Sample food plans?

[Robyn81478]

Is there anywhere on the internet or this site that I can’t seem to find that have good sample diets for those trying to lose inches, but preserve as much muscle as possible? I know the kinds of foods to eat in general, but I’d like to see some daily diet plans layed out for say, a 1200 calorie a day diet. I’m basically looking for new ideas to change up my daily eating habits. I’m getting bored with what I’m eating (oatmeal, salads, chicken breasts, etc.) and I want to switch it up a bit.

I dont think this answers your question, but this site is great, it might help you out a bit. FitDay Calorie Counter - How many calories in All Foods?

And you are only consuming 1200 cals a day? Thats pretty low isnt it?

Meal 1 - High in protien and carbs. Its ok to spike your blood sugar first thing in the morning.

Example: 2 scoops of whey and half cup oats in water, Oranje juice.

Meal 2 - High in protein and moderate complex carbs

Example: can of tuna, light mayo on a Low carb wrap

Meal 3 - High in protein and moderate complex carbs

example: 5 oz chicken breast, cup brown rice

Meal 4 - (pre workout) High in protein and High in complex carbs

Meal 7 - Protein and EFA's and low carbs

I switched to this style of diet when i hit a plateu and I busted through it like a Mac truck. Im almost losing weight too fast now. lol. Of course you being a female and 60lbs smaller than me you could probably adjust the portion sizes down a little but youre still gonna get more than 1200 kcal/day as you should.

Thanks for both responses. I tried the tuna salad on a low carb wrap today. Pretty good, though my tuna salad was much tastier than the wrap, lol.

Yes, 1200 calories. I have very low maintenance calories. I've been hovering around 1400 calories and the weight is STUCK on there. Well, stuck to my thighs anyway. My stomach is shaping up nicely, my arms are getting more defined, my booty has lost good flab. The thighs are just sticking around and they're FAT!!!
