Meal Plans

My 5:2 Meal Plan for this week: 

Fast Days: Monday and Wednesday

I choose days towards to the beginning of the week as it makes me feel better to get the fasting days done so I can enjoy the non-fasting days more. Also it gives me a little wiggle room if something unexpected comes up, for example, cakes at work, last minute drinks with a friend. I then have the rest of the week to still complete both fast days.

Remember this is a 500 calorie limit for women. Men you can add another 100 calories per fast day to this meal plan.

Monday:

Breakfast (7am):  Black coffee, Slice of wholemeal bread topped with a boiled egg - 170 calories

Snack (10am): Half a medium apple - 50 calories

Lunch (1pm): Vegetable Soup - 60 calories

Snack (4pm): Half a medium apple - 50 calories

Dinner (7pm): Half a cup steamed broccoli, half a cup steamed green beans, half a cup steamed carrots, 3oz Smoked Salmon - 170 calories
