How Personal Chef To Go Works
Personal Chef To Go Meal Plans have been carefully created by our Chefs to
provide you with great-tasting nutritional foods with the least amount of
calories consumed. We have made every effort to provide you with a variety of meal
plans to choose from and we try to not repeat any of the diet foods and meals
in the plan so that you can enjoy a variety of foods while you work towards
your weight loss goals.
Each Personal
Chef To Go Meal Plan allows some discretionary
calories that can be consumed for drinks, salads, snacks, and for those
occasions when you want a little indulgence. Be sure to check your nutritional
labels to ensure that any treats will still keep you within your recommended
caloric allowance. Portion
controlled and low-calorie snacking
options can help you make smart choices when you're between meals.
The
Right Amount of Calories
The simplest way to lose weight is to consume
fewer calories than you use each day. For most people, trimming 500 calories
from their regular intake can have a significant impact. Regular physical
activity can also increase the rate of weight loss and minimize the impact of
succumbing to an occasional indulgence.
Personal
Chef To Go
offers Weekly Meal Plans to suit everyone, regardless
of size and activity level.
- 1,500 calories per day for women actively losing weight
- 1,800 calories per day for women maintaining their weight
- 1,800 calories per day for smaller stature men actively losing weight
- 2,000 calories per day for smaller stature men maintaining weight
- 2,200 calories per day recommended for men actively losing weight
The
Right Amount of Protein
Health experts recommend that 15% to 20% of
total daily calorie intake should come from protein. Choose lean protein
sources our chicken, pork, fish or seafood used in all Personal Chef To Go menus.
The
Right Amount of Fat
Cutting fat is often a focus in successful
weight loss plans. What is low fat to you? Most people would be surprised to
learn that your body actually needs fat for proper function and maintenance and
as a source of essential nutrients.
As a reference, if you are consuming the USDA's
standard 2,000 calorie-per-day diet (as shown on any nutritional label), you
are allowed to have 64 grams of fat a day and maintain a healthy lifestyle. A lunch
and dinner meal plan from Personal
Chef To Go will
leave you extra fat grams for you to consume outside of the plan in the form of
snacks, drinks, salads, and the occasional treat.
The
Right Amount of Carbohydrates
Recently popular diets have painted a negative
image of carbohydrates, yet nutrition experts agree that carbohydrates should
make up the largest percentage of your intake - 45 to 65 percent of calories,
in fact. These carbohydrates should come from vegetables, fruits, and whole
grains.
Personal Chef To Go has a healthy solution that allows people on the run
that are low-glycemic so that they will help to prevent hunger pangs between
meals and to provide lasting energy
throughout the day.
