This week we are meal prepping for a daily intake of 2000 calories. As an added extra, this weeks meal prep will be all vegetarian meals.

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 - 34/32/34 or 34% protein, 32% carbs and 34% 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	34%	32%	34%	100%
Calories	664	640	675	1979
Grams	166g	160g	75g

 

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 - Breakfast Shake
• Morning Tea - Yoghurt, Muesli and Fruit
• Lunch - Three Cheese Pasta Bake
• Afternoon Snack - Almonds
• Post-Workout - Protein Shake
• Dinner - Three Cheese Pasta Bake

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

 

	Protein	Carbs	Fat
Meal 1	47g	7g	2g
Meal 2	20g	44g	9g
Meal 3	31g	48g	19g
Meal 4	11g	11g	25g
Meal 5	26g	2g	1g
Meal 6	31g	48g	19g
Total	166g	160g	75g
