Morrisons High-Protein Vegetarian Plan — 1,500 kcal

High-protein meat-free eating. This 7-day plan targets 1,500 kcal/day and averages 97g of protein, built around Morrisons's Savers for an estimated £30–55/week. Meals lean on lower-fat vegetarian protein — egg whites, low-fat dairy, tofu and pulses — so each meal carries more protein for the calories it costs, leaving room to hit the day's target without relying on volume alone.

The One Tool This Plan Assumes

The protein and calorie figures on this plan are calculated from weighed portions. Estimating by eye is where most high-protein plans quietly drift, so a set of digital scales is the difference between following this plan and approximating it. Any scale works — this is simply a cheap, accurate one.

What Morrisons is good for here

  • Market Street ranges are good for buying protein in the amount a plan actually calls for.
  • Savers covers most cupboard staples needed for batch cooking.

Worth knowing before you shop

  • The Savers range has been cut back, with some lines moved to standard pricing.
  • 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
  • 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)
  • Add a couple of eggs or a portion of cottage cheese as a whole-food protein top-up
  • Use 0% fat Greek yogurt or quark in place of standard yogurt — same volume, far more protein

💪 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
  • Add a couple of eggs or a portion of cottage cheese as a whole-food protein top-up
