Morrisons Pescatarian Higher-Protein Weekly High Protein Low Calorie Plan — 1,800 kcal
Higher-protein meal planning within a lower-calorie target. This 7-day plan targets 1,800 kcal/day and averages 142g of protein, built around Morrisons's Savers for roughly £30–40/week. Meals lean on lower-fat protein — white fish, prawns, egg whites and low-fat dairy — so each meal carries more protein for the calories it costs, leaving room to hit the day's target without relying on volume alone.

Counter service is not available in every store or at every hour.

Swaps & Suggestions
💰 Make it cheaper
Buy Morrisons's Savers range for rice, pasta, oats and tins — nutritionally identical to standard lines, at the lowest price point in store
Replace fresh salmon with tinned mackerel or sardines in brine (saves ~£2–3/week)
Buy dried pulses (lentils, chickpeas, black beans) and cook in bulk rather than tinned — cheaper per portion
Swap fresh berries for frozen mixed berries (same nutrients, fraction of the cost)
Keep tinned tuna, mackerel or sardines in for a fast protein top-up with no cooking
💪 Increase protein
Add extra egg whites (3–4) to a breakfast instead of whole eggs — protein without the extra fat
Use 0% fat Greek yogurt or quark instead of standard yogurt for the same volume, far more protein
Keep tinned tuna, mackerel or sardines in for a fast protein top-up with no cooking
