This week we are meal prepping for a daily intake of 2000 calories. We are diving into some Mexican themed meal prep, cooking some burrito chicken and combining with a range of additional flavours to create some really tasty and  healthy chicken burrito bowls. As an added extra, our snacks this week will be some healthy sweet potato fries, baked in the oven rather than deep fried - almost as good as the real thing, without the calories!

The daily intake will be broken down into 6 meals, being breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon snack, post-workout and dinner.

The 2000 calorie intake per day has been divided or 'split' into the 3 macro-nutrients (macros); protein, carbohydrates (carbs) and lipids (fat). This week's daily meals have been planned out to meet a rough split - 30/40/30 or 30% protein, 40% carbs and 30% fat. The amount of each of the macros is up to personal preference, diet requirements or a target metabolic consumption. The table below shows the breakdown of the daily calorie intake into each of the macros. 

 

	Protein	Carbs	Fat	Total
Split	32%	39%	29%	100%
Calories	628	780	567	1975
Grams	157g	195g	63g

 

Each of the 6 planned meals plays an important part in obtaining the required daily calorie intake. This week's meal prep will include the following food for each meal:

• Breakfast - Yoghurt, Muesli and Fruit
• Morning Tea - Boiled Eggs
• Lunch - Chicken Burrito Bowl
• Afternoon Snack - Sweet Potato Fries
• Post-Workout - Protein Shake
• Dinner - Chicken Burrito Bowl

 The table below shows the macro breakdown of each of the meals to get our target daily intake. 

 

	Protein	Carbs	Fat
Meal 1	20g	44g	9g
Meal 2	13g	1g	11g
Meal 3	48g	64g	18g
Meal 4	2g	20g	6g
Meal 5	26g	2g	1g
Meal 6	48g	64g	18g
Total	157g	195g	63g
