Building a Healthy Weekly Meal Plan
While we boast a wide variety of meals, with 8000 and counting in our database, we can’t forget to talk about the basic building blocks of a healthy weekly meal plan. Having your own nutrition knowledge is integral when working towards your own weight loss goals, and maintaining your progress long-term. This is exactly what we are about at equ, and what we aim to achieve!
We build our weekly meal plans around 3 main meals, 2 snacks and dessert, ensuring a balanced intake of nutrients and calories across the day. This type of plan allows you to spread out your calorie and protein intake over the day, keeping your energy levels and metabolism steady, and helping you stay satisfied while in a deficit. Win win!
When building a main meal, there is so much variety in your food choices. Ideally, you want to start with a strong source of lean protein (chicken, lean pork and beef, seafood, tofu, legumes, eggs), a moderate amount of carbohydrates (from vegetables and wholegrains) and a small serving of fats (think: sauces, condiments, avocado, nuts and seeds). All these macronutrients work together to keep you feeling satiated, especially protein and a high volume of low-calorie vegetables, ideal when undertaking a weight loss journey.
