Examples of Low - Medium Calorie Diets

Many more examples of my personal diet menus below, all low in calories and mostly comprised of healthy foods. The 3 menus all contain 4 meals for each day. I sometimes break a big meal up into two smaller meals to "spread the calorie cost" when reducing intake.

 

I always make sure I change or rotate my daily diet menus. This practice helps to avoid any possible deficiency in a particular nutrient - if I miss out on one nutrient then tomorrow's daily diet plan may supply it!

 

I always drink plenty of clean bottled water before, during and after each meal or snack. It's important to maintain fluid levels for maximum energy throughout the day.

 

The following dieting menus are for demonstration purposes only!
