3rd October – Protein Bonanza

Hi, healthy veggies 🥦
Another week of amazing meal plans has arrived👋
Bored with normal toast? Need something special? Try our High-Protein Toast with Apples🍎🍏! It’s a delicious, guilt-free version that doesn’t compromise on flavor!
Meet our Sweet Potato Burritos🍠 – a tasty blend of Spanish and Mexican flavors, created by Lorena, a skilled chef from Barcelona. This is my fave on Friday night – what a way to start the weekend!
They’re also family-friendly and easy to make in large batches, so they are a perfect fit for any occasion. Leftovers freeze well for quick dinners later, making very convenient too. What’s not to like?
Enjoyyyyy! 😋
On to this week’s stats:
- you’ll be getting 65g protein at about 1250kcals (three main meals);
- or 87g of protein at about 1490kcal per day with snacks, (or even more, if you decide to skip the Chocolate Protein Pudding snack for another protein shake);
- if you include the big snack, then you’ll be at 111g protein at 2030kcal per day.
If you’re not sure how many calories you should be eating please have a quick read through this page on calories.
Don’t hesitate to give me a shout if you have any questions!

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:
- Yogurt Breakfast with Raspberry Compote: use any berries you like!
- Lentil Patties can be used as burgers to make things more exciting for kids!
- You can use up lots of leftovers with the Healthy Refried Beans and Tortillas.
- Everything Omelette: don’t be shy to throw in leftovers! It’s a great way to use food up and make sure nothing is wasted!
- Sweet Potato Burritos: the sweet potatoes can also be cooked in the microwave to save time. Just remember to pierce them a few times first!
- If you include snacks in the meal plan, make sure you select 4 servings Chocolate Protein Pudding for less food waste.
