Meijer Low-Carb Meal Plan
Switch dietary option for this week:
5-DAY MEAL PLAN
Monday
Meal: Pan-Seared Pork Loin Assorted Chops with Sauteed Vidalia Onions and Baby Carrots
Description: A single bone-in pork loin assorted chop is seared in a hot skillet until golden and juicy, then rested while sweet Vidalia onions are softened in the same pan. Baby carrots are roasted or steamed alongside for a simple, satisfying low-carb plate.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Pork Loin Assorted Chops Bone in ($1.99/lb), Vidalia Onions 5 lb. bag ($4.99), Baby-Cut Carrots 1 lb. bag ($1.29)
Prep time: 30 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.5 lb of pork chops (1 bone-in chop, roughly 8 oz) for $1.00; use about 1/4 of the Vidalia onion bag (1 medium onion) and a generous handful of baby carrots from the 1 lb bag. Net carbs are well under 20g with this combination.
Tuesday
Meal: Skillet-Browned Eckrich Sausage Rope with Mustard Dipping Sauce and Vidalia Onion Saute
Description: Half of an Eckrich sausage rope is sliced into coins and browned in a skillet until caramelized, then served with a simple mustard dipping sauce made from pantry mustard. Thinly sliced Vidalia onions are sauteed in the same pan drippings for a sweet, savory low-carb side.
Sale items used: Eckrich 2 Pc. Sausage Ropes ($2.29 each), Vidalia Onions 5 lb. bag (already purchased Monday), Maille Mustard 7.3-8 oz. ($3.99)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use approximately half of one sausage rope (roughly 5-7 oz) for one serving; the second rope and remaining half can be refrigerated or frozen for later. Use 1 medium Vidalia onion from the bag already purchased. The Maille Mustard doubles as a condiment for Thursday's brats, making it a practical two-meal purchase.
Wednesday
Meal: Oven-Baked Chicken Drumsticks with Hellmann's Mayonnaise Herb Crust and Baby Carrots
Description: Two to three chicken drumsticks are coated in a thin layer of Hellmann's mayonnaise mixed with garlic powder, paprika, and dried herbs, then baked until the skin is crispy and golden. Baby carrots from the already-purchased bag are roasted on the same sheet pan for an easy one-pan low-carb dinner.
Sale items used: Fresh from Meijer Family Pack Chicken Drumsticks ($0.99/lb), Hellmann's Mayonnaise 30 oz. ($3.99), Baby-Cut Carrots 1 lb. bag (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 45 minutes (35 minutes bake time plus 10 minutes prep)
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb of drumsticks (2-3 pieces) for $0.74; the family pack will have extra drumsticks that can be frozen in individual portions for future meals. Use 1-2 tablespoons of Hellmann's mayo for the crust; the jar will last the week and beyond. Net carbs from this meal are under 10g.

Thursday
Meal: Grilled Johnsonville Fresh Brats with Wholly Guacamole and Mustard
Description: Two Johnsonville fresh brats are grilled or pan-seared until cooked through with a nicely browned casing, then served without a bun alongside a scoop of Wholly Guacamole and a side of mustard for dipping. This is a naturally low-carb meal that skips the bread entirely and leans into the rich, savory flavors of the sausage and creamy guacamole.
Sale items used: Johnsonville Fresh Brats 19 oz. ($4.79 each), Wholly Guacamole 7.5 oz. ($2.99), Maille Mustard (already purchased Tuesday)
Prep time: 20 minutes
Serving note: Use 2 brats from the 19 oz. package (approximately 5 links per pack) for one serving; refrigerate or freeze remaining brats. Use about 2-3 tablespoons of Wholly Guacamole (roughly one-third of the container); the rest keeps well in the fridge for a day or two. Net carbs are under 5g for this meal.
Friday
Meal: Pan-Seared Certified Angus Beef Boneless Ribeye Steak with Sauteed Vidalia Onions
Description: A single boneless ribeye steak is brought to room temperature, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and seared in a very hot skillet with butter until a deep crust forms, then finished to your preferred doneness. Thinly sliced Vidalia onions are caramelized in the same pan drippings for a rich, low-carb finishing touch to the week.
Sale items used: Certified Angus Beef Boneless Ribeye Steak ($13.99/lb), Vidalia Onions 5 lb. bag (already purchased Monday)
Prep time: 25 minutes
Serving note: Purchase approximately 0.75 lb (a single ribeye steak around 10-12 oz) for $10.49; ask the butcher counter to cut a single steak if the display cuts are larger. Use 1 medium Vidalia onion from the bag. Net carbs are under 5g for this meal.
