File #1 to #5 are based on the 2007 and 2019 CFG.
File #1 includes some tips at the end.
Files #2 to #5 (sample meal plans):
  • Each file includes a few notes at the beginning, a table of how many food group servings to have at each meal and snack, a table of the type and amount of foods to have at each meal and snack, and then a list of simple recipes (just names like a “stir fry”) for each meal and snack.
  • Each table includes 3 meals and 2 or 3 snacks.
  • The files do NOT include full recipe instructions, a grocery list, calorie/nutrient information, or plans about fluid intake. Each plan likely provides about 1700-2200 calories in total.
  • The plans are based on a sedentary (low) level of physical activity.
  • The files usually only show general food names, such as “cooked rice” and “milk”.
  • Flavor ingredients (e.g. spices) are not in the plans, but you can include them.
  • The files include animal-based foods, like chicken.
  • The plans may or may not be appropriate for people with certain medical conditions.
Files #6 to #8 are included for FREE. In these files, the links are hidden so that you just have to click on the titles to open the webpages. I created these files on December 13, 2022.
File #6: One of the webpages has a table of calorie needs and calories provided by the CFG.
File #8: The list organizes recipes into categories, such as rice or salads. Each recipe is only written once in this list.
Format:
  • 8 PDF files of text with no pictures, except that file #1 has two plate drawings (no color). File #6 is 1 page long; files #2 and #3 are each 2 pages long; files #1, #4, #5, and #7 are each 3 pages long; and file #8 is 5 pages long. Each page is a letter size.
  • The files will be in a zip folder. Double click the folder to open it. If you want to, you can copy the files and then paste them into a regular folder.
Please look at the 2007 and 2019 versions of CFG before looking at my files.
Note: Health Canada created CFG and I did not help to create it.
