7 - Day Calorie Deficit Meal Plan

A 7-day calorie deficit meal plan is a structured eating guide where you consume fewer calories than your body burns each day, creating a deficit that leads to weight loss over time. The idea is not about extreme restriction but about portion control, nutrient balance, and sustainability.

Instead of cutting out entire food groups, the plan focuses on whole, nutrient-dense foods that keep you full while lowering overall calorie intake.

🔑 Core Principles of a Calorie Deficit Plan

1. Calorie target – Usually 300–700 calories less than daily maintenance (enough for ~0.5–1kg weight loss per week).
2. High protein intake – Preserves muscle mass while losing fat (chicken, fish, eggs, legumes, tofu, Greek yogurt).
3. High-fiber foods – Vegetables, fruits, oats, beans help you stay full on fewer calories.
4. Healthy fats in moderation – Avocado, nuts, olive oil keep hormones balanced but are calorie-dense.
5. Controlled carbs – Focused on whole grains and low-GI foods for steady energy.
6. Hydration & low-calorie drinks – Water, green tea, and black coffee instead of sodas or juices.

✅ Benefits
