How to customize this menu
Weigh eggs without shells
100 g of edible portion equals approximately two medium eggs. Egg sizes vary, so use weight as a guide.
Prepare dinner without frying
Cottage cheese can be served separately, and vegetables can be cut into bread. Walnuts are already included in the menu; additional oil for this dinner is not required for calculation.
Daily shopping list
Duplicate ingredients are combined. These are the total weights of portions in the specified form, and not the weight of raw purchases: for ready-made cereals and meat, a different amount of the original product will be required. Consider the skin, bones, canned liquid and package size.

Frequently asked questions
Is it possible to reschedule a snack for the evening?
Yes. Yogurt and orange can be eaten after dinner if it is more convenient. If portions stay the same, total calories and macros will not change.
How much weight can you lose on 1300 kcal?
You can't predict this from the menu alone. Weight changes depend on your energy expenditure and many other factors; A fixed result for a week or month is not promised here.
How are calories and macros calculated?
For each ingredient, the reference value per 100 g is multiplied by the serving weight and divided by 100. The totals of meals are added up for the day. Calories are rounded to whole, macros - to tenths of a gram; The sum of the rounded values of individual ingredients may differ slightly from the total of the dish.
Below is the editorial guide used in this example. These are approximate values for typical products, without reference to brand or laboratory analysis. Calorie content is taken as a separate indicator and, due to fiber and rounding, may differ from the conversion using the formula 4/9/4. Use the label for your products.
