print2 Week Starter Plan
Need some guidance on getting your diet started? Our nutritionist has put together a 2 week healthy eating plan to give you some inspiration.
Here's how it works:
- Simply pick and mix from the breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack suggestions. Choose one breakfast, one lunch, one dinner and one to two snacks each day.
- The daily meal combinations typically contain 1200 - 1400 calories. It is important that you eat a minimum of 1200 calories per day.
- In addition you have a 125ml semi skimmed milk allowance for tea and coffee. If you do not have milk in your drinks, have a Yoplait Petit Filous Fromage Frais (flavour of your choice) instead - approx 60 calories.
Breakfast Choices
Pick one each day. Don't be tempted to skip! Try to vary what you choose across the week.
