How to build a well balanced meal plan for weight loss.?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I weigh approximately 170, I walk 3 miles atleast 5 days a week (48 min), 1 hr water aerobics twice a week, and strength training/cardio workout video 3 times a week. I want to build a meal plan but I want it to be very balanced with fat, protein, and carbs. I also want as little meat as possible, but eggs are ok! Does anyone have any suggestion also, in my nutrition textbook it gave a formula to figure out how your bmr and mine was 1659, so I figured to lose 1 lb a week I would have to eat 1159 calories a day, so how much of that should be fat? carbs? protein?
Thanks in advance!
“Meal” and “weight loss” cannot be used in the same sentence
try to eat mostly grilled foods and veggies
not bread at all try to stay away from carbs
im on the atkins diet and so far i think i lost about 10lbs the first two weeks
it really works its just hard staying on it.
and you can eat all the meat you want but the only tough thing the only breakfast thing you can have is eggs.
hope this helped
good luck

Actually, the easiest way to lose weight is trust your gutt.
I lost around 25 pounds easily by just eating (as cave man as it is) anything that isn’t processed. It’s a diet i made up, all natural diet.
Really easy, just picture what food people had around 700 years ago… no transfat to be found.
instead of making those onions into oily pieces of junk by boiling them in other ingredients, just put them into a salad.
and for snacks, just use what makes your taste buds be happy, in large moderation.
If you eat healthy, and have a few treats here and there, obviously with exercise every so often, you lose weight easily
people trust diets to much, its all about common sense
1200 calories a day – a serving is what will fit in your hand
2 pound weight loss a week is ideal.
With the amount of exercise you are doing, you should raise your daily caloric amount to at least 1400 calories.
4 fruit servings
4 vegetables servings
tablespoon of fat in some form ( butter, Peanut butter, cheese)
2 lean protein servings ( one egg, tuna , salmon,, glass on low fat milk) )
2 carb servings ( 1 slice of bread, fist ful of pasta , small bowl of good cereal etc.)
This is a great plan you’re using. Seldom see that on here. Weight watchers is the same plan. It works well and can be built on throughout your life.
At 170 and as active as you are, 1659 sounds a bit low. Perhaps it’s not counting for activity level? Try this one to see what you get:

Regardless, don’t drop below 1200 or you’ll send your body into starvation mode & it’ll try to hang onto the fat.
Aim for 40% carbs (veggies & whole grains), 40% proteins (chicken, fish, or steak… yeah, I know you said little meat, but these really are the best), & 20% fats (nuts, PB, etc). Even 50/30/20 works. Make sure you get a LOT of water too! Split your calories up into 5-6 small meals.
Join Weight Watchers. It’s the cheapest of all the weight reduction plan and has the longest lasting results. With your level of physical activity you should already be losing at least 2 lb./wk. if you keep your intake reasonable. The key is balance and consistency. Cutting carbs or protein or fat exclusively can have adverse long term effects on your body. Cut all equally by controlling you portion sizes.
