Weekly Meal Plan

Monday September 28 – Sunday October 4, 2026
Cut continues · comfort week

Comfort week, healthy and easy. After a rough week, the smoker and crockpot do most of the work Sunday, breakfasts are no-cook, and weeknight dinners are about 20 minutes. Salad with every dinner (no afternoon salad). Three red-meat meals this week by choice (BBQ pork, burgers, ribs), and macros run a little loose. Back to normal next week. Macros are estimates.
