Last week I asked ChatGPT to make me a menu plan, and it made making dinner easier than ever. I never knew how much brain power I could save by outsourcing my nightly meal plan! Here’s what it picked for dinners this week.
We started school this week, which means we’re in new routines and I’m back to a quiet house during the day while the boys are at school. I really want to maximize my work time during the school hours, and also I really want to plan meals ahead so it’s mindless at the end of the day.
So I asked ChatGPT to make me a lunch and dinner menu for the next two weeks.
Here’s the prompt I gave it:
“Create a 14 day macro friendly meal plan for a (*your weight*) lb woman that is intermittent fasting, so no breakfast, only lunch, snack, and dinner. Make the lunches easy to make ahead, and sometimes the same meal so it’s easy to batch cook once and have a few days of lunches.”
It gave me a big list of dinner ideas, and I used them as starting points to make dinners that I knew my family would eat and like.
Monday: Salmon with roasted asparagus + quinoa
- We ended up having salmon bowls (sort of like this) with cucumber, avocado, edamame, and sriracha, with protein rice and asparagus on the side. Everyone loved it!
Tuesday – Turkey burger patties (no bun) + roasted zucchini + baked potato
- I made turkey burgers for my husband and me, and used up some hamburger patties in the freezer for the boys, so they were happy! I did roasted zucchini in the air fryer, and since I hate baked potatoes, I made homemade french fries…just chopped potatoes into tiny strips, coated with 1 TB of avocado oil, added salt and pepper, and air fried for almost 20 minutes. This was a winner!
Wednesday – Grilled shrimp + cauliflower rice stir fry
- I followed this day pretty closely, just serving it over white rice instead of cauliflower. I bought stir fry frozen veggies to make it extra simple, and added some frozen corn and edamame to make it a little more hearty. This recipe looks very similar to the original, if you want to try!
Thursday – Chicken fajitas (peppers, onions, low-carb tortillas)
- I have used this chicken fajita recipe for years and it’s absolutely delicious. So I used that recipe and our favorite zero net carb tortillas, and served with fresh blueberries on the side.
Friday – Homemade pizza
- Our friday tradition! I use this pizza crust.
Saturday – out to eat between basketball games
Sunday – steak and green beans
- This was the menu item for Friday, but I switched it to Sunday since we like to have a little fancier dinner on Sunday usually. This was perfect to grill up some steaks and serve with green beans.
10/10 recommend asking ChatGPT to make your menu! I’m sure you could ask for exact recipes, but I chose to use my own since I have my favorites, or like to get creative off of the original idea. And don’t forget to ask Chat to make you a grocery list based off of the menu — that’s the most amazing part!
