This week we are meal prepping for a daily intake of 1400 calories. The daily intake will be broken down into 6 meals, being breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon snack, post-workout and dinner.

  

  

The 1400 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 - 45/40/15 or 45% protein, 40% carbs and 15% 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	47%	38%	15%	100%
Calories	664	536	216	1415
Grams	166g	134g	24g

 

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 Smoothie
• Morning Tea - Yoghurt Muesli and Fruit
• Lunch - Chicken Noodle Soup
• Afternoon Snack - 1 Banana
• Post-Workout - Protein Shake
• Dinner - Chicken Noodle Soup

 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	36g	27g	6g
Meal 4	1g	27g	0g
Meal 5	26g	2g	1g
Meal 6	36g	27g	6g
Total	166g	134g	24g

 

Our meal prep video this week will focus on the preparation of morning tea, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. The breakfast smoothie can be made fresh at home before you leave each day and the protein shake can either be taken on the go and consumed with water or when you get home.
