How to Create a Personalized Diet Plan As recommended by Susan Bowerman, M.S., RD, CSSD, CSOWM, FAND – Senior Director, Worldwide Nutrition Education and Training Herbalife Nutrition Combine the right foods in the right portions. When you have a personalized diet plan laid out for you, it can help you learn proper portion sizes and keep your calorie intake in check. These sample can be especially useful if you‟re just starting out and don‟t really know what you should be eating, or how much. So, this week I‟ve decided to share my sample diet plans with you, too. We‟re going to go through this process step-by-step, so today‟s post will give you an overview of the steps you‟ll take in creating your own personalized diet plan. First, you‟ll want to become familiar with portion sizes of the various foods within each food group that will make up your personalized diet plan. That‟s today‟s lesson. Then, over the next few days I will post sample 3-day diet plans containing 1200 calories, 1500 calories, 1800 calories or 2200 calories per day, so you can choose the plan that best suits your needs. Each plan consists of three meals and at least one snack. That‟s why I include one mid-afternoon snack for everyone, with additional snacks at the higher calorie levels. Creating Your Diet Meal Plan Step 1. Learn what foods to eat at each meal and snack To keep things simple, I like to break down each meal or snack into simple units: protein, fruit, vegetables, leafy greens, starch/grain, protein snacks, and „taste enhancers.‟ Each personalized diet plan has its own basic structure based on these simple units. That way it‟s easy to remember what you should eat at each meal. Here are the basic structures for the different calorie levels: Meal Plan 1200 Calorie Diet Plan Breakfast: 1 Protein + 1 Fruit (+ Vegetables if desired) Lunch: 1 Protein + 1 Vegetable + Leafy Greens + 1 Taste Enhancer Snack: 1 Protein Snack + 1 Fruit or Vegetable Dinner: 1 Protein + 1 Starch/Grain + 2 Vegetables + Leafy Greens + 1 Taste Enhancer Snack: 1 Fruit 1500 Calorie Diet Plan Breakfast: 1 Protein + 1 Fruit (+ Vegetables if desired) Lunch: 1 Protein + 1 Vegetable + Leafy Greens + 1 Starch + 1 Taste Enhancer + 1 Fruit Snack: 1 Protein Snack + 1 Vegetable Dinner: 2 Protein + 1 Starch/Grain + 2 Vegetables + Leafy Greens + 1 Taste Enhancer Snack: 1 Fruit 1800 Calorie Diet Plan Breakfast: 1 Protein +1 Fruit (+ Vegetables if desired) Snack: 1 Protein Snack Lunch: 2 Protein + 2 Vegetables + Leafy Greens + 1 Starch/Grain + 1 Taste Enhancer + 1 Fruit Snack: 1 Protein Snack + 1 Fruit or Vegetable Dinner: 2 Protein + 1 Starch/Grain + 2 Vegetables + Leafy Greens + 1 Taste Enhancer Snack: 1 Fruit 2200 Calorie Diet Plan Breakfast: 2 Protein +1 Fruit (+ Vegetables if desired) + 1 Starch/Grain Snack: 1 Protein Snack Lunch: 2 Protein + 2 Vegetables + Leafy Greens + 1 Starch/Grain + 1 Taste Enhancer + 1 Fruit Snack: 1 Protein Snack + 1 Fruit or Vegetable Dinner: 2 Protein + 2 Starch/Grain + 2 Vegetables + Leafy Greens + 2 Taste Enhancers Snack: 1 Fruit Step 2. Learn your portion sizes Once you know the basic breakdown of your meal plan, the next step is to get familiar with the portion sizes within each of the food groups. This is one of the most important factors in keeping your calories in check. Each of the following items in each group counts as one portion. 2 +919553057999 Website: https://workwithmahesh.com Meal Plan PROTEIN – The proteins listed below are low in fat, and are the protein foods you should choose most often. Higher fat meats and dairy products, for instance, will have more calories. Protein units: 1 cup (250g) plain or vanilla nonfat yogurt or nonfat cottage cheese 3 ounces (85g) cooked poultry or lean meat 4 ounces (100g) cooked fish or shellfish 2 scoops Herbalife Formula 1 + 1 cup (250 ml) nonfat or low-fat milk* 1 whole egg + 4 egg whites OR 7 egg whites 5 ounces (125g) tofu FRUIT – Fresh or frozen fruits are generally better choices than dried fruits or fruit juices, since you will be getting the largest portion size for the calories you are eating. But I‟ve listed fruit portions in various forms, so you can choose for yourself. Fruit units: 1 cup (80g) of cut fruit or berries 1 average piece of fruit (apple, orange, banana, etc.) 1 small handful of dried fruit ½ cup (125 ml) 100% fruit juice VEGETABLE – With the exception of starchy vegetables (such as corn and peas, which are listed with the starches), vegetables have the fewest calories per bite of any foods. In fact, the calories in leafy greens such as lettuce are so low that they can be eaten in any amount. Vegetable units: 1 cup (80g) any vegetable Leafy greens – any amount. STARCH/GRAIN – The foods listed in this group are whole grain. They provide more vitamins, minerals and fiber than refined “white” starches, like white rice or white bread. Try to choose whole grains whenever possible. Starch/Grain units: ½ cup (150g) cooked grain (rice, pasta, quinoa, etc), beans, lentils, corn kernels or peas 1 slice whole grain bread ½ large potato, white or sweet 1 cup (250g) cooked rolled oats 2 corn tortillas 3 +919553057999 Website: https://workwithmahesh.com Meal Plan PROTEIN SNACKS – Protein snacks contain fewer calories and less protein than a full portion of protein. These smaller protein provide “boosts” during the day help to keep hunger at bay. Protein snacks: 1 Herbalife Protein Snack Bar Deluxe( not available in India Yet) 1 ounce (30g) roasted soy nuts 1 cup (250 ml) nonfat or low-fat milk 4 TBSP (60g) hummus ½ cup (125g) nonfat cottage cheese or flavored yogurt 1 ounce (30g) low-fat mozzarella cheese ½ cup (85 g) edamame soybeans TASTE ENHANCERS – Small amounts of fats or sweets can be used to add flavor to your foods. Each of the following items contains 60-75 calories, which is why I limit them in the diet plans. Although avocado is technically a fruit, most of its calories come from fat so it‟s counted as a taste enhancer. Similarly, while nuts do contain modest amounts of protein, most of the calories in nuts also come from fat so they are placed here. Taste enhancers: 2 TSP (10 ml) olive, canola, sunflower or safflower oil 2 TBSP (30g) reduced-calorie salad dressing ¼ medium avocado small handful of nuts ½ ounce (15g) grated Parmesan cheese 1 TBSP (20g) jam, jelly, honey, syrup, sugar 2 TBSP (30g) light cream for coffee 2 TBSP (30g) ketchup 2 TBSP (30g) low fat sour cream or low-fat mayonnaise FREE FOODS – Some food items have so few calories that they are considered free. Use the following as you wish: Mustard Vinegar Herbs and spices Garlic, onion Lemon, lime juices Salsa, hot pepper sauces, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce Extracts (vanilla, peppermint, etc.) Broth or bouillon Soy sauce Calorie-free beverages and sweeteners Pan sprays for cooking 4 +919553057999 Website: https://workwithmahesh.com
