Hi all,
I just found this on the Muscle and Fitness HERS website, and thought it was quite a useful guide.
For an active woman eating approximately 2,000 calories per day, Sheri Albert, MPH, TD, recommends the following general guidelines.
- Eat three meals and two snack daily
- Each meal should have about 500 calories; 600 mg sodium; 11-14 g fat; 4 g saturated fat (2 g if trans fat is also present); 8-9 g fiber
- At least two meals should provide 30% daily value for calcium (check label)
- Each snack should contain about 250 calories; 300 mg sodium; 5-7 g fat; 2 g saturated fat (1 g if trans fat is also present); 3-4 g fiber
- At least on snack should provide 30% daily value for calcium
