How We Create Meal Plans

Registered dietitians thoughtfully create EatingWell’s meal plans to be easy-to-follow and delicious. Each meal plan meets specific parameters depending on the health condition and/or lifestyle goal it is targeting and is analyzed for accuracy using the nutrition database, ESHA Food Processor. As nutritional needs differ from person to person, we encourage you to use these plans as inspiration and adjust as you see fit.

Clean-Eating Meal Plan for Beginners

If you're new to clean eating, the premise is simple, and following a meal plan—or simply using it for inspiration—can make it even easier to understand what it's all about. Clean eating is a great way to up your intake of good-for-you foods, like whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats and plenty of fruits and veggies, while limiting the stuff that can make you feel not-so-great in large amounts, like refined carbs, alcohol, added sugars and hydrogenated fats.

Here at EatingWell, we approach clean eating sensibly. While all foods can be part of a healthy diet, sometimes you just need to hit reset and focus on eating more of the healthy foods you may be skimping on. With 14 days of wholesome meals and snacks, this easy-to-follow clean-eating meal plan is a great way to get more of those good-for-you foods.

If 14 days feel like too much, start with our 3-Day Clean Eating Kick-Start Meal Plan and go from there. Once you conquer this 14-day plan, try our 30 Days of Whole Foods Challenge, where you can plan to eat tons of delicious whole foods, like what you'll find in this meal plan.

Week 1

How to Meal Prep Your Week of Meals

A little prep at the beginning of the week goes a long way to make the rest of the week easy.

1. Meal prep the Spinach & Feta Turkey Meatballs with Herbed Quinoa to have for lunch on Days 2 through 5. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for the week.
2. Make a double batch of the Lemon-Tahini Dressing. You'll use it throughout the week for lunch and dinner. Store in a sealed glass container in the refrigerator.
3. Cook a double batch of the Easy Brown Rice to use throughout the week. Store in a large glass meal-prep container. Because Day 1's dinner—the Kale Salad with Beets & Wild Rice—calls for wild rice, you can choose to either prep a bigger batch of wild rice or swap in brown rice in the recipe so you don't have to make two different kinds of rice.
