Here is a sample weekly menu for each calorie requirement. The table below helps to determine a hypothesis of calorie needs based on age, gender, and level of physical activity.
The sample menus are just examples to get ideas started: during the various weeks, grains, vegetables and fruit will be varied (depending on season), and above all the recipes, so as to enjoy ever-changing dishes.
Of course, it is not in any way necessary to always have to count up the various servings to decide your daily menu: once into the habit and once the optimal proportion of the various foods is understood, it will be completely natural to choose the ingredients for the dishes to be prepared every day!
Legend
For each menu, the number of servings, determined according to the rules of VegPlate, of the various food groups of which it is composed, is also indicated; and listed in parentheses for each ingredient is the number of servings it covers, of which food group. 1G means "1 serving of the group of grains", 1P is "1 serving of the group of foods rich in proteins", 1.5V is "one and a half servings of the group of vegetables", and so on.
The asterisk (*) indicates the use of discretionary calories.
All weights are expressed on raw foods or, in the case of legumes, dry legumes, unless otherwise specified.
