Weekly Meal Plan – Plant Based

This one-week meal plan is an example of whole foods plant based diet and is meant to serve as a guide only. You can follow it closely, or you can simply incorporate elements and foods into your existing meal plan.

The plan it is not measured with calorie restriction or deprivation but it’s focused on whole nutritional value, where you will feel satisfied and full. If you want to eat more or less you can totally do it. Make it as your own. Just for an example I am adding calorie value of each meal.

It is also very important to time your meals depends on your activity level and what you eat before and after an exercise program you follow and how you should eat while you have rest days or low intensity days.

Every day of this meal plan is divided into 5 parts (3 main meals and 2 snacks). You can eat smaller or bigger portions because the food in here is balanced, healthy and non-stimulating. So basically you will not gain fat or get fat on this kind of meal plan. You can also chose only 1 snack if you wish.

I suggest you start your day with lukewarm lemon water, have one smoothie per day and include at least 3 big-mixed salads as one of your main meals in your weekly meal plan. Start with that and then slowly move on. I am sure you will start feeling amazing after just one week and over time you will see great results in overall health.

(For calculations of calories I used Cronometer.com – A web app for counting calories and tracking your diet and health metrics.)
