Keeping It Simple Meal Plan Sample Packet
MBK Monthly CHOOSING SUCCESS Balanced Macros for weight loss is based on 1000 calories (with minimal exercise, <30 minutes per day), 40% protein, 35% high fiber carbs (fruits, veggies, whole grains), and 25% fats with 20+g fiber. This plan is more closely based on the Dietary Reference Intakes put forth by the Food and Nutrition Board and the Institute of Medicine. It's a very healthy balance of macros that allows for higher (high fiber) carbs and low fats, while still hitting protein goals. Balanced Keto for weight loss is based on 1200 calories (with minimal exercise, <30 minutes per day), 60% fats, 25% protein, and 15% high fiber carbs with 10+g fiber and works well for those with PCOS, Hashimotos, Type 2 Diabetes, or insulin resistance... or for those that have carb or sugar addictions. The plan I created is essentially a "lite" version of traditional keto and one that ensures that we (bariatric patients) still get the required level of proteins and enough carbs for proper body and brain function.
