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.
