i really like this meal plan..but i was wondering if there is another week to switch it up..also i think it would be nice to incorperate some lean beef/red meat to some meals

In response to the comment about nuts: probably the goal here is to include something that has some fiber, protein, and fat, but low suger, to keep you satisfied. You don't want to eat something with sugar on its own-- it needs to be tempered if you will. A legume or bean would work in the same way, but who wants to eat peaches with chickpeas? Maybe have some carrot sticks and humus, or plain yougrt (some yogurts actually have fiber content!) and some slices of high-fiber fruit (so, not banana).
