Who should try this diet?

If you’re focused on losing weight, a diet that aims for an average of 1,900 calories can be a highly effective approach. This calorie level provides ample energy to support your daily activities and exercise routines, while creating enough of a caloric deficit to encourage weight loss.

Of course, this amount of calories should only be followed by individuals with a moderate level of activity.

However! It’s important to keep in mind that everyone’s calorie requirements are unique. Therefore, determining the appropriate daily calorie intake based on your specific goals, whether it be losing fat, building muscle, or adopting a healthy lifestyle, is paramount for success.

If following this style of meal plan creates unwanted weight loss, it may be necessary to increase total calories consumed accordingly.

Ingredients

100 grams Chicken Breast
3 tsp Olive Oil
1/4 medium Courgette (zucchini)
3 medium White Button Mushrooms
4 Cherry Tomatoes
1/4 medium Red Onion
1 clove Garlic
40 grams Brown Rice
80 ml Chicken Stock
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/4 tsp Sweet Smoked Paprika
1/4 tsp Dried Parsley
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper

Instructions

Step 1: It’s seasoning time! Get that chicken all spiced up with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and dried parsley.

Step 2: Time to heat things up! Grab a skillet and heat up half the olive oil over medium heat. It’s about to get sizzling!

Step 3: Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until it’s no longer pink and almost cooked through. We’re getting that beautiful golden crust!

Step 4: Transfer that tasty chicken to a plate.

Step 5: Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and toss in some chopped red onions, mushrooms, courgettes, tomatoes, and garlic. Let them dance around for 3-4 minutes until half of the liquid released from the mushrooms has evaporated.

Step 6: Time to bring in the rice (quinoa also works well) and chicken stock! Add them to the party in the pan. Bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cover it up. Let it simmer and work its flavor magic for 10-12 minutes, until most of the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 7: Let’s add some color with peas! Stir them in and then bring back the chicken to the pan. Cover it up and let it cook for 4-5 more minutes on medium-low, making sure the chicken is fully cooked through.

Serve up and enjoy!

20g Fat

Ingredients

100 grams Ground Beef (5% fat)
1 Egg
25 grams Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs
1/2 medium Onion
1 tsp Sweet Smoked Paprika
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 medium Carrot
2 cloves Garlic
1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
1 stalk Celery
25 ml Red Wine
90 grams Chopped Tomatoes (canned)
50 grams Tomato Passata
20 ml Milk (1% fat)
30 grams Spinach
20 grams Mozzarella Cheese (whole milk)

Instructions

Step 1: Start off by finely slicing your onion and garlic. Then, chop your carrot and celery into 1-cm (ish) cubes.

Step 2: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, place the beef mince, half the sliced onion, egg, breadcrumbs, rosemary, half the garlic, and half the paprika. 

Step 3: Mix with a spoon to combine well. Season a little with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Form the mince mixture into ping-pong-sized meatballs and lay them on a plate. Then, place them in the fridge to chill for around 10 minutes.

Step 5: Line a baking tray or oven-proof dish with half the olive oil and preheat your oven to 180°C.

Step 6: Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7: Add meatballs to the frying pan and cook for around 5 minutes ensuring they’re browning evenly on each side. Once they’re well browned, transfer to a plate on the side. 

Step 8: Using the same pan throw in the remaining onion, carrot, celery, remaining garlic, and remaining paprika. Stir for around 5 mins or until the onion softens and becomes translucent. 

Step 9: Add the wine and allow the mix to come to a nice simmer before adding the canned tomato, passata, and milk. 

Step 10: Stir to ensure all is combined and bring to a gentle simmer. Once the liquid begins to reduce, remove from the heat, season, and add the spinach. 

Step 11: Place the meatballs into the baking tray, and pour the tomato mix over the meatballs in the baking tray.  

Step 12: Shred the mozzarella over the top and place it in the oven to bake for between 20 and 25 minutes. 

Step 13: When the mozzarella has browned and the liquid has reduced to a creamy consistency, you’re ready to roll! 

Step 14: Serve up and enjoy!
