We’ve included the total calorie, carbohydrate, and fiber counts of each meal, so that you have all the information you need before digging into the nourishing meal. Not only is this plan for those with diabetes, it’s perfect for those looking for simple, healthy meals that will satisfy everyone’s taste buds.

In this meal plan we provide heart-healthy recipes that are carb controlled, sodium controlled, and provide less than 500 calories, 5g saturated fat, and 800mg of sodium. We focus on the American Heart Association’s guidelines, which means we emphasize whole grains, lean meats, and heart-healthy oils in our recipes while using natural herbs and spices to enhance taste and flavor.
