280 kcalPrep tips for day 6
- ✓Portion the yogurt, fruit, and dry toppings into a container tonight so breakfast is grab-and-go.
- ✓Lentil soup keeps about five days in the refrigerator, so cook the whole pot and portion it into grab-and-go containers.
- ✓Wash and portion the fruit when you put the groceries away so snacks need zero assembly.
Every day is set at about 1,500 calories. To eat less, drop the second snack and cut starch portions (oats, rice, quinoa, potato) by one-third. To eat more, add 1/2 cup of a whole grain or one extra ounce of protein to lunch and dinner. Protein and non-starchy vegetables stay the same at every level.
