Dukan Diet plan is a protein-based diet focused on eating fewer carbohydrates and fats in the first few stages then transitioning to a protein-rich diet.
Here is an example diet plan for a Dukan Diet and the foods included distributed in breakfast, afternoon lunch, and dinner, with am and pm snacks.
Daily Meal Plans for Each Phase of Dukan Diet
Attack Phase Meal Plan
4 Phases Dukan Diet Meal Plan
This phase is purely made up of protein-rich foods. It is focused on using fat as the primary source of energy, carbohydrates, and fatty foods that are not introduced in this phase.

If you will notice the day-1 or “Attack” phase of the Dukan diet is more of keto foods, it is because Attack Phase is purely made of protein reach foods and less of carbohydrates.
Still, as a Registered Nutritionist and Dietitian, we suggest you add a little fat to your meals for an added source of energy.
You can add oatmeal to your breakfast if you want to include fiber since most of your meals are from protein-rich foods, and this will help you avoid constipation.
Before you start with Dukan Diet, consult your physician if you feel you have Arthritis or Gout since most of the foods from Day-1 may trigger your arthritis and joint pain.
