1800 Calorie Template

Guidelines:

• Breakfast: An easy, grab-and-go option packed with protein and carbs to power me through the morning and keep me full until lunch (five days).

• Lunch: Two base options that are high in protein but low enough in calories that they can be combined with other staples to make packable salads, grain bowls, and sandwiches. Also, a few low-cal snacks that can be enjoyed without hesitation (five days).

• Dinner: Mix-and-match proteins that can also be assembled in a few different ways throughout the week to create satisfying dinners rich in whole grains and vegetables (five days).

• Nutritional Goals: Wholesome, satisfying meals that clock in at a total of 1,800 calories a day or fewer.
