Everybody's nutritional needs are different.
How many calories you need depends on your age, sex, activity level, lean body mass and weight loss goals.
Protein needs also vary, with body size. And everybody needs enough fibre, fluid, vitamins and minerals for overall good health.
When you place your order with Trim-A-Weigh, your food choices are adjusted according to your required calorie (energy) level. The full program provides adequate protein, vitamins and minerals for the average customer.
