Quick 400 Calorie Dinners Menu
Monday’s dinner is a twist on a favorite classic chicken dish, lightening it up for healthy eating. Serve over whole-grain pasta and a large summer salad for a delicious start to the week!
Tuesday’s dinner is a family favorite made in a pressure cooker with ground beef. It’s also a classic twist on a speedy dinner readers have loved. Serve over your favorite grain, and a side salad would be a good idea, too!
Wednesday’s dinner is a summer delight that’s quick, easy, and delicious, too! This dinner salad combines the whole meal in one bowl, and you’re good to go! Drizzle the dressing sparingly to keep it under 400 calories.
Thursday’s dinner is a celebration of quick summer meals. You know it’s July when you begin craving all things peach. This meal will satisfy those cravings, very quickly! Serve with greens.
Friday’s dinner is a vegetarian but hearty meal perfect for the end of the week. Serve with whole grain buns (or a lettuce wrap if you prefer), lots of cut veggies, and maybe a yogurt sauce. And get ready for a fun weekend ahead!
Treat: This week’s treat is healthy, quick, and one I’ve made so many times this summer I can’t even count. It’s perfect with fresh or frozen strawberries and with or without chia seeds. Enjoy!
Have a beautiful and delicious week!

Quick and Healthy 400 Calorie Dinners Meal Plan (July 22)
For quick and healthy dinners this week, these 400 calorie dinners are delicious and and ready in 30 minutes or less.
Monday: Creamy Lemon Chicken Parmesan
"This riff on classic chicken Parmesan replaces the usual marinara with a luscious lemony cream sauce. We've lightened it up by using half-and-half instead of cream, with just-as-delicious results. Serve this lemony chicken dinner with whole-wheat pasta or brown rice."
Tuesday: Easy Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli
Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli is my go-to dinner whenever I'm craving that favorite Chinese takeout classic. Made with ground beef, it's an incredibly easy and delicious adaptation of everyone's favorite Beef and Broccoli recipe, ready in under 20 minutes!
Wednesday: Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado Ranch Dressing
This Chicken Cobb Salad with Avocado Ranch Dressing is a simple and delightfully delicious meal filled with tender, juicy chicken, perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs, and crispy bacon. A feast for the eyes and taste buds and ready in under 30 minutes.
Thursday: Grilled Shrimp Tacos with Peach Salsa
"These easy grilled shrimp tacos with sweet and juicy peach salsa are the perfect way to bring summer to your dinner table!"
Friday: Salsa-Black Bean Burgers
"Salsa and some pantry staples give this vegetarian bean burger recipe tons of flavor. We use crushed tortilla chips to bind the burgers together, making them a great vehicle for using up those crumbs that inevitably fall to the bottom of the bag."
Healthy Treat: Strawberry Banana Smoothie
Seriously delicious and easy to whip up in the morning. Healthy ingredients in this smoothie bring Vitamin C, probiotics, protein, fiber, and so much more to your morning. While this makes 2 smoothies, I can drink the whole thing... easily!
