Absolutely, you can definitely mix and match meals if there’s one you don’t like. If you’re closely monitoring protein, fiber or other nutrients, it may be helpful to choose a meal with a similar nutrition profile. For this plan, we aimed for 1,800 calories, a minimum of 90 grams of protein and 30 grams of fiber and a maximum of 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day. We provided an array of high-protein and high-fiber recipes, though it definitely works to repeat a meal or two. For even more inspiration, check out all of our high-protein<\/a> and high-fiber recipes<\/a>. Yes, if it’s easier for your routine then you can definitely eat the same breakfast or lunch every day. Each breakfast ranges from 319 to 432 calories while lunch options span 400 to 478 calories. These ranges are fairly similar, so a simple swap should work for most people, though you could always adjust a snack or two if needed. Unlike natural sugars, which are found in fruits, vegetables and dairy, added sugars are added during food processing to provide sweetness. While added sugars are fine in moderation, many of us are eating more than we realize, with the average American adult consuming an average of 17 teaspoons of added sugar per day.<\/span> Added sugars are found in a variety of foods, such as granola bars, desserts, sweetened beverages, dressings, packaged snacks and more. Take a peek at the nutrition label<\/a> to see where added sugars may be making their way into your routine.

We no longer provide modifications for 1,200-calorie days in our meal plans. The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans suggests that limiting calories to 1,200 per day is too low for most people to meet their nutritional needs, plus it’s unsustainable for long-term health and well-being.<\/span><\/p>"
