Welcome to the Once A Month Meals Diet Meal Plan
There are many who love to once a month cook, but don’t love all of the calories of the Traditional Meal Plan – our Diet Meal Plan is just for you!
How Do We Label “Diet”?
The Diet recipes are family friendly favorites that have been adapted to help you lower your fat and calorie intake and control portion size. Each recipe included will contain nutrition information calculated by our Registered Dietitian.
Our diet meal plans are made up of a variety of dinner recipes will help make dieting and meal planning simple and convenient.
Weight Watchers
Weight Watchers Freestyle Points are included with all diet recipes. Recipes range from 0-12 points per serving. Points are calculated as accurately as possible by our dietitian. However, Once A Month Meals is not associated with Weight Watchers, so please use your own Weight Watchers tools to ensure your personal point calculations are correct.
**We are aware of the recent changes to Weight Watchers SmartPoints and the update to Weight Watchers Freestyle. We are currently in the process of updating our recipes to reflect those changes. Categories with freestyle in the title have the updated Freestyle Smart Point values. Recipes in the category Wwsmartpoints are currently under review and have old SmartPoint values. If you have a question about whether the SmartPoints have been updated on a specific recipe, we can connect you with our Registered Dietitian who will be able to provide you with that information. Simply email us at triciac@onceamonthmeals.com. We appreciate your patience as we work to make these updates for you!
