Week One of the 21 Day Fix diet is DONE! And you know what? It wasn’t awful – if anything it was very manageable. Since I kept hearing amazing things about this program, as a non-beachbody coach I really wanted to try this program out and give an unbiased review.
If you just want my 21 Day Fix Meal Plan – skip to the bottom of this post. Promise I’m not offended!
So many of the reviews I read were from coaches, which is great, but I never knew if they were telling the “whole truth” just to sell the program. (Coaches – please – don’t take offense to this. I know there are great amazing beachbody coaches out there. You all rock. I think it’s great you are inspiring others to be healthy.)
And you know what? I truly feel like people were being very honest when they said anyone could do this plan. Really, the food was the hardest part, but with planning even that wasn’t hard.
I fell into the 1800-2099 calorie food plan on the 21 day fix diet and honestly I had a really REALLY hard time eating as much as it called for. Most days I ended up a meal short or at least a carb short, and I certainly was not hungry in the least bit. I kept my week one meal plan really simple, and meal prepping made it easy to grab an alternative meal if I wasn’t feeling into what I had scheduled/planned to eat.

I was bad about taking pictures of every meal every day, but here is a pretty good idea of what my meals looked like and how big they were. Like I said – I was NEVER hungry.
For Meal Prep I did the following:
- Boiled Quinoa
- Roasted Veggies
- Cooked Chicken Breasts
- Cooked Ground Beef
- Sliced/Diced my raw veggies
- Put berries/fruit at eye site in fridge
Another thing I did was set an alarm on my phone to remind me to eat. Yes, I seriously need a reminder. Part of my weight gain is that I would be busy all day, and then once I finally realized it I was so hungry I’d make poor choices.
So yeah – Meal Planning and Meal Prep are probably the two biggest things you can set yourself up for success with this program.
Plus I’m down 3 lbs this week!! #Winning!
I will talk more about the workouts in my week 2 recap. Here is my 21 Day Fix Meal Plan for week 2. I kept it simple again. I adjusted what didn’t work last week, and made sure I had no heavy meals after my workout.

Again: I am not using Shakeology. I couldn’t afford it at this time. I’m using either my Isopure zero carb proteinfollow or my Vega meal replacementfollow when you see protein mentioned.

I need to work out a meal plan for nutrition. Often I skip meals, which leads to omitting necessary fruits and veggies. Your plan looks delicious!
I think as long as you have a meal plan, you will be golden. It is that last minute person, like me, who just looked at the cups with confusion. LOL… You sound to be doing great and like you have this clearly under control 🙂
Having a laid out meal plan is the key to success with any new diet plan. Sounds like you have an amazing plan set up!
I am trying my own 21 Day Fix too! I love the versatility of this menu and diet plan.

Love your meal plan looks great. However you have one error in your prep. In that calorie bracket, you are only allowed 5 teaspoons, not tablespoons. That measurement could really throw off your calories and results.
