About this plan

What does a 1,500 calorie standard plan look like?

Across these three days, the plan ranges from 1477 to 1496 calories per day and averages 116g of protein. Day 3 is the highest-protein day at 124g, while Day 2 lands closest to the 1,500-calorie target. This variation is normal: the planner balances whole meals over the sample rather than forcing every day to end on an identical number.

The sample includes 9 meal periods built from 13 recipes. It is generated from Meal Matcher’s real recipe catalogue, then limited to recipes whose ingredients can be mapped for Tesco. That makes it a working preview of the planner rather than a hand-written list of meal ideas.

Three days is long enough to see how breakfast, lunch and dinner fit together without publishing an entire personalised week or its full shopping list. When you build your own plan, you can change calories, dietary preference and supermarket, then save or swap meals around your routine.

1,500 calories is not right for everyone. Energy needs vary with body size, activity, goals and health. Treat this as a planning example rather than personal medical advice; use your own target or ask a qualified professional if you are unsure.

Is this exactly 1,500 calories every day?

The three days average 1489 calories. Individual days vary slightly because the planner uses practical portions and complete recipes.

Can I generate another version?

Yes. The regenerate button builds a temporary new three-day sample. The URL itself continues to show the reviewed default plan.

Where is the complete shopping list?

The public page shows only a few retailer-matched examples. The full quantities and shopping workflow are available inside the planner.
