Our 1,200-Calorie Meal Plan and Exercise: Your Weight Loss Solution

It’s the most common refrain heard by those seeking to lose weight, “eat less and exercise.”  And there’s a very good reason for that.  It works.  Burn more calories, per day, than you take in and you’ll lose weight.  Is it really that simple?  Yes and no.  Yes, because it it’s a simple math equation that’s easy to solve.  No, because there are so many obstacles placed in your way regarding exercise and so many temptations regarding food.

If this is such a simple solution, then why are almost 40% of American adults obese? …not overweight, but obese.  I’m sure if this “simple” solution was, actually, simple, that 40% stat would be considerably lower.  I’m fairly certain that those obese people would not be obese if there was a simple solution to their condition. But we persevere, because it’s the healthy thing to do. See our article, 5 Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Weight Management.

While MagicKitchen.com can’t help with the exercise half of this weight loss equation, we can help with the eating less part.  For you see, we are proud to offer a wide selection of portion- controlled meals and, perhaps more importantly, a 1,200-calorie (per day) meal plan.  With this meal plan, you just make your selections from our portion-controlled section and our chefs will prepare and cook your dietician approved meals.  Your meals are then flash frozen to ensure freshness and shipped straight to your door.  As with all our meal plans, there is no contract.  We’ll deliver your nutritious meals for as long as you desire.  You can cancel any time.

One of the greatest benefits of our 1,200-calorie meal plan is that each meal comes plainly labeled with caloric and nutritional information.  If we say our bruschetta chicken with red skin potatoes and autumn blend veggies has 370 calories and 12 grams of fat, rest assured those numbers are correct.  If you cook your own meals, it can be difficult to track the caloric content as you must account for every ingredient used in the recipe.  Add an ingredient or alter the amount?  That changes the meal’s total calories.  And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the time and money you’ll save using this meal program as well.

If you avail yourself of our services, all that’s required of you is some simple math.  You just need to track the caloric content of each MagicKitchen meal you consume and be sure to keep that total under 1,200 calories.  The below chart offers one potential combination of meals, among dozens, from our portion-controlled menu:

There you go, three delicious meals that comes in well under 1,000 calories.  “But wait, I still have 270 more calories I can consume,” I hear you exclaim.  You are correct, so use those 270 calories to eat some snacks throughout your day if you so desire.
