Sample menu for a woman

For example above, calculate the demand and arrange a menu, including training days and without training.
Dane A woman, 20 years old, starting her adventure with diet and strength training.
55kg weight, 160cm height, bf about 25%,
Activity University, 5 workouts a week (strength + aerobic 3 × 60-80minutes, aerobic / hiit – 2x)
Purpose Lowering the bf, improving the aesthetics of the silhouette

CALORIAL REQUIREMENT
Calculating the caloric demand, I decided to use the following formula
TDEE = BMR + TEA + TEF + NEAT
To calculate the energy expenditure during training, and after their completion, as well as the thermal effect of food, I decided to choose the average, of the values proposed for this formula.
Here are detailed calculations
BMR = (9.99 x 55) + (6.25 x 160) – (4.92 x 20) – 161 = 1290
TEA = (3 x 60 x 7) + (3 x 0.04 x 1290) + (2 x 60 x 5) / 7 = 287
NEAT = 300
1290 + 287 + 300 = 1877
TDEE = 1877 + TEF (0.07 x 1877 = 131) = 2008 kcal
From the calculated demand, I subtract 300 kcal, this will give us about 1700 kcal.
MACROECONOMIC CLEARANCE
The woman from the example is just starting her adventure with strength training and a well-thought-out diet, so I decided to propose a balanced diet.
I believe that this type of diet is suitable for a beginner because of the ease of use in everyday life rules of composing meals, and most importantly, the diet is easy to maintain.
In addition, a balanced diet gives a large margin of macronutrient in case of stagnation or lack of expected effects (often, in the case of stagnation, it is enough to cut some kcal from carbohydrates or modify the diet, going in the direction of “low carb”).
Taking into account training and non-training days, I decided to change the proportions of carbohydrates and fats, thus maintaining a constant amount of protein and calories each day.
When calculating the distribution of macronutrients, I have adopted the following rules
TRAINING DAYS
PROTEIN 35% of caloric demand -> 595 kcal = 149g
FAT 35% of caloric demand -> 595 kcal = 66g
CARBOHYDRATES 30% of calorific demand -> 510 kcal = 127g
NON-TRAINING DAYS
PROTEIN 35% of caloric demand -> 595 kcal = 149g
FAT 45% of calorific demand -> 765 kcal = 85g
CARBOHYDRATES 20% of calorific demand -> 340 kcal = 85g
MENU
I did not include the nutritional value of vegetables for the diet.
Between meals, it is worth drinking the right amount of liquid (mineral water, unsweetened drinks such as green, red, black tea, herbal and fruit teas).
Almost every proposed meal can be packed into a food container and taken, for example, to the university.
In addition, I tried to compose meals so that they were easy and quick to prepare for the busy student and included easily available products.
In most of them the selection of vegetables is just a suggestion and may depend on the “culinary taste of the person using the diet.
