- 2 salmon fillets (150g each)
- 500g skinless chicken breast
- 200g peeled shrimp

Sunday Meal Prep Tips
Cook a full cup of quinoa on Sunday — it yields 3 cups cooked and covers Wednesday's bowl, Thursday's tuna salad, and Sunday's lunch with no extra effort.
Portion your Greek yogurt into individual containers (150g each) on Sunday so breakfast is a 30-second grab-and-go. Add the berries and chia seeds the night before.
Roast a full sheet pan of mixed vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers) on Sunday at 400°F for 20 minutes — they're ready to add to any meal mid-week without extra cooking.
Recipes for This Plan
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories is this weight loss meal plan?
This plan is designed to target 1,400–1,600 calories per day, which creates a moderate deficit of 400–600 calories for most adults. The exact number depends on your meal sizes — the plan uses high-volume, high-protein meals so you feel full even at the lower calorie count. Protein targets are 100–130g per day, which helps preserve muscle while losing fat.
What is the best 7-day diet plan for weight loss?
The most effective 7-day diet plan for weight loss is one that's high in protein (to preserve muscle and reduce hunger), high in fiber (to keep you full), and built around whole foods rather than processed alternatives. This plan targets 30–40g of protein per meal from sources like chicken breast, salmon, eggs, Greek yogurt, and legumes — which clinical research consistently shows reduces hunger more effectively than calorie restriction alone.
Can I lose weight in 7 days with this meal plan?
You can lose 0.5–1 kg in 7 days following this plan, primarily from reduced water retention and a genuine calorie deficit. Real fat loss takes longer — roughly 0.5 kg per week with a consistent 500-calorie deficit. The most important thing this 7-day plan does is establish the habits: high-protein breakfasts, vegetable-heavy meals, and no processed snacks. Those habits compound over 4–8 weeks into meaningful, lasting weight loss.
