When calorie intake is reduced, nutritional quality becomes even more important.

Nourish in Colour takes a nutrient-first approach, focusing on meals that provide:
☑️ A source of protein at every meal
☑️ At least 30g of fibre per day
☑️ A wide variety of fruit and vegetables
☑️ Key vitamins and minerals commonly under-consumed in the UK

By prioritising nutrient density rather than rigid rules, the planner supports fullness, energy levels and overall wellbeing.

This approach reflects the evidence that balanced, varied diets are more effective and sustainable than restrictive or extreme eating patterns.
