2000 Calories Paleo Diet Plan

Facebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedinmailFacebooktwittergoogle_plusredditpinterestlinkedinmail

Looking for calorie specific meal plans or new recipes, check out the 7 day meal plan I created using Eat This Much Planner. The aim for each day was 2000 calories, each meal is not more than 100 calories over or under 2000 calories. The meal plans offer delicious recipes that are fairly easy to make and a variety of food so you don’t get bored eating the same thing. Feel free to use it as-is, or import it into your ETM account to get a grocery list, edit the meals, and track your intake.
Here is a link to view the meal plan: https://www.eatthismuch.com/dietset/811109398/

Sprinkle with vinegar. Arrange orange rounds on top. Sprinkle with green onions and cracked black pepper. Broil 1 minute longer.

Pesto Scrambled Eggs

Directions are for original recipe of 2 pan

1. Pour olive oil (or coconut oil) into a skillet over medium heat.

2. Crack the eggs directly into the pan, then scramble them slowly - combining the yolks and whites slowly so there is still some variation between the two. A heat resistant silicone spatula works best.

3. About one minute into the cooking, add the pesto to the pan and continue to scramble the eggs, working the pesto in gently.

4. Once the eggs are no longer runny, they are done.

5. Serve with extra pesto.

1. Drain the peaches of syrup (1 can per 4 servings). Place the peaches in a food processor and process to a smooth puree. Add the oil and honey and process briefly to blend; transfer to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces and close, squeezing out the air. Chill for 15 minutes (or you can do it the day before).

2. Prepare the grill (gas grill at medium; charcoal grill arranged for indirect heat), heat a grill pan over medium heat, or preheat the broiler. Remove the chicken pieces from the bag and place on a plate. Season lightly with salt and pepper and transfer to the grill. Cover and cook until charred underneath, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until charred and firm when poked with a finger, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Sliced bell pepper

3. Roll meat mixture into 1 1/2 Tbsp sized balls. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until fully cooked.
