Tips for Success

1.

Maintenance is about consistency, not perfection. Aim for within 100 calories of your target most days.

2.

Adjust portions up or down if your weight trends in an unwanted direction over 2+ weeks.

3.

Vary your protein sources throughout the week — fish, poultry, beef, and plant proteins each offer different micronutrients.

4.

Weekend meals tend to be higher calorie. That's fine — your weekly average matters more than any single day.

5.

Stay active with at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week to maintain metabolic health.

Common Questions

How do I know if 1800 calories is right for me?

Use our TDEE calculator to find your maintenance calories. For most moderately active adults, 1,800 is a common maintenance level. If you're losing weight, eat more; if gaining, eat less.

Should I eat the same every day?

No — variety is key for both nutrition and enjoyment. This plan varies meals daily while keeping calories consistent. Feel free to swap meals between days.

Do I need to track macros for maintenance?

Tracking helps at first, but once you learn portion sizes, most people can maintain by following consistent eating patterns. Sunn makes tracking effortless via WhatsApp.
