500 Calorie Vegan Meal Plan

Here's a 7-day sample week averaging 26g protein a day. Build your own day below, or jump to the full week.

Very low-calorie diets (VLCDs) can help you lose weight quickly, but they should always be used under medical supervision. Our planner keeps meals balanced and nutrient-dense even at 500 Calories, but it's important to do so safely.

Important Considerations:

• Consult with a healthcare provider: Before starting a 500 Calorie diet, consult with a healthcare professional to ensure it's safe for you.
• Focus on nutrient density: With fewer Calories, it's crucial to maximize the nutritional value of every meal.
• Monitor your health: Rapid weight loss can lead to muscle loss, nutrient deficiencies, and other health issues if not carefully managed.

How It Differs from the Standard 500 Calorie Plan

The Vegan plan cuts protein from 39g to 26g a day.
