Mix-and-Match Meals: The Plan

You can eat more and lose more with this personalized eating plan. How it works: Mix and match 21 breakfasts, lunches, and dinners and 14 snacks, and you'll never feel deprived or bored.

Want waffles every day for breakfast? Go for it! Need quick takeout ideas? We've got 'em.

It's all up to you -- choose and enjoy whatever foods you like. On this diet, you're the boss.

You can mix and match snacks -- like a 1/2 cup of raspberry sorbet for 100 calories. Yum!

Mix and match breakfasts -- like sliced pear and almond-butter toast for 350 calories. Yum!

Mix and match lunches -- like an avocado and black-bean wrap for 400 calories. Yum!

Mix and match dinners -- like garlic-basil shrimp and zucchini pasta for 450 calories. Yum!
