Nutritional Balance
Every meal plan clearly states the macros and calories. We also ensure a comprehensive consideration of micronutrients, offering a diverse selection of whole-plant foods to meet your nutritional requirements.
Gluten-Free Options
Our plans are either gluten-free or can be easily adapted to be gluten-free. We focus on whole plant foods, with some healthier, minimally processed options like tofu, cocoa powder, bread, and sriracha.
Natural Protein Sources
We avoid mock meats in our recipes. Instead, our protein sources include legumes, tofu, tempeh, textured vegetable protein, seitan, and protein powder.

While they may work just fine, these meal plans are balanced and not explicitly optimised for either fat loss or muscle gain. You may like to tweak them yourself, eg, adding a little low-calorie vegetables or fruits to make them more filling, or going for a lower calorie plan than you need and adding some extra high-protein foods. We do offer a personalised meal plans service

Nutrient Intake: With the lowest calorie plans, if you don’t eat a variety of the prescribed meals, you may fall slightly short of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for certain nutrients. This can depend on your meal choices, sex, stage of life, etc. You can monitor your nutrient status using an app like Cronometer. It’s unnecessary to hit every nutrient target 100% daily; you can balance it out over several days. If you prefer a limited range of meals and notice a particular nutrient is low, consider occasionally adding a supplement.
Macros and Calories: The macros and calories for each meal are approximate and may vary slightly. If you input these meals into apps like Cronometer or MyFitnessPal, the values might not match exactly due to variability between products and foods listed in the apps. Additionally, some items in these apps may not show all the nutrients present in certain foods, so choose carefully if you’re tracking nutrient levels.
