Juicy turkey meatballs paired with roasted vegetables or a small portion of pasta.
Thursday: Stir-Fried Beef or Tofu

Friday: Fish Tacos (or Bowls)

Weekend Option: Protein-Packed Comfort Food
Think healthier versions of favorites like bowls, chicken pie, chili, or baked casseroles — focus on more of the good stuff (chicken, beans, meat etc, and less of the carbs like rice, pasta and potatoes) still high in protein, just easier on the body.
