What does 2000 calories actually look like?
Probably a lot more like normal food than you’re expecting.
Across the six weeks you’ll find meals like eggs, bacon and veg on toast, pasta bolognese, chicken schnitzel and chips, salmon poke bowls, loaded potato bowls, butter chicken and chicken carbonara gnocchi.
The plan is built around protein-rich meals, fruit, vegetables and everyday foods rather than trying to make 2000 calories as small as possible.
And yes, there’s room for the foods you enjoy too.
How the 6 weeks work
1. Download your plan.
Your PDF download link is sent to your inbox after purchase.
2. Follow one complete menu each week.
Each menu includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks with the portions, calories and macros already worked out.
3. Prep, repeat and keep it simple.
Repeat the menu throughout the week to make shopping and meal prep easier, or repeat favourite meals whenever it suits you.
4. Shop with familiar supermarket foods.
The plan uses metric measurements and products readily available in Australia, keeping shopping and prep straightforward.
That’s it. The planning and numbers are already done for you.

Not sure 2000 calories is right for you?
Don’t automatically choose the lowest calorie plan because you think it will get you there faster.
Your needs depend on your current intake, body size, activity, training and goals, so 2000 calories won’t be right for everyone.
Complete my free Macros Assessment first and I’ll look at your information and recommend an appropriate starting point before you buy. The 6-week range is available from 1600 to 2100 calories.
Want a little more variety?
My 8-Week Macro Meal Plans give you two additional menu days, plus metric and US measurements and international product alternatives.
They’re a better fit if you want the expanded version or you’re shopping outside Australia.
Hi, I’m Maria
I’m a Nationally Recognised Nutritionist (NRN), registered with Nutrition Council Australia and qualified with the 11046NAT Certificate IV in Nutrition.
I created these plans because I spent years believing that changing my body meant eating less, cutting foods out and starting again every Monday.
I wanted to make eating towards a goal simpler: proper meals, clear portions and room for foods you actually enjoy.
