What does a 2000 calorie a day diet consist of?

Alan K asked:


Could someone outline a basic 2000 calorie per day diet? I mean breakdown from breakfast to snacks to dinner.

    There is no basic 2,000 calorie per day diet.

    For one, your diet could be less or more then that. If you are 6 feet, 220 pounds and you are an athlete you are going to eat more.

    If you are a 5 foot female who goes to school it is going to be less.

    Your diet is suppose to consist of: meat, dairy, fruits and breads.

    There is a Canada Health Guide to rec’d eating but it doesn’t outline such diet because such diet does not exist.

    2,000 calories could have anything you like in it, say 4 twinkies for the day, or a well balanced diet that will keep you healthy.

    I currently eat about 1,800 calories/day and maintain a fitness program. Here’s a typical day for me:

    Breakfast:
    Egg White Omelet: 6 Egg Whites + 3 oz. non-fat or low fat cheese + 1/2 mushroom + 1/2 tomato
    1/2 Blueberries
    8 ounces Skim Milk

    Snack: Protein Bar

    Lunch: 6 oz. Turkey burger w/ 3 oz. Fatfree Swiss
    1/2 homemade coleslaw
    1 cup asparagus soup

    Snack: 2 oz. soy nuts

    Dinner: 6 oz. baked chicken/salmon/halibut/swordfish
    1 cup wild rice
    1/2 steamed veggies
    1 cup Red Pepper Soup

    Hope that helps!
