This week we are meal prepping for a daily intake of 1800 calories. The daily intake will be broken down into 6 meals, being breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon snack, post-workout and dinner.

  

  

The 1800 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 - 30/35/35 or 30% protein, 35% carbs and 35% 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	30%	36%	34%	100%
Calories	528	648	603	1779
Grams	132g	162g	67g

 

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 - XO Crunch cereal and Almond Milk
• Morning Tea - Cruskits and avocado
• Lunch - Thai Chicken Peanut Salad
• Afternoon Snack - Bananas
• Post-Workout - Protein Shake
• Dinner - Thai Chicken Peanut Salad

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

 

	Protein	Carbs	Fat
Meal 1	12g	43g	3g
Meal 2	6g	29g	17g
Meal 3	43g	17g	23g
Meal 4	2g	54g	0g
Meal 5	26g	2g	1g
Meal 6	43g	17g	23g
Total	132g	162g	67g

 

Our meal prep video this week will focus on the preparation of morning tea, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. The XO Crunch cereal 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.
