We’ve created a well-balanced 1,800-calorie vegetarian meal plan designed to keep energy steady throughout the day. Each day includes five meals—breakfast, AM snack, lunch, PM snack, and dinner—for sustained satisfaction.

To help you save time, money, and ingredients, some meals repeat across the week. You’ll see those repeats called out so you can plan your prep more efficiently.

Each day also includes helpful tips, suggested pairings, and make-ahead ideas, plus simple ways to adjust portions for 1,600 or 2,000 calories—without changing your overall meal flow.

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