1600 Calorie Weight Loss Diet Plan
High Protein, High Fiber Fat Loss Plan
Expertly designed for moderately active women seeking effective fat loss while preserving muscle. High protein (125-170g daily) and high fiber (30-45g daily) work together to support satiety, muscle maintenance, and digestive health. A sustainable calorie deficit that balances nutrition and appetite control for lasting results.
How the 1600 Calorie Plan Works
This scientifically designed plan creates a moderate calorie deficit while providing ample protein and fiber to preserve muscle, control hunger, and support sustainable fat loss.
The Science: High protein intake (125-170g daily) boosts metabolism through the thermic effect of food, preserves lean muscle during weight loss, and increases satiety. High fiber (30-45g daily) slows digestion, stabilizes blood sugar, and keeps you feeling fuller longer.

Metabolic Boost

Blood Sugar Stability

Sustainable Deficit

Digestive Health

Frequently Asked Questions
Will 1600 calories be enough energy for my workouts?
Yes! For moderately active women (3-5 workouts per week), 1600 calories creates a sustainable deficit while providing enough energy. The high protein and fiber keep energy stable. If you're training intensely 6+ days per week, you may need more calories. Our app can help adjust based on your activity level.
How much protein do I really need, and why so much?
During weight loss, high protein (125-170g daily, or about 1.8-2.2g per kg body weight) is crucial for preserving muscle mass. When you're in a calorie deficit, your body can break down muscle for energy. Adequate protein signals your body to preserve muscle and burn fat instead. Plus, protein keeps you fuller longer and has a higher thermic effect, meaning you burn more calories digesting it.
What if I get hungry between meals?
The high protein and fiber content should keep hunger manageable, but if you do get hungry, our plan includes smart snack options (100-200 calories) like protein shakes, Greek yogurt, or veggie sticks with hummus. Also ensure you're drinking enough water - sometimes thirst masquerades as hunger. If you're consistently very hungry, you may need to adjust your calorie intake.
Can I eat out or have flexibility with this plan?
Absolutely! Once you understand the principles (prioritize protein, include fiber, stay within 1600 calories), you can apply them anywhere. Our app includes restaurant guides and shows you how to make smart choices when dining out. The key is consistency over perfection - if you follow the plan 80-90% of the time, you'll still see great results.
