How much food do I need for a week of Paleo?

Generate the plan and read the grocery list — quantities are scaled to the number of people you set, so it is exact rather than a guess.

Can I swap days around?

Yes. Nothing in the plan depends on order except that batch-cooked proteins are best eaten in the first three or four days.

Sunday 60-minute meal prep

Cook these components once and the rest of the week is assembly.

1. Hard-boiled eggs + fruitBoil eggs 9 minutes in a batch on Sunday; grab with a piece of fruit.
2. Chicken & roasted sweet potato boxAssemble from Sunday prep: chicken, roast sweet potato, roast broccoli.
3. Leftover chicken stripsSliced cold roast chicken from the Sunday batch.
4. Ground beef taco bowlBrown ground beef with cumin and paprika, spoon over shredded lettuce and salsa.
5. Paleo meatballs & zucchini noodlesBake beef meatballs bound with egg, simmer in crushed tomatoes, serve over zoodles.
6. Banana + almond butterSliced banana with a spoon of almond butter.

What a Paleo week looks like

Breakfast is eggs, a smoothie or something made ahead. Lunch is assembled from the Sunday batch. Dinner is one pan or one tray. A snack sits between lunch and dinner where most people need it.

Shop once, cook twice

Buy the whole list in a single trip, then plan two cooking blocks: Sunday and Wednesday. The Wednesday block exists so nothing in the fridge is five days old by Friday.
