We’ve created a nutrient-rich 1,800-calorie vegetarian meal plan designed for steady energy and balance throughout the day. This plan provides around 55% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 25% fat, structured with five meals — breakfast, AM snack, lunch, PM snack, and dinner — for a satisfying and energizing routine.
To keep things efficient, some meals are repeated on multiple days, so you can save time and money by prepping in batches.
Each day includes tips, pairings, and portion adjustments for 1,600- and 2,000-calorie targets so you can easily tailor it to your needs.
Reminder: This plan is not designed for therapeutic use. Adjust recipes and portions based on your unique preferences or nutrition goals.
