Ultimate Quick Fitness & Diet Plans for Busy Women
This page gives you three simple levels of fitness & diet plans. Pick the one that matches your available time each day:
- Level 1 – Normal weekly plan (20–30 min sessions, 5 days a week)
- Level 2 – Daily ≤30 min plan (one workout per day)
- Level 3 – Daily 10 min plan (fastest option for very busy women)
Universal Rules (for all levels)
- Calories: To lose weight, eat slightly less than you burn.
- Easy guide: Eat about 1,500–1,800 calories per day (most women) if you want to lose fat.
- If very small body → stay closer to 1,400–1,500.
- If taller/heavier or very active → 1,700–1,900 may still work.
- Protein: Eat 20–30g of protein at each meal.
- Examples: 2 eggs + Greek yogurt, or chicken breast size of your palm, or 1 scoop whey shake.
- Total per day: 70–100g protein is a good target for most women.
- Food choices:
- Fill half your plate with vegetables.
- One quarter with protein (meat, fish, eggs, beans, tofu).
- One quarter with healthy carbs (brown rice, oats, potato, fruit).
- Add a little healthy fat (nuts, avocado, olive oil).

- Progress is measured weekly (energy, clothes fitting, average weight).
- Be patient: 8–12 weeks for visible strong results.
