Morrisons Weight Loss Meal Plan — 1,500 kcal
Anyone aiming for a sustainable calorie deficit. This 7-day plan targets 1,500 kcal/day and averages 102g of protein, built around Morrisons's Savers for an estimated £40–55/week. Meals lean on lower-fat protein — chicken breast, white fish, egg whites, 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.

The Assumptions Behind This Plan
Every plan is built on four decisions. If one of them does not match your week, that is the part to change - the swaps below cover the common cases.
| Decision | This plan uses | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Calorie target | Built around roughly 1,500 kcal per day | Lower-calorie days need protein, fibre and vegetables so the plan still feels like meals. |
| Supermarket | Morrisons | Morrisons pages suit fresh-counter options plus standard supermarket staples. |
| Budget | £40–55/week estimate | Budget plans keep variety while still prioritising own-brand and batch-friendly ingredients. |
| Prep style | Standard (20–30 min/day) | Standard-prep plans balance variety, fresh meals and realistic weekday cooking. |
Shopping This Plan At Morrisons
Strong on fresh counters and in-store production, mid-priced against the rest of the big four.
What Morrisons is good for here
- Butcher and fish counters allow buying exact prep quantities rather than fixed packs.
- 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.
Retailer details checked 2026-07-20. Ranges and loyalty schemes change — the weekly cost estimate above is based on the plan's budget tier, not on live prices at this store.
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
- Use frozen chicken breast instead of fresh (saves ~£1.50/week, same protein)
- Swap fresh berries for frozen mixed berries (same nutrients, fraction of the cost)
💪 Increase protein
- Add extra egg whites (3–4) to a breakfast instead of whole eggs — protein without the extra fat
- Swap a carb portion for extra chicken breast or white fish on higher-hunger days
- Use 0% fat Greek yogurt or quark instead of standard yogurt for the same volume, far more protein
🥦 Make it vegetarian
- Replace chicken with Quorn fillets or diced firm tofu
- Swap beef mince for tinned green lentils or plant-based mince
- Use halloumi or feta instead of meat in lunch salads
- Substitute eggs or cottage cheese for fish-based meals
