FIVE MEAL PLAN OPTIONS

Balanced Macros (family dinners) or Simply Balanced (for singles) is based on 1000 calories, 40%
protein, 35% high fiber carbs (fruits, veggies, whole grains), and 25% fats. This plan is 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 (family dinners) or Simply Keto (for singles) is based on 1200 calories, 60% fats,
25% protein, and 15% high fiber carbs and works well for those with PCOS, Hashimotos,
Type 2 Diabetes, insulin resistance, or for those that have carb or sugar addictions. This
a “lite” version of traditional keto and one that ensures that bariatric patients still get the
required level of proteins and enough carbs for proper body and brain function.

Simply Healthy is a hybrid plan designed for a single person that is based on the generic weight loss recommendations of multiple surgeons for those patients who don’t want to be as regimented as Balanced Macros or Balanced Keto. It’s based on 1000 calories, 40% protein, 30% high fiber carbohydrates, and 30% healthy fats. This plan specifically requires less prepping and incorporates
more ready-to-cook grocery items and/or very simple recipes with 8 or fewer main ingredients,
and uses meals more than once or turns a meal into a different meal.
