Meal Plan: Pizza Pie

Dave here with another powerful meal plan for you.

Allow me to introduce you to… Socca! Nope, not twenty two millionaires running around a pitch, but a fantastic base for pizza.

Made from chickpea flour, it’s full of legume-y goodness (so lots of nice protein) and it’s also gluten-free (a nice change).

I’ve suggested some of my favourite toppings, but of course feel free to use your own here instead.

As always, the rest of the meals are made to keep you feeling full, and not spending too much time in the kitchen. Further below you’ll see which recipes can also be ade in advance and/or frozen.

On to this plan’s stats:

• you’ll be getting 64g protein at about 1250kcals (three main meals);
• or 85g of protein at about 1500kcal per day with snacks;
• if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 107g protein at 2000kcal per day.

If you’re not sure how many calories you should be eating please have a quick read through this page on calories.

Enjoy the recipes. Please give me a shout if any questions.

Dave 🙂

PS. don’t forget – further down on this page is a list of which recipes can be made ahead, which can be frozen and some vegan alternatives if you fancy them.

Day 7 is all up to you. It’s a great day for leftovers, or if you want to go out to eat. Buddha Bowls or Burrito Bowls are a great way to use up leftovers. We still recommend keeping the calories to about 1300kcal if weight loss is a priority.

Recipe Tips:

• Breakfast Egg Muffins can be made with regular tofu if you can’t find smoked (firm is always best).
• Use a different cheese if you don’t like goat’s cheese in the Couscous and Pear Salad.
• The Fried Chickpeas are nicer when served right away.
• Add your personal fave toppings to the Banana Egg Pancakes and Socca Pizza.
• Broccili and Rice Stir-fry: Feel free to use frozen broccoli, works nicely as well.

Meal Prep (Quick Tutorial): These recipes can be made ahead.
