What this list is designed to do
The goal is not a perfect meal plan. It is a reliable base: enough protein options, simple staples and a few backups so the week has structure even when appetite changes or time gets tight.
- Pick proteins you will actually eat, not aspirational foods.
- Use dinner count and household size to prevent under-buying.
- Copy the list and add produce, pantry staples and nausea-friendly backups.
