1100 Calorie Week Plan

1100 Calorie Kickstart - 7 Day Diet Plan

By Rebecca Walton, wlr team

As seen in Bella Magazine; kickstart your weight loss with this 7-day easy, speedy, diet plan - giving you around 1100 calories per day.

1100 calories gives room enough for your drinks, snacks, and some low-calorie treats, and you could drop a dress size in around 4 weeks following this menu - meals have full ingredient information and instructions, with detailed recipes where needed.

All the dishes in this low-cal plan use everday ingredients you can get in your local store...

And... as they're all quick to make (with dinners on the table in less than 45 minutes, and most around the 20-30 minute mark), you'll be working toward your weight loss goals without having to spend loads of time planning and cooking!

To make it even easier for you to follow, there's a pdf download available.

How to Use this Plan

The plan gives around 1100 calories per day, and shows you the calories for each meal, with daily totals. There's 3 meals a day, so you'll need to add in any drinks or snacks.

The best way to follow the plan is to personalise it for yourself:

  • Choose the meals you like the look of
  • Adapt meals that don't quite suit your tastes
  • Adjust portion sizes to fit your own calorie goals

Add in some healthy, low calorie snacks...

Don't forget to count your drinks; most contain calories... you can check the calorie content of your favourite tipple or hot beverage in wlr.

You can also use the tools in wlr to calculate how many calories you need to lose weight, and you can knock the plan into exactly the right shape for yourself, it's free to try.
