We’ve created a balanced 1,800-calorie vegan meal plan designed for steady energy and satisfaction throughout your day. With a breakdown of around 55% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 25% fat, the plan includes five meals per day — breakfast, AM snack, lunch, PM snack, and dinner — to keep your nutrition consistent and your routine easy to follow.
To make your week easier, some meals repeat so you can save time with batch prep and cut down on waste.
Each day also includes custom adjustments for 1,600 and 2,000 calories to help you hit your specific needs without changing the meal balance.
Reminder: This plan is not intended for therapeutic use. Adjust recipes and portions as needed based on your preferences or health requirements.
