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.

I never thought that I’d find a meal-planning subscription the whole family would love! We had lots of food allergies (chicken being a big one) and it seemed like so many ‘healthy’ meals include chicken. This subscription makes it easy for me to sub out the protein for the week. I love that the recipes have so much variety and also get easier as the week (and my energy) goes on! My two kids and my husband have complimented the recipes so much! AND I don’t have to meal plan, I just place my grocery order and my meals for the week and planned and ready to cook!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great recipes and meal planning made simple with nutritious meals the whole family will love. Lillie is a creative genius when it comes to great tasting macro friendly foods. I own all of her cookbooks and love the meal planning app with the many options to customize it and the grocery list feature! Best I’ve seen!
5 STARS!!
My family has loved every single recipe I’ve made from the meal plan and the books! My kids told me recently I “knocked it out of the park” after a Lillie dinner. I told them actually Lillie knocked it out of the park! I feel like all the recipes are full of flavor and nutrition. The meal plan eases the daily stress of deciding what to make for dinner and I am so grateful for it!
Ease and delicious! I don’t use the meal plan as intended… but still find a huge value in the service. I always use the bulk protein and modify the three meals to fit the needs of my family. I sometimes use one of the two meals that do not need the bulk protein or just create my own meals for the other two nights. Additionally, I’ve used the grocery list once but prefer to add items that are needed to my list and shop myself. I LOVE that I only have to come up with 2 meals for the week (Fridays we eat leftovers or pizza and Saturdays we dine out or order in). Plus, my entire family loves Lillie’s meals. We haven’t had a miss, and I’ve been using her cookbooks/recipes for the past four years!!!
5- Stars!!! I love this meal plan. I’ve never been good at shopping and prepping meals without making the same thing or cooking from scratch every night. This plan allows me to make amazing meals with less prep!! The really amazing benefit is the shopping list!!! I can’t even tell you! It makes my life so much easier and I buy less junk and actually use everything.
Not to be dramatic, but this meal plan has changed my life! I started getting serious about counting macros about 6 weeks ago and have been using Lillie’s meal plan app exclusively for our family dinners. It has taken the guesswork out of the dreaded “what should we eat this week?” and has every detail laid out in front of me. All the meals have been delicious, simple to prepare (especially with the already prepared weekly protein) and filling. I’m never still hungry after one of her meals! Not only is it simple and delicious, I have lost almost 10 pounds in 6 weeks! Thanks for creating such a user friendly meal plan for busy families. Couldn’t have made it here this easily with out it!
This is the best meal plan I have used. I love how easy, quick and yummy all the meals are!
Everything is sooooo delicious! This is the best meal plan I’ve tried.
I had the app a week and the 2 recipes I did the kids loved, especially the Ground Beef & Veggie Shells!
Thi has saved me time and complaining from my family. They have loved all the things I have made from the meal plan, even the picky eaters.
I have all Lillie’s cookbooks and felt overwhelmed trying do a weekly meal plan on my own. I still use them for short weeks, but the meal plan is amazing!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I love these recipes and use them constantly. Five stars!
The best meal plans and most delicious recipes.
Five stars! I love the variety and new recipes this is encouraging me to try – and love! Plus I have yummy lunch leftovers all week (my young kids usually can’t finish Lillie’s generous portions, so I don’t even have to add servings). The plan makes our busy nights running between sports events manageable – I even have my husband packing tupperware dinners instead of going through the drive thru! I’ve always enjoyed cooking, but the meal plan has taken it to a new level. I’ve even started adding a couple servings to feed my neighbors who are recently empty nesters. 🙂
Easily five stars!!Your meal plans have saved me so many nights. As a busy mom of two young ones, I cannot even begin to say thank you enough. Everything has been so fresh and delicious. This is the only way I live now! Thank you so much for making my life so much easier.
I just started it and am on week two and I’m already so impressed. The bulk protein is a game changer and so easy to do on a Sunday to start the week. The meals are simple to prepare and so delicious. I love having the meals and groceries layed out for me so that everything is ready to go. As a busy mom with kids in sports it has made feeding my family so easy. I don’t count macros but am very familiar so love that aspect as well. I’ve been learning so many tricks and tips with sauces and marinades – highly recommend!
Five stars!!! The plan itself is amazing every week -healthy and tasty meals using similar ingredients to minimize waste. On top of that the app is awesome! Easily swap and customize recipes. What a lifesaver for two working parents with 3 young kids trying to keep a healthy lifestyle!
