Plant-Based Diet Example: A Typical Day.
So for the example, let’s take a woman with a height of 172 cm, weight– 62 kg, aged 25. She exercises twice per week.
She needs to consume 2000 kcal daily.
Her goal is to keep herself in shape without losing any weight, which is why in this particular example her daily calorie intake should be 2000 calories (kcal).
She has 4 meals per day and 2 snacks in between meals.
Breakfast
50 g oatmeal
15 g raisins
10 g goji berries
10 g chia seeds
Brunch
1 mid-sized apple (about 200 g)
20 g walnuts
Lunch
Salad:
100 g cucumber
100 g paprika
100 g tomatoes
200 g kidney beans (boiled)
Addition– 3 rice or buckwheat crackers
Snack (for instance, after a workout)
200 g oat milk
20 g hemp protein
10 g maca powder

Let’s see the total result:
Calories: 1950 kcal

The protein, carbohydrates and fat make a total of 100% of the calories. According to the science of plant-based diet, the proportions of the daily diet should include about 80% carbohydrates, 10-13% protein, and 10% fat.
