Meagan’s easy and balanced meal plan
“Perfect for people on the go! It’s simple, high in protein, and keeps you full,” says Meagan.
Lunch: Tuna salad sandwich with protein chips
“It’s super easy to put together and packed with nutrients,” she shares.
To curb unnecessary snacking, Meagan includes a protein shake between meals to stay full and energised.
Dinner: Low-calorie hamburger
“Nothing beats ending the night with a burger, but I swap the bun for shredded lettuce, which keeps me full longer and cuts down calories,” she explains.
Dessert: Protein yogurt with blueberries and dark chocolate
“I love ending my day with something sweet, so I top protein yoghurt with blueberries and a bit of dark chocolate,” Meagan adds.
How to plan meals for weight loss
Meagan further elaborated in her caption on the key principles she follows while putting together her meals:
Prioritise protein: Helps keep you full and reduces unnecessary snacking.
Increase volume: Adding low-calorie ingredients like fruits and vegetables makes meals more satisfying.
Keep it simple: The easier a meal is to prepare, the more likely you are to stick to it.
Make it enjoyable: Meagan believes weight loss shouldn’t feel like a punishment. Enjoying the process makes it easier to stay consistent.
She follows the 80/20 approach, ensuring 80% of her meals come from whole, nutritious foods while allowing 20% for fun treats to maintain balance.
