减脂餐

• Pinyin: jiǎn zhī cān
• Hanzi breakdown: 减脂 (reduce body fat) + 餐 (meal) -> fat-loss meal.

Meaning

A meal designed for fat loss, usually controlled in calories and macros.

It is common in fitness and meal-prep contexts, but not every bland or small meal qualifies. The term focuses on body composition rather than general dieting.

Examples

1. 今天的减脂餐有鸡胸、蔬菜和糙米。 Today's fat-loss meal has chicken breast, vegetables, and brown rice.
2. 减脂餐别只水煮，调味也很重要。 Don't just boil everything when making a fat-loss meal; seasoning matters too.
3. 外卖减脂餐热量表要仔细看。 Check the calorie information carefully on delivery fat-loss meals.
