Can Your Muscles And Bones Survive On 1800 Calories Per Day?


guide to definition


If you need an 1800 calorie diet take a look at the five diet samples below. Each diet was used for only one day, after five days all diets were repeated to try to limit any deficiencies in nutrition. To keep calories low water made up most fluid intake but still allowed up to 5 cups of tea or coffee using sweeteners and skimmed milk.

I included many of the foods I love to eat but simply ate them less frequently, instead most meals were made up of healthy low calorie / fat foods. I included a day for a McDonalds lunch and simply compensated for this indulgence by eating more fruit and low calorie foods. Having the occasional treat helped me stick to an 1800 calorie diet for longer as I felt I never missed out on anything!

If you want to follow an 1800 calorie diet you should stick to your normal food choices as these diets are for demonstration purposes only. If you decide to follow an 1800 calorie diet or any diet samples on this website you must seek a dietician's approval beforehand. Please read our Terms!
