery list short and reduce food waste. We’ve kept the prep work to a minimum by using convenient shortcut ingredients like preprepared veggies, salad and stir-fry mixes, and pre-cooked protein. Lookout for supermarket specials on these shortcut items and feel free to opt for the variety that is well-priced each week.  \n Assembly-style meals with simple flavors  \nThis menu was specifically designed with simplicity in mind. The recipes are quick and easy with basic cooking methods, short cooking times and simple flavors. If you're happy eating the same meals on repeat and are OK with simple flavors, this is a great meal plan to start with. But, if you're a foodie who loves lots of variety and loves to cook, you may prefer one of our other menus such as the Mediterranean or the Original Mayo Clinic Diet Meal Plan. You can preview all the meal plan options under Account & Settings.  \n Ability to swap meals and ingredients  \nIf you prefer to have less repetition and more variety, simply click the “Swap” button to customize your meal plan. You are also free to substitute ingredients within each food group. For example, if you prefer bran flakes to muesli for your Carbohydrate serving at breakfast – swap it! Or if you enjoy your cereal with yogurt instead of milk, simply replace it. If you don't like sandwiches every day, go ahead and rotate between bread, wraps or crackers. You are also free to choose whatever variety of salad or stir-fry vegetables blend you like. Just remember to stick to your recommended food group servings, and if you eat the toppings, dressing, or sauces included in the veggie bags don't forget to add them to your tracker.  \n© 2022 Mayo Clinic Diet Page 2 of 20  \nMeal Plan  \n\n|  | Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner | Snack |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Wed, Jul 6 | Berries with yogurt & cereal | Tuna mayo & cucumber sandwich | Rotisserie chicken with kale salad mix | Vegetables & fruits |\n| Thu, Jul 7 | Banana & peanut butter toast with milk | Rotisserie chicken sandwich | White fish with sweet kale salad mix & rice | Vegetables & fruits |\n| Fri, Jul 8 | Berries with yogurt & cereal | Tuna mayo & cucumber sandwich | Rotisserie chicken with kale salad mix | Vegetables & fruits |\n| Sat, Jul 9 | Banana & peanut butter toast with milk | Grilled cheddar & tomato sandwich | Simple hoisin beef stirfry | Vegetables & fruits |\n| Sun, Jul 10 | Berries with yogurt & cereal | Rotisserie chicken sandwich | White fish with sweet kale salad mix & rice | Vegetables & fruits |\n| Mon, Jul 11 | Scrambled egg on toast | Grilled cheddar & tomato sandwich | Leftover Simple hoisin beef stir-fry | Vegetables & fruits |\n| Tue, Jul 12 | Banana & peanut butter toast with milk | Leftover Simple hoisin beef lunch stir-fry | Cheese & spinach omelet | Vegetables & fruits |\n\n© 2022 Mayo Clinic Diet  \nPage 3 of 20  \nPrep steps and tips for this week  \nHere’s your checklist to help you prepare for the week:  \n1.

You can also use the search function to find other recipes to add to your meal plan.  \n2. Shop for all the ingredients. Review the Grocery List at the end of this PDF or on the website.
