Need help shopping for groceries healthy & effectively. Details inside.
I want to eat healthy and be effective in my grocery shopping. Help me out! I am looking for a website where I can choose 5-7 healthy meals for the week, which I can cook. And said website would provide me with a grocery list and cooking instructions? Any of you know of such a website?
Parameters:
The website provides me with healthy meal options.
The website provides me with the recipes.
The website provides me with a customized grocery list.
The website also pays me $1,000,000.
I’m sure you kind of have an idea of what I mean by the above. Ideally on sunday I would like to go grocery shopping, figure out my meals for the weak and prep as much as I can in advance and freeze it. So that when I come home from work, cooking and eating healthy is as painless as possible. The million dollars isn’t a deal breaker. Thanks in advance!

Not sure what your dietary preferences are, but if you aren't lactose-intolerant, the California Dairy Council has a Meal Planner website that does exactly what you're looking for.

Does it have to be a website? The How To Cook Everything app will let you choose meals and output a grocery list.

Dr Gourmet's site does that, except it's 2 weeks at a time. You can juggle recipes around (which I do to maximize use of ingredients like leeks or goat cheese) and state preferences for types of food, etc.

Everyday Food's Grocery Bag section is well worth your time. A week's worth of recipes and a shopping list for the week. It's not super low-cal, but everything is balanced and look pretty tasty.

SOS cuisine does exactly that, and you can chose what type of menu you'd like (express, gourmet, vegetarian, etc.)
It's targetting people in Quebec/Ontario, so the "best deals of the week" or "eat local" wouldn't work for you, but I found most recipies pretty good.
