This guide is part of the 'One-Stop' Meal Guides collection, which takes a holistic approach to nutrition, including all the elements needed for a balanced and nutritious diet.

The guide is there for people looking for a model to follow. A start-point. Something to springboard their nutrition journey and learn what it takes to eat healthily. 

Get a whole week’s worth of meals and snacks that can be easily moulded to your own personal schedule!

The meals in the guide have been carefully selected to ensure there is plenty of that aforementioned balance, convenience for busy schedules, an array of nutrient-dense options, and most importantly tasty, flavourful foods to help with adherence. Each day prioritises a high-protein approach to help with weight management, muscle growth and hunger-satiety intuition. This is reinforced with a range of healthy carbohydrates, fibres and hormone-boosting fats, to enable an all-round, 'one-stop' approach to healthy nutrition and eating.

The principle behind this guide is healthy weight-gain, based off of the government recommendation for maintenance calories for the average female. A healthy, and sustainable surplus calorie consumption, should fall in the 300-500kcals range. This guide takes an average of this surplus and adds it on top of that 2000kcals daily recommended calorie mark, to give an average calorie intake of ~2400kcals across the week.
