About this plan

Many people search for a 1200 calorie vegetarian meal plan for weight loss. Whether 1200 kcal fits depends on your height, weight and activity, so check your own number with the calorie calculator.

Who this plan suits

This vegetarian plan provides 1200 kcal daily and an average daily protein of 55 grams. Smaller adults or less active people often choose this lower calorie level when they want to eat less food. No meat or fish appears in the meals. You get your protein from eggs, dairy, legumes and soy foods. Very active people or larger adults might find this low calorie level too restrictive for their daily needs. The layout spans 7 days with 3 meals per day.

What a day looks like

Day one starts with oatmeal with berries and seeds for breakfast. Lunch brings a warm bowl of lentil soup paired with whole wheat bread. Dinner features a tasty vegetable stir fry with tofu. Top protein meals include tofu scramble burrito, vegetable stir fry with tofu, chickpea salad sandwich, vegetable and bean chili, plus black bean burgers on whole wheat buns. Your daily protein stays within the range of 48 to 62 grams.

How to use it

Read the shopping list carefully before you head out to buy your fresh food items for the week. Prepare extra portions ahead of time to make your busy weekdays much easier to manage. Swap any protein source for a similar option if you prefer a different taste or texture. Add extra non starchy vegetables to your plate if you feel hungry between your scheduled meals. Keep track of your daily intake so you stay close to the target.

Cook your grains in large batches to save time on busy weeknights.
Swap your canned beans for dried varieties if you prefer to cook from scratch.
Check your pantry staples before you plan out your weekly grocery store trips.
Portion your meals correctly to match the 1200 kcal daily target.

Cada número de esta página (objetivos de calorías, reparto de macros y cualquier plan de comidas sugerido) se obtiene con fórmulas (Mifflin-St Jeor para la tasa metabólica basal, multiplicadores de actividad estándar) o, en los planes de comidas generados por IA, con un modelo de lenguaje que aplica esas mismas fórmulas. En las páginas de planes de comidas, la cifra de carbohidratos de cada comida se calcula por diferencia: calorías totales menos las calorías de proteínas y grasas, dividido entre 4. No se mide ni se estima por separado, así que léela como un balance aritmético y no como un análisis nutricional independiente del plato. Nada de esto es asesoramiento médico o nutricional individualizado, y nada ha sido revisado por un dietista titulado, un médico u otro profesional sanitario con licencia.

Pregunta a tu médico o a un dietista titulado qué es lo adecuado para ti antes de empezar una dieta nueva, sobre todo si estás embarazada o en periodo de lactancia, tienes una enfermedad diagnosticada, tomas medicación con receta o has tenido trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Si tienes una enfermedad renal u otra afección médica, consulta con tu profesional sanitario antes de aumentar la proteína.

Mealyno nunca recomienda un objetivo de calorías por debajo de tu tasa metabólica basal (BMR) calculada, la energía mínima que necesita tu cuerpo en reposo completo. Incluso el ajuste de pérdida de peso más agresivo se limita a ese mínimo.

Las estimaciones de calorías y de BMR usan la ecuación de Mifflin-St Jeor (Mifflin MD, St Jeor ST, et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 1990).
