Pinch me. I’m dreaming. I’ve worked for months to bring this family-friendly and macro-focused monthly meal plan subscription to you, and it’s finally here! And I’m so excited to be able to finally tell you all about it…
Because we all know that feeding a family and macro-counting at the same time can feel like a lot. I’m hoping this meal plan will help meal planning and macro-counting easier for you.
Meet the NEW Monthly Meal Plan
Okay, here’s how it works…
You will use the web-based app via computer or phone (see how to do this under my meal plan stories on Instagram) to receive a customized dinner meal plan for your whole family that’s designed to maximize your dollar and make feeding your family while macro-counting easier.
The plan will be based on how I meal prep and plan for my own family. Typically, we make a bulk protein to use in 2-3 meals a week, and then fill in the gaps with easy, one-dish, or quick meals (you can learn more about that here).
If the meal plan uses a dinner or protein that you don’t like, the app makes it easy to swap out the protein and/or recipe and replace it with one of the other 200 recipes I have uploaded to the database. All the recipes are either new, from my cookbooks, or from my blog (and there will be more to come).
You can also set how many servings of each meal you need in the app settings to make it the perfect amount for your family every time.
After you have confirmed your meal plan for the week, you can print out everything you’ll need to make it happen (meal plan, recipes, grocery list, etc.). Then, if you order groceries online (I usually do mine at Walmart), you can auto-generate the grocery list (cross off what you already have) and send it to select grocery stores near you! So easy.

Common FAQ’s
After announcing this monthly meal plan on Instagram, there were a few common questions that people had. I thought I would answer a few of those here–just in case you were wondering the same.
How Much Does the Monthly Meal Plan Cost?
At the launch, the meal plan will cost $12 a month. If you buy 3 months at a time, you can get it for $30 ($10 a month).
What meals come with the meal plan?
Right now it is a dinner-only meal plan! I feel like that’s the hardest puzzle piece in the day to be prepared and keep your family happy while also hitting your goals.
But in the future, there might be an option to include breakfast and or lunch. It would, of course, be a simple upgrade, if you’re already a meal plan subscriber.
You can easily remove dinners if you don’t need all five that week and it will reflect in your grocery list. You can also remove a dinner or protein and add a different recipe of your choosing.
For now, you can also tell the web-based app to make an extra serving in your settings, so that you can enjoy the leftovers for lunch (if you want to).
How many calories are in each dinner?
Dinners are usually close to 400 cal and 40 g of protein, and with the help of that bulk-prepped protein each week, you’ll find it very easy to add more protein to fill in any gaps in your day! This is key to really hitting those numbers.
These are dinners that will definitely help you hit your protein, while keeping carbs and fats low. There might be a suggested carb source on the side for those who want a nice round meal, or for your family, but often in a way that’s easy for you to remove if you want to keep your dinner more low-carb.
Does it track macros?
It will give you precise measurements and macros per serving. So it’s really easy to track. However, you do still have to plug it in one of your trackers of choice–My Fitness Pal, Lose It, or Macros First.
Like all of my cookbooks and recipes, this is already pre-logged for you. All you have to do is search it and weigh it!
Is this Macro-focused Monthly Meal Plan Subscription Gluten-free and Dairy-Free?
Not officially. But since I’ve done my fair share of eating gluten and dairy-free, you’ll often see notes offering easy swaps if needed.
Macro-focused Monthly Meal Plan Subscription
Okay, what I’d miss? I hope this meal plan is as exciting to you as it is to me! This has been something that I’ve wanted to do for years and actually had a lot of requests for it too.
With this new meal plan subscription, whether you’re feeding yourself or a family of 10, you can adjust the servings you want to make just the right amount of food and buy just the right amount of groceries and everything will be calculated for you!
It’ll take the brain work out of meal-planning dinners and macro-counting for your entire family. Making it easier to meet your goals with less stress and feed your family healthy, balanced meals without the headache.

Everything is so good! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have looked at so many other meal plans over the years and they either included recipes that my family would not want to eat, or they used ingredients that were too specialized or expensive.
Enter Lillie and her macro-based meal plan. Using regular, seasonal ingredients, this meal prep is full of delicious, yet healthy meals that my whole family loves! I especially love the idea of bulk protein and using that protein throughout the week in a variety of yummy ways.
While I may not be spending less at the groceey store (could just be due to the fact that I’m in Canada and our food prices are higher than in the U.S.?), I am definitely wasting less food and throwing out less food at the end of the week.
Know what else I’m saving each week? My sanity! I’m no longer dreading the weekly question of ‘what am I feeding my family next week???’ I actually get excited to open the app every Thursday/Friday to see what yumminess awaits me the following week! 😂
As a busy mom who strives to feed herself and her family healthy, delicious meals but doesn’t strive to spend copious amounts of time in the kitchen every evening after work, Lillie’s meal plan is a godsend!
Oops…forgot to leave a star rating!

FIVE STARS OBVIOUSLY!
I love love love this meal plan. The food is incredible – we have yet to have a good meal. Even something where I’m slightly unsure of it, we eat it and it’s incredible. 5 stars!!
Such a great meal plan that makes eating healthy and feeding my family easy! I love not having to think ‘what’s for dinner every night’ or have to plan a weekly dinner menu from scratch! Love the automated send to Walmart feature too! Thanks Lillie!
I’ve always loved Lillie’s recipes but this meal plan subscription and how you just add it all to your grocery delivery app of choice is life changing! What an incredible time saver…and you end up with Lillie’s deliciousness (and macro friendly and calorie conscious and loaded into MFP)!!! I don’t think she left anything out! And the price 😱!
Life changer – I’ll use it forever. These meals have helped me lose 50 pounds and I’m eating some of the best food I’ve ever cooked. The app makes meal planning so easy and I’m never trying to come up with something at the last minute.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The meal plan is amazing! We’ve found so many new family favorites and I love that I no longer have to try and decide what to make every week. One of the recipes that I wasn’t sure my picky kids would like, my son loved so much he requested it the next week. It’s also nice to be able to eat the same thing as my family, while also hitting my macros.
I signed up when the meal plan was initially released just to try it since I wasn’t sure how often I would use a meal plan. Now I never want to be without it!
Life changing and I’m not exaggerating! Every meal I have made from the plan has been a hit!! It has taken our meals from boring same old thing to WOW! 10 out of 10 recommended. Sometimes I sign up for things and never use them. Not the case with this meal plan!
5 stars all the way!! I can’t say enough how much this has made my life easier! It’s taken all the guesswork out of what to cook and how to eat so I can hit my macro goals. I’m saving money every week at the grocery store because I’m not buying items I end up throwing away. It has simplified things so much for my family, and even my picky kids will eat what I’m making which is huge. Also, let’s not forget that everything in these meals are GOOD!! Not just edible. Everyone raves. Please never stop doing this. You are a hero in my house, and everyone knows who Lillie is that lives with me!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I will preface this by saying we are picky eaters! But…Lillie has thought of everything. I’ve edited our meals to remove the stuff we don’t like or sometimes just reduce it so it’s not so strong of a taste. I am loving that this plan has us eating cleaner and we get full off far less calories than other meals. I wanted to try this because I’m sick of thinking of what to eat every day, and then going home and making it. I just follow this and I love recipes where I can just mainly reheat for lunches or make another meal out of it. I LOVE the meal plan, way to go Lillie!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars! Lillie’s meal plan has made cooking and grocery shopping so much easier for my family. We have cut down on our food waste, which is an huge plus, AND we are eating natural and healthy foods in each recipe. Every single meal we have had has been incredible! Every week, we find a new favorite! The website is very user friendly, and I love that you have access to all recipes to add in lunches for the week or make substitutions, if needed. I think my favorite part of the website is that you can adjust how many servings of each meal you’re making, which then recalculates the measurements of each ingredient, so genius! We couldn’t be happier with the meal plan and how it has positively impacted our health and daily lives. Thank you, Lillie!!!!
I love the meal plan! I have three of Lillie’s cookbooks, But the meal plan just makes everything so easy. First, by deciding for me what we’re going to eat every week – this takes out such a headache of my weekly routine and then even better, she makes the whole grocery list for me!
Every now and again, there will be a meal On the plan that my family doesn’t love, but it’s so easy to take that out of the plan and swap in some thing that I know they will like so it’s totally no big deal.
Having the bulk protein prepped, makes days later in the week though so much more smoothly and I can really pull together a dinner in less than 20 minutes some days. Lifesaving!
5+ stars!!! All the stars!!! 🤩 Seriously, this meal plan is perfection. Until I started using it, I felt like I had been in a dinner rut for years. Lillie’s meal plan has absolutely changed my life for the better. I’ve cooked delicious meals that I never dreamed I could cook! It has pushed me out of my comfort zone, but it’s been easy. And the best part: my family loves it, too!! Healthy, delicious, convenient — literally everything I could ask for from a meal plan. I’m a subscriber for life!
5stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love this meal plan. Very user-friendly, the recipes are easy enough to follow. I am learning new ways on how to prepare food, and cuisines that I have never tried before. It’s even teenager approved!
The weekly meals are easy to customize for your schedule. The best part is, you can download the grocery list to your local grocery app. So easy! Also I have noticed my grocery bill decreased. This meal plan is totally worth the $10 a month!
Simplified my life! Less groceries. Less dirty dishes. Affordable! Everything is SO GOOD! So easy to track and count macros. I love to cook and eat so eating the same boring thing every day in order to hit my macros was not an option for me.
