How We Create Meal Plans
Registered dietitians thoughtfully create EatingWells meal plans to be easy-to-follow and delicious.
For that reason, we are skipping added sugar altogether in this meal plan.

We also set it at 1,500 calories, which is a level at which most people will lose weight.
This 1,500-calorie meal plan has modifications for 2,000 calories to support those with differentcalorie needs.
While we previously included meal plans and modifications for 1,200 calories, we no longer do.
