1400 Calorie Meal Plan



Dear Boys and Girls,

Here's a sample meal plan that I copied from the Million Dollar Body Club. Let's say I wanted to drop a few pounds, at 5'5" and 133 lbs. I would use this plan. In fact, I usually eat about 1400 calories and find that I am at my leanest when I stay around this range.

For the past month, I've been super lazy when it comes to tracking my food. Um, I think it's time to get unlazy again. So, I am committing to tracking my food intake FOR ONE WEEK. I think I can handle that!

Bring it, people! If you want to see changes on the scale and in the mirror, you really do have to watch what you put into your body!

Yours in fitness,

Barbie, PhD
