1500 Calorie Diet Plan With 5 Meals

Are you searching for 1500 calorie diet? I’ve been searching for a couple of days, too. It turned out that it’s much easier to find a 1200, 1600, 1800 or 2000 calorie diet instead of a 1500 calorie diet.

What I did find in the end was nearly half a dozen different diets, claiming to be the original 1500 calorie diet plan - meals and menus.

What I did notice about all these 1500 calorie diets was that they were all stuck to 1500 calories per day, the rest was all different.

So I picked my top two 1500 calorie diet plans and menus from all I found. I wanted each of these two diets to be unique and to offer you choices that the other doesn’t.

The first 1500 calorie diet is based on the meal plan and menu from the Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle weight loss program. Here’s the plan that gives you a head start on how to lose fat:

1500 Calorie Diet Plan – Meals and Menus

Shredded Wheat Cereal - 1 1/2 cups

Skim Milk - 1 1/2 cups

Strawberries - 1/2 cup

Scrambled Eggs (4 egg whites, 1 whole egg)

Grapefruit - 1/2 large

Brown Rice - 1/2 cup

Grilled Chicken Breast - 110 grams (3 oz)

Green Beans - 180 grams (6 oz)

Salmon - 150 grams (4 oz)

Broccoli - 1 cup

Yams - 150 grams (4 oz)

Grilled Chicken Breast - 110 grams (3 oz)

Light Italian Dressing - 3 Tbsp

Large mixed green salad - 2 cups

The approximate calorie count per day is 1500. The menu plan is rich in carbohydrates - 50%, proteins - 35% and fats - 15%.

Remember: The number of calories you take is important only as far as you burn more calories than you take in. For example if you burn 1200 calories a day and you take in 1500 calories, you will not only not lose weight, but you will gain extra. Most people lose weight on a 1500 calorie diet, as this is a quite reduced calorie amount compared to 2000 – 2500 calories you and I usually take in everyday when not dieting.
