Notes: Use this chart to help you build a solid meal plan. Each number here represents how many portions you can have for each category of food per meal. Use the Meal Plan Serving Size doc to help you create your actual diet and multiple options to keep things interesting. You will notice that your fat content on the chart does not add up to 50g. This is because there will certainly be fat in the protein you will be consuming. You can have one TREAT MEAL PER WEEK. When you cheat do not think of it as a day of ravenous eating. Instead think of it as a day where you can enjoy a meal that you love without guilt. If you have any questions let me know.
Good luck.
