We’ve created a well-balanced 1,800-calorie meal plan tailored for women, with approximately 55% of calories from carbohydrates, 20% from protein, and 25% from fat. Each day includes five meals: breakfast, AM snack, lunch, PM snack, and dinner, to support steady energy and satisfaction throughout the day.

To help you save time, money, and ingredients, we’ve intentionally repeated some recipes across the week. You don’t have to guess which ones they’re listed in the table below, so you can plan your prep more efficiently.

Each day also comes with helpful tips, suggested pairings, and make-ahead ideas to simplify your routine. For added flexibility, we’ve included ways to adjust your portions for 1,600- or 2,000-calorie targets based on your needs.

Reminder: This meal plan is not therapeutic and shouldn’t be used to manage medical conditions. If you have specific macronutrient goals, feel free to tweak as needed.
