14 Day Low-Calorie Weight Loss Menu


When you think of a low-calorie menu, you may imagine limited options and tiny portions. But hearty flavor and variety can be part of a daily menu that clocks in at under 1200 calories. The following 14 day low-calorie weight loss menu is designed to help you achieve your goals while still enjoying a fulfilling, nutritious diet.

We’re providing you with a different breakfast, lunch, and dinner recipe each day, along with either two snack options or a snack and dessert option. If you love to cook and hate leftovers, you can follow this menu and scale the recipes down to size.
