Looking for Easy Low Calorie Meals (Max. 650KCal) for Dinner?

Understanding the Calories in Your Food

Understanding the Calories in Your Food

The amount of energy in any food or drink we consume is measured in calories. According to the NHS, the average man needs around 2,500Kcal and the average woman needs around 2,000KCal per day, to maintain a healthy body weight, although this does depend on age, body size, physical activity and other factors.

There are many reasons people would look for reduced calorie meals and low calorie lunch ideas to incorporate into their weekly meal plans; one of the most common being weight loss. If you’re reducing your calorie intake, a low calorie meal plan is a great place to start. HelloFresh provides all of the low calorie meal ideas you could possibly need, to reduce your calorie intake, without compromising on the quality or taste of your food!

Easy Ways To Reduce Calories When Cooking at Home

Easy Ways To Reduce Calories When Cooking at Home

If you’re looking to reduce your calorie intake and cook lower calorie meals, there are some simple changes you can do to make things a little easier.

  1. Educate yourself - learn more about the types of foods and the calories they contain to be able to create low calorie meals that suit your taste preferences.
  2. Measure your portions - guessing measurements is not an accurate way to cook, especially if you’re trying to reduce your calories. Pre-measured meal plans like HelloFresh make this much easier. If you’re cooking from scratch, wipe the dust off those kitchen scales and get weighing your ingredients.
  3. Plan ahead - Take stock and plan your meals out on a daily or weekly basis to make sure you’re eating a balanced diet that incorporates lots of food types.
