Weekly Menu Balance:

Our weekly menu aligns with the LARN (Dietary Reference Values of Nutrients and Energy for the Italian population, Revision IV, 2014) recommendations for a balanced diet. It matches each food group's values in grams to ensure optimal nutritional balance. Learn more about how our menu stacks up with the science-based values.

Choosing the Right Plan:

• Assess Your Goals: For weight loss or a sedentary lifestyle, the 1500-calorie plan is suitable. The 2000-calorie plan is ideal for general maintenance or moderate activity levels. If you have high energy needs, the 2500-calorie plan offers the necessary sustenance.

• Consider Your Activity Level: Your level of daily physical activity significantly impacts your caloric requirements. Align your meal plan choice with how active you are.

• Consult a Professional: If you’re unsure which plan is best for you, consulting a nutritionist or dietitian can provide personalized guidance.

Tools to Help You:

We provide a calorie calculator to help you understand your daily caloric needs and set goals for your new Mediterranean diet lifestyle.
