This site is BASED on people helping and supporting eachother for free.

When you are new, you don't have to do anything special, just do something. If you want to improve fitness, move more. It can be anything from walking to bodybuilding, depending on what your current level is.

You need to make your own meal plan, because you are the one who knows your likes and dislikes best, if you have allergies or medical issues, ethical concerns, your budget, your cooking skills, your schedule, and what is available where you live. Nutrition is complex, because healthy eating means that you can eat anything and in an indefinite number of combinations, but/so it doesn't have to be very complicated. Just start with getting in some fruit and vegetables every day, and some meat/fish/eggs/dairy, butter/fat/oils, nuts/seeds/grains.

This might sound crude, but why have someone make meal plans for you? What do you learn from it? I'm assuming you are here to lose weight. You got there from over eating. No one else. So it's your responsibility to learn the habits you will need for a lifetime.

Plus, as an artist, anyone that asks for free work absolutely rubs me the wrong way. Honestly, it's rude and demeans the hard work it takes to do a job. Meal planning can be very extensive of a job.

Feel free to ask questions you may have on the forums and people will be quick to help. But don't expect others took the work for you.

I don't know how I can sketch out a meal plan for someone whom I've never met. How do I know what you like to eat?

Eat what you like, in quantities that fit your calorie goal. It's really that simple.

No offense, but it sounds to me like you showed up here and said "Do it for me" without even giving it a shot on your own. You're not going to learn anything that way.

Eat the foods you like, whilst meeting your calorie, macro and micronutritional goals.

There's a charge next time.

When I signed up here, I went to several grocery stores and markets and thoroughly explored them all, reading labels and making selections of things that I liked and knew would fit within my calorie goal. I now eat a wider variety of food than I did before.

Search the internet for 2300 calorie meal plans. You will get a lot of free sample meal plans that way.

You want to eat in a way you can sustain long term so it is easier if you eat what you like and fit that into your goals than to have an internet stranger make up a diet plan for you of foods you may not like. What if I give you a vegetarian plan and you wanted to eat meat? What if I gave you a meal plan of complicated dishes that all took hours to prepare and you want super fast easy prep foods? That isn't going to work for you.

I eat the same foods I always did just in appropriate portion sizes for my goal. I find pre-logging my food for the day to be pretty helpful to meeting my goals.
My calorie goal is not 2300 but rather 1200. This is how I typically eat:
Breakfast- Greek yogurt, granola bars, cereal with milk, sandwich, dinner leftovers, fruit (about 200-300 calories)
Lunch- sandwich, salad, or dinner leftovers (about 300-500 calories)
Dinner- something different every night of the month. (about 500-600 calories) I have soup once a week usually.
Snacks- things like fruit, chips, popcorn, pretzels, chocolate, cookies, granola bar, carrots, celery, broccoli, trail mix, deviled eggs, pickles (about 100-300 calories)
I post recipes and my monthly meal plan on my blog. https://lounmoun.wordpress.com/

I find food ideas on Pinterest a lot.
