How to customize this menu
Weigh the avocado pulp
The menu includes 60 g without peel and pit. “Half an avocado” is not an accurate measure because the size of the fruit varies markedly.
Distribute the oil in advance
10 g are allotted for lunch and dinner. If part is used for cooking, it should be included in this portion, and not added on top of it.
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 replace bulgur with buckwheat?
Yes. According to the values of this menu, 200 g of boiled bulgur is about 166 kcal, 150 g of ready-made buckwheat gives about the same amount. The macros will be slightly different after replacement.
Do you need to eat at a specific time?
In this example, no time is specified. Arrange four meals so they fit into your day; Individual medical advice takes precedence.
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.
