Common questions
Is 1,800 calories right for me?
Energy needs depend on age, size, sex and activity. As a rough guide, the NHS cites about 2,000 kcal a day for women and 2,500 for men. If you're unsure — especially below 1,800 kcal — check with a doctor or registered dietitian first.
Can I swap meals between days?
Yes. Every breakfast, lunch and dinner in this plan is portioned to the same daily total, so swapping like-for-like keeps you on target.
How are the numbers worked out?
Calories and macros are estimates from standard food composition values for each ingredient amount shown. Brands vary, so treat them as a close guide rather than lab results.
