1500 Calorie Diet Plan with Healthy Low Fat Meal Plan

If you are still searching for a 1500 Calorie Diet then I think you will like this low fat meal plan. It is simple and healthy, and especially very much heart friendly, that is why I’m sure you’ll love it.

It would be perfect if you consume well balanced and complete meals but that’s easier to say than to be done sometimes. Anyway, if you really want to get as closer as possible to a healthy diet plan then you should follow a few very simple rules:

1. Plan your foods ahead, for example the night before. Make sure you always have what you need – your low fat foods should be always at your disposal, so that you don’t need to skip one or two, or worse – to replace them for high fat foods that aren’t even on your grocery list or in the menu.

Speaking of the list, here it is:

Meat/Fish
Turkey Breast (white meat, 14 ounces)
Chicken Breast (white meat, 28 ounces)
Halibut (broiled, 35 ounces)
Fruits
Apple, Banana, Orange (medium sized, 7 each)
Vegetables
Broccoli (7 spears)
Diary
Milk (2% fat, 7 cups)
Mayo (regular with salt, 1 cup)
Cream, fluid, half and half (7 tablespoons)
Grains
Whole Wheat Bread (14 slices)
Rice (white, 7 cups)

2. Consuming small meals and snacks is best, let’s say about 4 to 6 a day.

3. Eat slowly – no need to dine for 2 and half hours, but also don’t swallow your meal for about 15 minutes, just take your time and enjoy your food no matter how much in a hurry you are.

4. Count the calories you eat. It’s easy and below I will give you the exact calorie count of each product you’ll be using in your 1500 calorie low fat meal plan.

5. Healthier food choices are the smarter food choices, so make sure you select a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables; low and fat free diary products and whole grain cereals; low fat meats and fish, poultry without the skin. 6. Eat fruits and vegetables – lots of it. It is the best thing to do for your healthy 1500 calorie diet with a low fat meal plan. Start with 5 veggie and fruit servings a day. 7. Avoid foods that are high in fats and sugars, which automatically means more calories. Foods that aren’t in your grocery list are preferably not to be used, such as candies and candy bars, pastries and similar...
