Lose weight in just 1 month with this super effective 30-day diet plan
If you want to lose weight, the 30 day weight loss meal plan that gives you the balanced meal instruction for each day is preferable to counting the calories of what you eat daily.
- Consume lesser calories than you burn
- Divide your whole day into 3 meals and 2 snack plan
- It is important to lose 3500 calories in a week
The basic idea of a weight loss meal plan is to help you consume lesser calories than you burn. The ideal equation in this plan would be to burn off 500 calories more than what you add. Simple maths would tell you that the calories lost add up to 3500 in a week, and around half a kg in one month. Those who find it difficult to keep a track of the calories in what they eat, would do well to stick to a plan for weight loss. It would be convenient for them to know about what they need to eat daily, and do just that without bothering about keeping calorie count.
The balanced diet plan with calorie count
The idea of such 3 meals, 2 snacks plan is to divide the calories between them. In case of men, who are recommended a 2000 calorie diet, this involves having meals with 300 to 400 calories, and snacks to be around 200 calories each.
A typical example of such a plan has recommendations for what to eat in breakfast, dinner and lunch. It can be something like:
Breakfast: Half a cup of egg whites with two slices of whole wheat toast. Have this with one tablespoon of butter or else an apple with two tablespoons of peanut butter.
Snack: 250 ml yoghurt made from skimmed milk, half cup of berries, 1 tablespoon of agave nectar, or a 200 calorie protein bar.
Lunch: Salad with three cups of spinach or romaine lettuce two tablespoons of full fat dressing. A large whole wheat wrap, with alfalfa sprouts, a tablespoon of honey mustard dressing, half of a small avocado and 50 to 60 ml of tofu. You can replace honey mustard dressing with the salad that has full fat dressing.
Dinner: A cup of cooked quinoa with 4 cups of roasted vegetables cooked with two tablespoon of olive oil, and half of a sweet potato with a little bit of butter.

It makes sense too as you cannot go on repeating only one such diet plan for a month. With such a weight loss meal plan with you, the hassles of figuring out the calorie count of what you are eating gets over. You only need to look up the plan for the day, and eat accordingly during the day.
