3-Day Low-Carb Vegetarian Meal Plan: 1,200 Calories

To make sure you’re still getting the nutrients you need, we tailored this meal plan to be low in carbs, but not so low that you’d miss out on those important nutrients. Research suggests this is a more effective way to meet your health and weight-loss goals when compared to very-low-carb diets (we aim for about 100 grams carbohydrates daily).

We also added in plenty of healthy vegetarian protein sources like eggs, tofu andedamamein place of higher-carb beans and lentils to help you feel full and satisfied.
