A full week of high protein, high fiber meals for a family of four, built around lean proteins and plants instead of the freezer aisle. Every meal carries at least one fruit or vegetable. Below the plan, a set of prep habits to make the week actually happen.
Seven days, three meals each, built so most lunches come from the night before instead of a separate cook. Dinners are sized to leave leftovers on purpose, then lunch the next day is mostly reheating or a five minute assembly. Monday lunch is the one exception, since there's no leftover to draw on yet. Swap days around freely, the flow matters more than the order.

A meal plan only works if the week cooperates. These are the habits that make high protein, high fiber eating hold up against practices, homework, and everything else on the calendar.
