Dieting Menu Plans

Menus for Diet Plans

There are five different daily menus which I followed once at some point. Although, I wouldn't normally use the exact same meal plan for another day, instead I would swap and change one particular meal for another depending on my calorie needs or food preferences for the day.

I allowed myself to eat fresh fruit and vegetables freely during the day. In fact, I would regularly fill up on fruit before a meal in order to calm my appetite, especially after a big workout when my appetite would be ravenous.

My daily caloric range at the time of these dieting menus was 1900-2200 calories per day. But I would often try to save more calories every other day so I could build up "credit in calories", after then I would allow myself a big meal out at a restaurant once every ten days or so. This would help to continue enjoying my food during my fat loss months without the feeling that I had to stick to any strict calorie intakes every day.

All the dieting menu plans shown below are for demonstration purposes only. The five different meal plans are changed every day so that you never have the same meal on two consecutive days. The best way is to follow the plan every day and five days later to start the first compilation. This is important for a balanced, varied and healthy diet.

You can use the calorie budget to enjoy your favorite foods in addition to the diet. So if you take a sumptuous lunch, you eat very little at night. You can customize the diet to suit your habits and counteract cravings.
