If you’re a fairly large man who exercises regularly but still has a spare tire, a 2200 calorie diet plan can help you lose weight. You don’t have the right to eat anything you want just because you can eat a little more than other individuals and still lose weight. With a 2200 calorie meal plan, your food plan must still include all of the nutrients that your bigger body need, including protein, vitamins, and minerals. As a result, it’s critical that you pay attention to the number of servings from each food category that is suggested for you.
You’ll be guaranteed to satisfy your nutritional requirements this way. Kerri Ann Jennings will note that your plan looks very similar to the lower-calorie diet plans in this series. Throughout the day, you just consume a few extra portions of diverse meals.
Who should take the 2200 calorie meal plan?
If you’re a large-framed, active guy looking to lose weight, a 2200 calorie meal plan could be ideal for you. Unless your exercise level is really high, this diet may be too high in calories for you if you are a girl or a smaller-framed guy. A weight loss rate of no more than 2 pounds (1 kg) each week is deemed safe. If you’re losing weight faster than that, progressively add servings from any food category to your diet until you reach a calorie level that allows you to lose weight safely. If you’re having trouble losing weight, try the 1800 calorie diet.
Regular exercise, like any diet plan, is not only a healthy habit, but it also helps you burn more calories and achieve your weight objectives.
2200 calorie meal plan overview
Every day, this plan calls for three meals and three snacks. The general breakdown for the 2200 calorie diet plan is as follows:
Breakfast: 2 protein + 1 fruit (+ veggies if preferred) + 1 starch/grain
Snack: 1 oz. of protein
Lunch: 2 protein + 2 vegetables + leafy greens + 1 starch/grain + 1 flavor enhancer + 1 fruit
Snack: 1 protein snack + 1 fruit or vegetable
Dinner: 2 Protein + 2 Starch/Grain + 2 Vegetable + Leafy Greens + 2 Taste Enhancer
Snack: 1 fruit
Daily total: 6 protein, 3-4 fruit, 5-6 vegetable, 4 starch/grain, 2 protein snacks, no limit on leafy greens, 3 taste enhancers
The beauty of this system is that it’s simple to use and allows you to tailor your menus to your preferences. Three meals and snacks are scheduled for mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and after supper in my 2200 calorie meal plan.
Some folks, for example, like to have a larger noon meal, so they’ll steal a carbohydrate or grain dish from dinner and eat it at lunch instead. If you’re on the road or don’t feel like cooking, you can always replace one or two meals with a Herbalife Formula 1 Healthy Meal Drink or a Herbalife Express Meal Bar. Herbalife Protein Bars are another great method to ensure that your snacks are high in protein.
