THE MEGA-T PLUS MEAL PLAN*
This sample Meal Plan is based on a 1200† calorie per day diet. You may require more calories depending on factors like your age, body frame, height, weight, gender and activity level.Using this sample menu along with our Caloric Intake Chart you can tailor an eating plan that is just right for you.
If your body requires additional calories, start by adding more lean protein distributed throughout the day - shoot for 1 gram of protein‡ per pound of body weight.
When you've maximized your daily lean protein intake, start adding fresh, green vegetables like string beans, spinach, broccoli, asparagus, brussel sprouts and salad greens until your ideal caloric intake is reached.
* Consult with a physician before starting any diet or exercise program.
† We DO NOT recommend consuming less than 1200 calories per day.
‡ 1 ounce of meat, fish or poultry has approximately 6 grams of protein.
