1,800-Calorie Diet Plan for Weight Loss

We've done the hard work of planning for you and mapped out seven full days of meals and snacks to help you lose weight while following an 1,800-calorie diet.

Each product we feature has been independently selected and reviewed by our editorial team. If you make a purchase using the links included, we may earn commission.

Lose weight, eat well and feel great with this easy weight loss diet plan. This simple 1,800-calorie meal plan is specially tailored to help you feel energized and satisfied, so you can lose a healthy 1 to 2 pounds per week. Featuring the best foods for weight loss, the high protein, high fiber foods in this plan will help with weight loss by keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

If you're just starting off with weight loss, this 1,800-calorie level is a great place to start. 1,500 and 1,200 calories could be too low to start and can leave you feeling hungry at the end of the day, and this slightly higher calorie level can help ensure you're able to stick to this plan. Once you get comfortable with this calorie level, you can slowly cut your calories down, say, 50 calories at a time—but keep in mind that healthy, sustainable weight loss is 1 to 2-pounds per week. So, if you find yourself losing more that that, bump back up to the higher calorie level.

Looking for a different calorie level? See this same meal plan at 2,000, 1,500 and 1,200 calories.

The calorie totals are listed next to each meal so you can easily swap things in and out as you see fit. Couple this healthy meal plan with daily exercise and you're on track to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week, the healthy way!
