To be honest, I’ve been planning to create a free Lenten menu for my readers for a long time, but I still never got around to it. But how long can you wait? And just the Nativity Fast began on November 28th. In general, to all my dear subscribers who know how to wait, I am dedicating a weekly fasting menu for every day, which not only fully meets the requirements of proper nutrition, but will also help you lose weight.
Lenten menu for 1400-1500: features
Before moving on to developing this diet, I thought about what calorie content to take as a basis. After analyzing all your requests, I concluded that the most popular caloric intake is 1400-1500 kcal. I love this calorie content more than any other:
- not hungry;
- weight loss guaranteed;
- everything happens gently and correctly - extra pounds melt away due to fat;
- With such a calorie content, the body receives all the necessary substances.
The only disadvantage of a lean “weight loss” menu is the insufficient amount of protein, even if the menu is very carefully thought out. There are a lot of opinions on this matter - from “you don’t need that much protein” to “you can get protein from plant foods.” I think it’s clear that on my website I express exactly my opinion.
In my opinion, there are 2 options. The simplest and most rational way is to buy ready-made protein and add it to your diet. Protein shakes are great for snacking, plus you don't have to cook anything. Just make sure it is marked “suitable for vegetarians.” There are many of these on IHerb (I love this store more and more!), here is a link to the selection
The second way out is to completely ignore the issue of protein during fasting. There is not such a serious deficit that any irreversible changes would occur during the fasting period. Of course, if you planned to gain weight during this time, then this will not work. But, however, the caloric intake itself will not suit you for gaining weight.
How much weight can you lose while fasting?
And now about the timing and other figures. How long your post will last is up to you. I give you a menu for 7 days. Based on this diet, it’s not at all difficult to build a nutrition plan for even a month! You can simply repeat it every week, or you can make other combinations from the written dishes. Almost all breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks are interchangeable.
If you strictly adhere to your diet, drink enough water, and don’t forget about physical activity, then I guarantee minus 3-4 kg per month! Usually 1-1.5 kg is lost in the first week, then the minus will be less.
Briefly about the basics of a lean pp menu for weight loss
The site has detailed articles both about pp weight loss in general and about losing weight during fasting. I won’t repeat myself, but I’ll highlight the basic points:
- We drink water daily at the rate of 30 ml per 1 kg of weight. The water must be clean without gases;
- single serving - 500-600 ml (this is the volume of all food for one meal);
- In total there should be a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 6 meals, the interval between them is 2-4 hours;
- The last dose is 2-3 hours before bedtime . No “I don’t eat after 18”!
Ready-made pp-menu for 1400-1500 kcal for fasting and vegetarians
I know that for Christians, fasting is not just a refusal of meat, dairy products, eggs and fish. There are days when fish is allowed, and there are days when hot food is not allowed. This article is not about the rules of the Christian faith, by no means! This Lenten menu will not contain meat, etc. food. But it is suitable for everyone who wants to fast, regardless of religion. Vegetarians can also safely use this diet.
Before you start using this menu, I advise you to study it carefully and prepare - purchase groceries, for example, I will provide a shopping list below. There are also dishes in this diet that require preliminary preparation. Don’t be afraid, they are simple (I’m lazy in the kitchen, remember?), but, for example, in the salad with chickpeas and mung bean (from the menu of the second day), the mung bean should be sprouted. And the germination procedure takes time. Here, by the way, is about germination of mung beans.
Day one: let's start!
Today will not be very difficult if you are mentally prepared and ready for restrictions.

Total for the day: 35.8 g of protein, 64 g of fat, 123.9 g of carbohydrates. Calories (or rather kcal) - 1427.8 kcal. There will be approximately the same amount of calories, protein, fats and carbohydrates on other days; I won’t go into detail.
Menu for 1500 kcal per day with recipes for the week. Diet Requirements 1500 Calories
Nutritionists convince that a person should consume 2000-2500 calories daily. This indicator depends on weight, gender, lifestyle, health, age and other characteristics. If the average person reduces the value of their diet to 1,500 calories, they will begin to lose weight. In general, this diet is based on this statement.
As a rule, you can lose weight by reducing the calorie content of the menu to this indicator without even making adjustments to your diet. But in order for the “1500 calorie” diet to be as effective as possible and not cause harm to health, it is recommended to rearrange your menu in a certain way.
It is worth limiting your fat intake. It is better to avoid lard, mayonnaise, fatty sauces and their other “friends” altogether. However, a small amount of fat, especially unsaturated fat, should be left in the diet. Every day you are allowed to consume up to 20 g of nuts and up to 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.
It is advisable that 50% of your menu consist of complex carbohydrates, as they take the longest time to be processed by the body. About 20% is allocated to low-fat protein foods and up to 30% remains fat.
Recommended carbohydrate foods include: - rice (preferably brown), buckwheat; - solid pasta; - whole grain, bran bread; - various vegetables (but potatoes should be a rare guest on your table); - fruits and berries (except bananas, melons, grapes).
Protein products that are worth making friends with: - various fish (except salmon, herring, sturgeon); - lean meat (chicken breast, rabbit, veal, turkey); - eggs; - low-fat dairy and fermented milk products without various additives.
As for liquids, in addition to plain water, emphasis should be placed on tea and herbal infusions (try to drink everything without sugar).
During the “1500 calorie” diet, in addition to the already mentioned fatty foods, it is recommended to completely avoid all kinds of sweets, white dough, alcohol, fast food and other high-calorie foods.
It is recommended to eat meals in fractions. Eat at least 4 times a day (or better - 5). You need, as always, to drink 1.5-2 liters of clean water. It is recommended to eat food that contains a large amount of carbohydrates before 16-17 hours. And you should not eat food immediately before bed. On the 1500 calorie diet, you can lose weight for as long as it takes to achieve the desired result.
Day two: the most difficult
This day will not be easy. No, he is not hungry, but usually it is on the second day that a clear understanding comes that not all food is allowed.
BREAKFAST
Raw couscous with poppy seeds, raisins and flaxseed meal, a cup of tea or coffee without sugar. I recommend preparing the porridge the night before, it’s very simple:
- Pour 3 tbsp into a deep plate. couscous, 2 tbsp. poppy seeds and flaxseed flour.
- Salt, add a handful of raisins, pour in a glass of boiled warm water and mix.
- Cover with a plate and let it sit on the kitchen table until the morning. If the house is hot, put it in the refrigerator just in case.
SNACK
Sandwich made from black bread and sliced avocado. Be sure to add salt - it tastes better! Make tea or coffee with sandwiches. For one serving: 2 slices of bread and half an avocado.
DINNER
Today's lunch will be the same as yesterday - a portion of pea soup and bread. By the way, you can add any greens to the soup (parsley, arugula, garlic, onion). If you like spicy foods, then mustard or horseradish are also not prohibited - you won’t eat much, and such additives will not greatly affect the overall calorie content.
SNACK
Pumpkin baked with raisins, apples and nuts, finished portion - 250-300 g. Tea without sugar. To be honest, this recipe is one of our favorites at home right now, it turns out very tasty!
What you need (recipe for one serving ):

Day three: the most delicious
As my practice shows, today is usually the last day when you need to show willpower and somehow restrain yourself. Then everything is much simpler! That is why our third day will be one of the most delicious - with pancakes!
BREAKFAST
Poppy-banana pancakes, coffee or tea. It is unlikely that you have tried such pancakes somewhere - this recipe was developed by me specifically for one of the custom menus.
What you need ( for 1 serving ):
- 50 ml boiling water;
- 1 small banana;
- 20 g poppy seeds;
- a little salt;
- 2 tbsp. rice flour;
- sakhzam (I have Fitparad) to taste;
- baking powder - ½ tsp.
We prepare in 3 stages:
- First you need to pour boiling water over the poppy seeds. Let it sit and swell. 10 minutes is enough.
- Then we put it all in a blender and grind for 2-3 minutes.
- When the poppy seeds are ready, add the rest of the ingredients, blend well and fry the pancakes on both sides in an up-pan. You can lightly grease the frying pan with oil. Fire is medium, no need to cover with a lid.
SNACK
A couple of apples or one banana.
DINNER
A serving (300-350 g) of vegetarian borscht with beans (the fourth recipe in this collection), a couple of slices of bread. Prepare immediately so that there is leftover for tomorrow - the fourth day will be as free from cooking as possible.
SNACK
About 50-60 g of any nuts or peanuts, tea.
DINNER
Broccoli and beet salad. The recipe is here, called “Savory salad with beets and nuts.” Our portion is 250 g.
Day four: no cooking necessary!
Today is the day when you will fully feel how good this diet is! Lightness, cheerfulness, lots of energy and delicious healthy food! And today you will practically not cook . I want to show that proper nutrition is not about hanging out at the stove every day, as many people think.
BREAKFAST
This time we will have sandwiches for breakfast. Brown bread (2 slices), half an avocado (mash with a fork), chopped tomato, a little herbs, salt and spices. We put it all together into such beauty as in the photo below, make tea or coffee.
SNACK
Today we have a great lazy snack - a store-bought PP bar. Now there are so many options that it’s simply dizzying! There are, of course, those that have training and fitness only in their name, but there are also really cool, tasty and healthy ones. The main thing is that there is no sugar, molasses or syrup in the composition. On my Zen channel I already wrote how to choose the right delicacy, you can read it.
DINNER
We have lunch with yesterday's borscht. The portion is the same.
AFTERNOON SNACK
A handful of seeds (30-40 g) or tofu cheese (150-200 g) and tea.
DINNER
For the evening we will prepare vegetable stew. Serve with a cup of tomato juice.
Do you think I promised you a lazy menu, but I myself give you complex recipes? Don't worry, the stew only sounds like something complicated, it is prepared quickly and very simply! Especially if there is a frozen mixed vegetable. If not, then peel and cut into cubes any vegetables (carrots, cabbage, peppers, maybe 1-2 potatoes, onions, zucchini). Put it all in a thick-walled frying pan or in a slow cooker, add salt, a little water, a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1-1.5 hours.

Junk foods such as fast foods, baked goods, processed foods, alcohol, and carbonated water should not be on the daily menu at all.

I began to gather all my willpower into a fist. And purposefully go towards your goal. It is not difficult to achieve the desired result. After the week has passed, repeat the course of simple dishes again from the first day. All recipes for their preparation are simple. Such a varied low-calorie menu will saturate the body with proteins and carbohydrates. At the same time, those who are losing weight will be full. You can use any recipe to make pancakes, soups or baked fish. To salads made from fresh vegetables, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil or sprinkle with lemon juice; in extreme cases, replace with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Potatoes, onions, carrots, and cabbage are allowed in soups. SOURCE Here's another sample menu:
Day five: every day it gets easier
Well, shall we continue? Not hungry?
BREAKFAST
In the morning, make yourself chocolate oatmeal with banana and nuts.
You will need (for one serving):
- 200 ml water;
- 4 tbsp. oatmeal;
- 1 tsp cocoa;
- half a banana;
- a pinch of salt;
- sahzam to taste.
How to cook:
- Place everything except the banana and sakhzam into a saucepan and cook for 5 minutes after boiling.
- Let it stand for another 7-10 minutes, add finely chopped banana and sweetener.
- We make tea/coffee and have breakfast.
SNACK
Let's snack on a banana-orange smoothie with cranberries (here is the first recipe in the collection).
DINNER
For lunch, I suggest making buckwheat with mushrooms. The site has a selection of vegetarian recipes, but they are not entirely suitable for Lent, since the ingredients include dairy products. I advise you to replace butter with vegetable oil in this recipe (the first one in the article) and then the rules of fasting will not be violated.
Our portion of ready-made buckwheat is 300 g. You can accompany it with a glass of tomato juice or 100-150 g of some pickled vegetables.
AFTERNOON SNACK
Apple baked with nuts and honey, tea. It's not difficult to prepare:
- Cut the apple (take 2 pieces per serving) in half and carefully remove the core.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Place nuts in the hole and add a little honey.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees.
DINNER
For dinner, prepare a vinaigrette - a classic on any Lenten or vegetarian menu. Here are the recipes, take your pick. Serving for dinner - 250-300 g.
Monday
1 meal
- Cottage cheese 2% – 190 g
- Sour cream 15% – 60 g
- Dill, salt and garlic (optional) - to taste
2 meals
- 1 serving of fruit from the list
3rd meal
- Chicken fillet – 100 g
- Buckwheat – 30 g
- Onion - 50 g
4 meals

5 meals

- Bell pepper – 100 g
- Onion - 50 g
- Cheese cheese - 30 g
- Olives - 10 g
- Vegetable oil - 8 g
- Vinegar, salt, pepper - to taste
Bake the peppers in the oven at 200 degrees for about 25 minutes. Wrap the finished pepper in a bag and leave for 10 minutes (this will make it easier to remove the skin). Peel the peppers and cut into long strips. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. Cut the onion into thin feathers. Cut the tomatoes into slices. Peel the cucumbers and cut into half circles. In a large bowl, combine tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and onions. Add vinegar and olive oil to taste, salt and pepper, stir. Sprinkle the salad with cheese and garnish with olives.
6 meals
- Chicken fillet – 120 g
- Chinese cabbage - 100 g
- Champignons – 100 g
Marinate the fillet in spices, bake in the oven, serve with a side dish of stewed vegetables (cabbage, mushrooms).
Day six: a day off!
I hope you have a day off today. If not, swap it with anyone else. Why is that? Because today we will be baking! Or rather, apple charlotte.
BREAKFAST
We will have breakfast with avocado sandwiches and tea/coffee. And immediately after breakfast you can start preparing charlotte.
SNACK
A piece of charlotte and a cup of tea.
Recipe for lean pp-charlotte for 2 servings:
- 2-3 large apples
- cinnamon - 1 tsp.
- Fitparad No. 7 - 4-5 scoops or to taste
- vanillin - on the tip of a knife
- a pinch of salt
- baking powder - 1 tsp.
- 4-5 tbsp. rice flour
Cooking process:
- Peel and seed the apples and cut them into cubes. Mix with cinnamon, sakhzam, salt and vanilla. Let it sit and release the juice. This will take 20-30 minutes.
- Next, add flour, baking powder, mix well and transfer the dough into any suitable form. Silicone ones for PP baking are the best, you don’t need to lubricate them with anything, nothing will stick anyway.
- Place in the oven, preheated to 170 degrees, cook for half an hour.
DINNER
Let's cook pickle soup for lunch. For a change, I’m sharing a video recipe. I cook it the same way, just don’t fry it too much - just sauté the vegetables.
Portion - 300 ml. For pickle sauce, 2 slices of bread, fresh herbs.
SNACK
Since today is our day off, we will prepare not only pastries, but also pp-jelly beans. I give you 3 recipes to choose from, choose any one from this article except the last one. Our portion is 200 g!
Please note that the recipe specifies exactly agar-agar. It is not replaced with gelatin during fasting, since gelatin is an animal product.
DINNER
For dinner, let's make a delicious avocado salad.
What do you need:
- avocado - half a large one
- 2 medium tomatoes
- a handful of any greens
- dressing -1 tsp. grain mustard, 0.5 tsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. vegetable oil
We peel the avocado, cut it into pieces, chop the tomatoes too, put it on a plate along with the herbs and pour over the dressing. Salt - to taste.
Dinner
For dinner we give preference to protein foods and vegetables. An omelette is not festive. But a frittata (the same omelette, only baked) is a different matter. And it’s also healthier – after all, baking is healthier than frying.
Fluffy frittata with asparagus

Total: 1400 kcal
We remind you that diet depends on many variables. We just provide a base from which you can build. If you don't have enough calories, increase your portions, allow yourself more fruit, add 20 g of dark chocolate as a dessert or a slice of whole grain bread for dinner. Experiment, but listen to your body.

Day seven: final
Today is the last day of our week of fasting. Then you can repeat everything in order or swap the days. I recommend taking measurements in the morning. I'm sure both the scales and the measuring tape will please you.
BREAKFAST
Today you can make yourself any breakfast from those described in previous days. But if you want, bake peanut cookies using this recipe.
SNACK
A couple of fruits, maybe in the form of a fruit salad.
DINNER
For lunch, I suggest making potato pancakes (here is the first recipe). They are delicious served with tomato juice.
SNACK
Nuts (40-50 g), tea.
DINNER
Bean salad prepared according to the first recipe from this collection. Serving: 250 g of prepared salad. Serve it with fresh or pickled vegetables.
Well, wasn't it difficult? I hope you enjoy the food on this Lenten menu. If you have questions, feel free to ask them in the comments, I will try to answer as quickly as possible.
List of products for the Lenten menu
In principle, there are no exotic or expensive foods in the diet. Well, maybe only mung beans, chickpeas and tofu cheese, but it’s not difficult to buy them in 2021. Avocado, I think, has also become quite familiar to many. Everything else is usually in our kitchen. Just in case, I compiled a list of products for our menu:
- oatmeal;
- couscous;
- buckwheat;
- rice flour;
- fruits, berries - in season;
- fresh vegetables (onions, carrots, beets, cabbage, cucumbers/tomatoes, bell peppers, etc.)
- pickled vegetables (cucumbers, cabbage, tomatoes);
- various greens (I like ready-made mixes in supermarkets);
- any nuts;
- chickpeas, mung beans;
- tofu cheese;
- beans;
- mushrooms;
- avocado;
- vegetable oil (a couple of types, so that you can use it both for salads and for cooking);
- cocoa, baking powder, sahzam.
By the way, usually the cost of a pp-ration is cheaper than the cost of a traditional food set! This is noted by many who switch to proper nutrition. I wonder how it will work out for you?
