How It Works
Use the estimates as a flexible guide rather than a strict prescription.
Check Cooked Portions
Protein estimates use cooked weights, are approximate, and should give way to product labels.
Build Out Meals
Add fruit, vegetables, grains, sauces, and fats according to your appetite.
Keep It Flexible
Repeat favorite meals or use similar-protein swaps because no ingredient is required.
Know The Range
The menu averages about 99 g daily before snacks and 106 g with them, with most days between 90 and 115 g.
Skip Calorie Counting
This plan does not prescribe a calorie target.
Prep And Storage
Set aside 60 to 90 minutes once to make the week easier.
Cook The Basics
Prepare lentils and quinoa, hard-boil eggs, bake chicken and turkey meatballs, roast vegetables, mix one dressing, and portion everything.
Chill Early Meals
Refrigerate the components planned for Days 1 through 4.
Freeze Later Meals
Freeze Day 5 through 7 portions of chicken, turkey, lentils, and quinoa, then thaw them two days before use.
Plan Fresh Salmon
Cook salmon fresh on Days 2 and 6, making an extra Day 2 portion for the Day 4 lunch.
Use Leftovers Promptly
Eat refrigerated leftovers within three to four days.
Health Guidance
The menu is intended for generally healthy adults and is not medical advice.
Ask For Guidance
