Menu Outline: Low Calorie
If you’re looking to create a low-calorie Menu, we’ve done the work to help you get started! These delicious recipes make a great beginning point as you begin to build Menus within your Meal Planner.
We’ve laid out 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches, and 3 dinners for you - we recommend scaling the recipes up to make enough for leftovers (see how here). That way, you get 6 days of recipes, and room for a day of flexibility too. The below recipes are some of our favorites that are delicious and low-calorie. (Some recipes call for olive oil to saute vegetables. To lighten the calories even more, feel free to omit the oil and saute with water or vegetable broth!)
