2200 Calories Flexible 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 2200 calories, each meal is not more than 100 calories over or under 2200 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.

4. Add the garlic, oil, arugula (if using), salt, and pepper; set aside.

5. Drain the pasta (reserving 1/2 cup of the water) and toss it with the tomatoes. If the pasta is still a little dry, add some of the cooking water.

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.
