This is a sample, not advice

It shows a week that adds up at one calorie level. How much a person should eat depends on that person: their size, their activity, their health and what they are working towards. A registered dietitian or a qualified coach sets a person's real targets, and anyone with a medical condition should ask their doctor or dietitian first.

The week was built by the same code that builds a week in Peas & Pans: it picks from our recipe library, sizes each meal in half servings, and keeps every day within 5% of the calorie and protein targets. No recipe appears more than twice.
