A 2,000 calorie menu is usually okay for a man. A woman will usually eat about 1,500 calories. Use the recommended fat burning foods to choose foods that you like. For women, just eat about 75% of the portions in the menus below. So, a 3 oz turkey breast would be 2.25 oz.
If you have a carbohydrate intolerance, you can adjust your carbs down (decrease starches, simple sugars and grains). Replace them with more nonstarchy veggies and fruits. Remember there is trial and error. Your weekly body fat measurements and weight log will tell you how you’re progressing.
