About this plan
Who this plan suits
This 2200 kcal meal plan provides an average daily protein intake of 148 grams to suit your goals. It targets larger or very active adults who need a higher energy intake each day. Smaller or less active adults should avoid this high level of daily food energy. The low-carb framework keeps carbohydrates lower throughout the week. Because carbs are limited, your meals rely heavily on protein, vegetables, and fats. You get 4 meals per day over a period of 7 days. Daily energy stays between 2190 kcal and 2200 kcal. Protein totals range from 121 grams up to 162 grams.
What a day looks like
Day one starts with scrambled eggs with spinach and avocado for your morning meal. Lunch features a grilled chicken salad with olive oil dressing. Dinner brings baked salmon with roasted broccoli and butter. You finish the day with a snack of mixed almonds and walnuts. Other top protein options include sirloin steak with asparagus and garlic butter, or beef and broccoli stir-fry with sesame oil. You might also enjoy pork chops with cauliflower mash and green beans, or baked cod with asparagus and melted butter. Each daily routine brings solid food choices.
How to use it
Follow these steps to manage your weekly food preparation without trouble. Read the shopping list carefully before you buy your fresh groceries at the store. Prepare large batches of meat and vegetables ahead of time to save precious minutes later. Swap any main protein source with a similar option if you prefer a different taste. Eat extra green vegetables if you feel hungry between your scheduled meals. Keep your daily food intake within the proper range to maintain your current body weight. Check the daily totals so you hit your targets without any confusion. Enjoy your meals while following this structured routine.
- Read the full shopping list and buy all fresh ingredients before starting.
- Batch cook your meats and vegetables in advance to save cooking time.
- Swap any protein choice with a similar food if you desire variety.
- Add extra green vegetables to your plate if you need more food.
Read the full disclaimer
Every number on this page (calorie targets, macro splits and any suggested meal plan) is produced by formulas (Mifflin-St Jeor for basal metabolic rate, standard activity multipliers) or, for AI-generated meal plans, by a language model applying those same formulas. On meal-plan pages the carbohydrate figure for each meal is calculated by difference: total calories minus protein and fat calories, divided by 4. It is not measured or estimated on its own, so read it as an arithmetic balance and not as an independent nutritional analysis of the dish. None of it is individualized medical or nutritional advice, and none of it has been reviewed by a registered dietitian, physician or other licensed healthcare professional.
Ask your doctor or a registered dietitian what is right for you before starting a new diet, especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a diagnosed medical condition, take prescription medication, or have a history of disordered eating. If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, ask your clinician before raising protein.
Mealyno never recommends a calorie target below your calculated Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), the minimum energy your body needs at complete rest. Even the most aggressive weight-loss setting is clamped at that floor.
Calorie and BMR estimates use the Mifflin-St Jeor equation (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).
