Why this menu keeps you full

A protein on every plate

Meat, fish, eggs, high-protein dairy or legumes: no meal goes under 30 g, quick lunches included.

Varied sources

Seven days of chicken, nobody can keep that up. Here: fish twice, legumes three times, eggs, tofu, dairy, the sources rotate.

Whole grain carbs

Quinoa, brown rice, bulgur, whole wheat pasta: feeling full doesn't rely on protein alone.

An indulgent Saturday

Protein pancakes in the morning, double-patty burgers at night: fun stays in the equation.

Our tips for this week

Tip #1

Cook twelve eggs at once

Hard-boiled eggs in the fridge all week: the fastest protein boost for a salad or a bowl that's a bit light.

Tip #2

Skyr is your friend

A kilo of skyr works as a sauce with lemon and herbs, as a side and as dessert. Lots of protein, very little effort.

Tip #3

Marinate the chicken the night before

Thursday's tandoori is prepped on Wednesday night in three minutes. More tender, more flavor, and nothing to do on the day.

Frequently asked questions

How much protein should you aim for per meal?

For an active person, 25 to 40 g per meal is a common range, or about 1.4 to 1.8 g per kilo of body weight over the day. This menu aims for at least 30 g, with an average around 36 g. Beyond that, the extra isn't used any better, it's just more expensive.

How do you make a weekly menu?

First pick a format (number of people, budget, time you have), then lay out 14 meals, lunch and dinner over 7 days, reusing the same ingredients from one dish to the next. Finish with the grocery list grouped by aisle: that's what makes sure the week holds up.

How do I get the grocery list?

Every menu on this site comes with one, already sorted by aisle. With Popotam, you can also generate your own from your own meals: you check it off as you go and it shows the budget you have left.

Is Popotam really free?

Yes, and with no subscription. Two ways to generate, your pick: Popotam handles it itself, which costs it less than a cent, or you use your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini account, which costs it nothing. No ads, no selling your data, no commission on your groceries.

Do I need to create an account?

Nope. No sign-up, no email, no ads. Your meal plan lives online, behind a secret link only you know.
