What is a typical day of a Flexitarian Diet?
The book contains a flexible 5-week meal plan. A typical day would have 3 meals and 2 snacks. Each day follows the 3, 4, 5 meal plan system: each breakfast contains 300 calories, each lunch 400 calories and each dinner is 500 calories. I recommend 2 snacks per day for 150 calories each. The diet is 1500 calories per day – the perfect amount for most people to lose weight without sacrificing satisfaction. Depending on your activity level, gender, height and weight you may need slightly more of less calories. If you prefer a 1200 calorie plan you can omit the snacks and for an 1800 calorie plan you can double the portion at breakfast. You can mix-and-match any of the recipes to create a day that is perfect for your preferences and lifestyle.
