How We Create Meal Plans

Registered dietitians thoughtfully createEatingWellsmeal plans to be easy-to-follow and delicious.

Although it’s just one piece of the puzzle, excess weightcan contribute to increased chronic inflammation.

To promote weight loss, we set this plan at 1,500 calories per day.

While we previously included meal plans and modifications for 1,200 calories, we no longer do.
