Aussie model Jesinta Franklin has given her Instagram followers a glimpse into what she eats in a week.

Jesinta, who shares two young children with AFL star Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin, isn’t usually one to meal plan, but has decided to give it a go for the first time.

She shared a screenshot of her weekly list which includes a good balance of protein, carbohydrates and steamed vegetables.

“For the first time ever I’ve done a meal plan for the week as I am trying to be really organised and be on top of life,” Jesinta said in her Instagram story.

Her weekly list was divided into different meals for each day, starting out with a fish curry and turmeric rice on Monday, a shepherd’s pie with salad for Tuesday and chicken stir-fry with kelp (a type of seaweed) noodles for Wednesday.

For Thursday night’s dinner she listed pasta with ‘sneaky’ mince meat, while Friday and Saturday looked to be a bit more expensive with lamb cutlets and lamb shanks.

“I am going to see if it helps out week run more efficiently,” Jesinta wrote in her story.

The former Miss Universe Australia married Sydney Swans star ‘Buddy’ in 2016.

The couple share daughter Tullulah, one, and son Rocky, who Jesinta gave birth to six months ago.

And when it comes to food it appears that Jesinta is all about the super tasty, having recently shared another post on what her post-partum recovery diet looks like.

“Post-partum Pho made with 36hr slow cooked chicken broth, fresh herbs and spices all sourced from our local organic farmers markets,” she captioned a video from May.

“This is one of my favourite dishes, it’s so warming and full of nourishment. It was actually one of my constant cravings in pregnancy.”

Another clip showed her making laksa with golden snapper and kelp noodles.

“I can’t tell you how good this was !!! #postpartum,” she wrote.

Jesinta wed Sydney Swans star ‘Buddy’, 34, in 2016, and the one thing he loves to boast about his wife is just how much of an “incredible mum” she is to their two children.

“Jes is one of the most loving and caring people I know. I’m lucky to have such a great partner to share this journey with,” he told The Daily Mail earlier this year.

Back in February, the beauty pageant winner admitted she was nervous about having two young children at home.

“Pre-dinner waddle to the shops. Can’t believe we’ll be whipping out the double pram soon,” she wrote online, alongside a snap of herself pushing a stroller.

“Would love any advice/tips from other mums with a one-year-old and newborn. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous.”

Lance said the while he loves everything about being a dad, the evolution in his relationship with Jes from being a couple to a family “is really special and rewarding, too”.
