HKUMed x FITTERY Mediterranean Meal is a convenient service that provides calorie controlled meals based on Meditteranean Diet principles. The service is designed to save you time and effort in meal planning and preparation, ensuring a balanced macro approach to achieving healthy weight loss.
How is the meal plan designed?
Meditteranean meals are thoughtfully designed by our team of nutritionists and chefs to incorporate ingredients that are prominent within the Mediterranean region. Each meal is crafted to provide a balance of nutrients using mainly seafood ( we choose salmon) as the main protein, healthy fats and wholesome carbohydrates. We also prioritize using a wide variety of dishes and recipes to keep your Mediterranean diet exciting whilst utilising fresh and wholesome ingredients to help keep your tastebuds satisfied.
How should I incorporate the meal plan into my schedule?
While individual needs may vary, this depends on how consistent you plan to stick with the Meal Plan. If you order 3 dishes a day, we recommend to spread your meals throughout the day to keep your energy levels steady and your metabolism firing. On the otherhand if you only order 1 meal a day, we recommend you to enjoy your Meditteranean meal within 1-2 hours of your workout to support muscle recovery and growth.
What kind of results should I expect?
As the famous saying goes - Abs are made in the kitchen. According to science, your diet can make up 70% of your fitness goals. However results from Meditteranean Diet meal prep will also depend on several factors, including your training program, genetics, and adherence to the meal plan (e.g. 3 meals vs 1 meal per day). In most cases, clients will experience some hunger levels (especially if you are used to eating high calorie meals) and therfore have certain food cravings at the beginning. Key is to be mentally aware that this is normal as your body is going through a phase of adaption to a cleaner and more wholesome diet. On a positive note, most clients start seeing results during this time and once your body is used to the new diet, your cravings will subside.
What kind of macro weighting do you use for the Mediterranean diet?
While the diet does not prescribe specific macronutrient ratios, it generally encourages a moderate balance of protein, healthy fats and wholesome carbohydrates. In certain cases where we find the fat levels a little high, we will adapt the meal to include more fibrous vegetables and moderate the carbohydrate content to limit the overall calories. We also recommend supplementing the Meditteranean meals with protein shakes or bars for those that are looking to bulk up and build muscle mass.
