What is the nutritional composition of carbohydrates, protein and fat per day on the Nutrisystem weight loss program?

The standard Nutrisystem® program delivers approximately 45 – 55% of calories from carbohydrates, 25 – 30% of calories from protein, and less than 30% of calories from total fat. Our personalized plans, while still balanced, will be tailored to your nutritional needs.

The Nutrisystem weight loss program delivers a balanced approach to nutrition. Nutrisystem plans are designed to meet, or exceed, the Healthy US-Style Dietary Pattern for Adults set forth by the government in the 2020 – 2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

A critical new point to these guidelines was a more restrictive sodium limit for certain populations. In response to these new recommendations, we have made a commitment to further reduce the sodium content of our weight loss programs over the next few years.
