Tips for this week

  • Eat the protein on your plate first.
  • Stop at the first sign of fullness; you can finish later.
  • Batch-cook egg cups and boiled eggs on Sunday.
  • Choose baked, grilled or poached over fried for the first weeks.
  • These portions come to roughly 1,100–1,300 kcal a day. If you’re hungry, very active, or your clinician has given you a higher target, add fruit, bread or another snack.
