Starting the 21 Day Fix can be overwhelming! While I recommend trying delicious recipes with container counts, I also think there is something to be said for starting out with a simple and easy 21 Day Fix meal plan.

While this meal plan isn’t very exciting, is is simple–it will keep you on target with clean eating and your weight loss, and is perfect for beginning Fixers.
