Build your own day below, or jump to the full week.
This 2050 Calorie Meal Plan gives you three meals and a snack a day for seven days. It averages 2,027 Calories, with 145g protein, 77g fat and 210g carbs (including 36g of fiber). Protein is high for a general plan, at 29% of Calories.
How many Calories you need depends on your age, sex, size and how active you
are. Here's what 2,050 Calories a day would mean for four example
people, using the same Mifflin-St Jeor estimate as our Calorie calculator.
Example person
Maintenance Calories
At 2,050 Calories a day
Woman, 35, 5'5", 150 lb, desk job
1,650
About 400 Calories over maintenance, or roughly 0.8 lb gained a week.
Same woman, works out 3 to 4 times a week
1,890
About 160 Calories over maintenance, or roughly 0.3 lb gained a week.
Man, 35, 5'10", 180 lb, desk job
2,110
Close to maintenance, so weight should stay about the same.
Same man, works out 3 to 4 times a week
2,420
About 370 Calories under maintenance, or roughly 0.7 lb lost a week.
These are estimates, and everyone's different. Treat them as a starting point,
and adjust based on how your weight changes over a few weeks.
