MEAL PREP SUNDAY - 26th AUGUST 2018 - 1800 CALORIES & 6 MEALS PER DAY

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 - 30/40/30 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%	37%	31%	100%
Calories	572	656	558	1786
Grams	143g	164g	62g

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 - Peanut Butter Rice Crisps
Lunch - Moroccan Oven Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Afternoon Snack - Cashew Nuts
Post-Workout - Protein Shake
Dinner - Moroccan Oven Roasted Chicken and Vegetables

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	8g	22g	36g
Meal 3	44g	47g	4g
Meal 4	5g	5g	15g
Meal 5	30g	0g	0g
Meal 6	44g	47g	4g
Total	143g	164g	62g

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.
