10 Week Nutrition Plan Welcome and thank you for your interest in taking the next step to health! We hope you find this eating plan a starting point to making healthier food choices and a tool to reach your own personal goals! It is important to understand each person is different--this eating plan was designed to provide a framework, but some people may need more or less depending upon individual needs. The overall goal is 3 meals and 2 snacks daily with an effort to eat every 2-3 hours. This boosts your metabolism to consistently burn calories rather than storing due to long amounts of time between meals. To ensure you are eating an adequate amount of calories, determine your minimum daily needs: Current weight (lbs) divided by 2.2 = kg. Now take kg x 25= minimum amount of calories to consume daily. This will maintain your current weight, if you are looking to lose weight, subtract 500 calories daily. If you are looking to gain weight, increase 500 calories daily. This will promote 1-2 lbs per week=healthy, maintainable weight change! This will help determine if you need to adjust the following eating plan with a few more or few less calories than indicated. The goal is to include 5 food groups at each meal and at least 2 of the 5 at snack. If you do not like the fruit or vegetable indicated, please substitute any other fruit or vegetable per your liking. Same is true for grain, protein, and dairy. For a tailored individual eating plan Ask A Dietitian at idahodairy.com or visit choosemyplate.gov for more information regarding the 5 food groups. One last tip, which happens to be my personal favorite, it s important to treat yourself. Evidence indicates people who treat themselves once weekly are much more likely to stick with a plan than those who restrict themselves from the foods they enjoy. Although dessert is not drafted into the following eating plan, take one meal out of the week and splurge! If pizza is your choice-do it! Maybe it s a burger, fries, and milkshake? It s ok once per week! This is a lifestyle change, not a diet! Find something realistic, you can do forever! Quick Tips to Keep You on Track Eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day Eat every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolism going. Ensure you are eating enough calories Eat 3 out of the 5 food groups at every meal Eat 2 out of the 5 food groups at every snack Treat yourself once a week! Brought to you by:
