This week we are meal prepping for a daily intake of 1400 calories. The daily intake will be broken down into 5 meals, being breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner. This is a perfect meal prep plan for anyone on low calories and trying to lose weight!

  

  

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 - 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	30%	42%	28%	100%
Calories	420	592	387	1399
Grams	105g	148g	43g

 

Each of the 5 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 - Freedom Food Barley+ Bar 
• Lunch - Yellow Coconut Chicken Curry
• Afternoon Snack - 25g Cashew Nuts
• Dinner - Yellow Coconut Chicken Curry

 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	43g	42g	12g
Meal 3	3g	17g	3g
Meal 4	4g	4g	13g
Meal 5	43g	42g	12g
Total	105g	148g	43g
