Once you've figured out how many calories you need in a day, you can customize the program even further. Suppose you want to incorporate some ideas from other diets such as a low carb or low fat diet plan. If you want to eat more carbs and less fat or more fat and less carbs you can do that within guidelines. You can choose a nutrient ratio, such as 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat and the program will tell you exactly how many calories and servings you should be eating for your goals.

In today's "biggie size" society, we have lost the vision of a healthy portion. A portion is the amount of food per food category you should be eating. You may need 60 grams of protein at a meal, but how much actual chicken or beef does that equate to? This program tells you EXACTLY what you need to eat at each and every meal of the day, with the perfect portions of food to help you reach your goals.

Meal Plans 101 also allows you to track your body composition over the course of your success. You have to keep track of your progress so you can celebrate your successes and modify your plan if necessary. If you don't measure and modify your meal plans, then you won't continue to succeed.
