New Balanced Meal Plan

GENERAL INFORMATION -What is a meal plan?

A meal plan is a structured approach to eating that helps you meet your personal health goals—whether that’s maintaining balance, losing weight, or gaining weight. It ensures your body receives the right combination of nutrients through balanced portions, a variety of foods, and sustainable eating habits. At its core, a meal plan includes a proper distribution of proteins, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, micronutrient-rich foods like fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins, and a well-organized meal structure to keep energy steady and cravings at bay. The focus is not on strict dieting or deprivation but on intentional food choices tailored to your needs.

CALORIES AND MACROS

Variety in Foods

Regardless of the goal, healthy eating should include a variety of foods from all food groups to ensure a wide range of nutrients. The recommended macronutrient balance is:

  • Carbohydrates (50–60% of daily intake) – Carbs are your body’s primary energy source. Focus on whole grains, starchy vegetables, fruits, legumes, and tubers to provide sustained energy and help fuel workouts.

  • Proteins (15–25%) – Protein is essential for building and repairing muscle. Include lean meats, dairy, eggs, legumes, tofu, and protein-rich snacks to support muscle growth and recovery.

  • Fats (20–30%) – Healthy fats support hormone production, brain health, and help increase calorie intake without excessive volume. Choose nutrient-dense sources like nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil, and fatty fish.
