**Example Meal Plan**  Objective: The meal plan below will provide approximately 500 total calories in the most accurate and precise manner possible.  Breakfast (500 calories):  - 1 Medium sized Banana: approximately 105 calories - ¼ cup of Walnuts: approximately 200 calories - 2 large Eggs (scrambled): approximately 182 calories - 1 teaspoon of butter (for scrambling the eggs): approximately 34 calories - 1 tablespoon of maple syrup (to pair with the walnuts): approximately 52 calories  Total Breakfast Calories: 573 calories.  Adjustment:   Since the above portion sizes add up to 573 calories, which exceeds our target of 500 calories, we will need to make adjustments. Here's the modified plan:  - 1 Medium size banana - 105 calories,  - Up to 3/16 cup of Walnuts - approximately 150 calories - 1.5 large eggs scrambled - approximately 136.5 calories - 1 teaspoon of butter for scrambling - 34 calories - 1 teaspoon (not a tablespoon) of maple syrup to pair with the walnuts - approximately 17 calories   Total Modified Breakfast Calories = 442.5 which is still slightly short of 500 calories.  Adjustment: Continue using ¼ cup of Walnuts - approximately 200 calories to meet the calorie target.  **Final Breakfast Meal Plan:**  - 1 Medium Banana - 105 calories - ¼ cup of Walnuts - 200 calories - 1.5 large Eggs (scrambled) - 136.5 calories - 1 teaspoon of butter - 34 calories - 1 teaspoon of maple syrup - 17 calories  Final Total Breakfast Calories = 492.5 calories. This falls very close to the target 500 calories.  **Grocery List:**  - 1 Medium size Banana - 1 packet of Walnuts - 1 dozen large Eggs - 1 small tub of butter - 1 bottle of maple syrup   This meal plan comes very close to the specified 500-calorie limit. It contains a balance of protein, fats, and carbohydrates, making it both nutritious and delicious!
