I’ve created a few base 1,000 calorie meal plans. This should be used as a standard plan & then extra calories added. Aiming for a minimum of 1,200 calories tends to be recommended if you’re looking to lose weight.
Depending on your weightloss goals just add foods to these plans with nutritions extras & lots of fresh fruit & vegetables.
Just remember to balance your eating with fun, motivating exercise. Take those extra few steps to the car or go for a walk at your local park.
