The free 7-day meal plan with 4 of its dishes: avgolemono, savoury oats with carrot, a turkey and courgette rice pot, and honey-poached peaches
4 of the 35 meals in the plan.

The discharge sheet said low fat. How low? And what’s for dinner?

You’re home, you’re hungry, and every meal feels like a test. I’ve been there twice. Working out my own fat budget took me 18 months.

Now picture next Tuesday.

Savoury oats with carrot and herbs for breakfast. Greek lemon soup for lunch. Steamed hake with new potatoes for dinner. A yogurt with banana before bed, so you don’t wake up hungry at 3 AM.

You know what each plate costs in fat before you cook it. The whole day comes to 23.6 g. And Wednesday is already planned too.

Why it’s easy to follow

The fat in grams, on every meal

Every plate has its number and every day is totalled on the page. You can add it up yourself.

5 small meals and a pre-bed snack

Smaller portions, more often. The snack at 10 PM is the one that stops the 3 AM hunger.

Every ingredient checked

Each one was checked against my yes and no foods list, which is printed at the back. Fridge material.

Fits your kitchen and your printer

Grams or US cups, A4 or US Letter. You get all 4 editions.

Check it before you trust it

Who made it

I’m Stepan. I’ve had severe acute necrotising pancreatitis twice, in May 2023 and November 2025. 9 days in hospital the first time, 12 the second.

I’ve cooked since I was 15, some of it in restaurant kitchens. My Czech hospital dietitian gave me 20 to 30 g of fat a day for early recovery. Every day in this plan sits under that ceiling, with room left for an extra slice of bread on a hungry day.

What’s the catch?

You get the whole week: every meal, every number. The recipes behind the meals are in the full 7-Day Meal Plan ($14.99), if you ever want them. You don’t need it to use the plan.

Which phase is it for?

The gentle phase: the first 6 to 8 weeks after you come home. My dietitian kept me at 20 to 30 g of fat a day then; ask yours for your number.

Is this medical advice?

No. I’m a patient, not a doctor. Care differs between countries: Czech hospitals build food back up more slowly than US and UK ones. Show the plan to your own team. If they tell you something different, they win.

Will you fill my inbox?

One email with the plan. Nothing else unless you ask for it.
