THE CALORIES RANGES 

  • 300-500 calories for your MEALS
  • 150-300 calories for your SNACKS

THE LOWER CALORIE RANGE (Weight Loss)

  • 3 MEALS x 300 calories = 900 calories
  • 2 SNACKS x 150 calories = 300 calories
  • 900 minimum MEAL calories + 300 minimum SNACK calories = 1,200 TOTAL calories for the day

THE HIGHER CALORIES RANGE (Maintenance)

  • 3 MEAL x 500 calories = 1,500 calories
  • 2 SNACK x 300 calories = 600 calories
  • 1,500 maximum MEAL calories + 600 maximum SNACK calories = 2,100 TOTAL calories for the day
