Do you have a daily 1500 calorie goal to meet? Then you need to try one of my meal prep plans that makes hitting it a breeze!
Putting together your own meal prep plan can be time consuming and frustrating. To solve that problem, I’m sharing two different menus that I personally use to eat 1500 calories a day.
They are full of savory entrees, vibrant salads, and delectable snacks that are high in protein and rich with whole grains and nutrients to help you achieve sustainable weight loss.
Say goodbye to bland, boring meal preps and hello to these flavor-filled recipes that will keep you feeling full and fueled throughout the day!
If you need to eat less calories, try these 1200 calorie meal prep plans.
1500 Calorie Meal Plan A
Breakfast
(Approximately 289 calories)
Starting your morning off with Overnight Protein Oats topped with a sliced banana (+105 calories) is a great way to get the right amount of protein and carbs to power you through until lunch.
Lunch
(Approximately 456 calories)
This taco bowl is a reader favorite for good reasons – it has all the flavors you crave at lunchtime and it is quick to prep thanks to canned beans and frozen vegetables.
Dinner
(Approximately 400 calories)
You’ll never prep dry, bland chicken breasts again once you try this flavorful chicken thigh meal prep. It’s closer to comfort food than it is diet food!
Post Workout Snack or Dessert
(Approximately 160 calories)
To get an extra protein boost after a workout, I have a couple of Chocolate Protein Pancakes topped with fresh berries. They’re both a snack and a dessert! Add 1/2 cup berries (+24 calories) and 1/2 tablespoon peanut butter (+47 calories) to meet your calorie goal.
1500 Calorie Meal Plan B
Breakfast
(Approximately 354 calories)
These Protein Waffles are so satisfying that it’s hard to believe just how low in carbs they are. Top with peanut butter and berries for the ultimate breakfast treat.
Lunch
(Approximately 281 calories)
Chef Salads are one of my favorite work week meal preps because of how simple they are to put together. Just slice some deli meats and cheeses, then add a few veggies and a hard-boiled egg. Pair it with two tablespoons of greek yogurt ranch (+60 calories) and you’ve got a great lunch!
Dinner
(Approximately 303 calories)
Teriyaki chicken is a classic meal prep for a reason. It’s low in fat and sugar, but full of flavor. I like to pair mine with some steamed or sautéed vegetables on the side. Add 1/4 cup cooked quinoa (+57 calories) to hit your daily calorie goal.
Post Workout Snack or Dessert
(Approximately 428 calories)
If you love a pre-workout snack that doubles as a dessert, you’ve got to try these Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats. They’ll satisfy your sweet tooth and fuel you through your workout.
