We’ve created a balanced 1,800-calorie vegetarian meal plan that delivers steady energy, with a nutrient breakdown of about 55% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 25% fat. Each day is structured with five meals — breakfast, AM snack, lunch, PM snack, and dinner — for sustained energy and satisfaction throughout your day.
To keep things simple and efficient, some days repeat, letting you batch-prep and save time without sacrificing variety.
Each day also includes customized portion adjustments for 1,600- or 2,000-calorie targets, plus meal-prep tips to make the week smooth and stress-free.
