    There are no FR meal options in the Meal Plan 2 Phase 1 – but there are some with 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 SC – which is where I was thinking I could sub the 1/4 or 1/2 for FR instead???

    If I replace the turkey for cottage cheese (LP) should I add a fat since the fat would not be in the bites anymore from the FP??

    I like to train in the am also, can I have a scoop of protein powder prior and then take it out of one of the meals during the day?

    Naomi, Never did get an answer to this?
    Thanks

    So I’m guessing it should be 1 SC with 1/4 FR for the macro breakdown on low days? Correct?
    Also, I downloaded the updated version but it still says 1 1/4 FR – and High days still say 2 servings instead of 3. Just FYI

    I didn’t get a response so wasn’t sure if it went through on my phone.
    I am following Meal plan 2 of either the 60 day build challenge or the 40 day build challenge.

    Just curious to the know the science behind the alternating workouts each week?
    TIA

    Meal plan 2 I’ve been following the build 60 meal plan 2 because I found it’s the easiest for me to stick to.

    So will I still be able to lose inches/fat whether the carb macros are a little higher versus not (and I’m talking 165g versus 190g) for example?? And what do you mean by back yourself out slowly?

    I substituted the tomato and cucumber for mushrooms and mixed it all together – it was great!

    I just did this mixture yesterday and it was great! Depending on what meal plan you are on – just adjust quantities accordinly.

    The Exchange List from the 60 day Build Challenge says strawberries are 350g for 1 serving but the Exchange List for this challenge says 250g – Which is correct?

    No difference in clothes or inches – I do feel stronger and feel good. I find it interesting that the best results I had in a 30 day span was on the highest of calories. Since we are going to decreasing calories through the Summer Shred I was a little concerned.

    Following – wondering if there is a benefit to splitting them for better results also?

    So long story short I signed up for the Buns/Guns Challenge and life has just happened. Work is insane and I’ve pulled a tendon of some kind in my knee/calf area. So…..I am going to go back to the 60 day build diet – but if I can’t get in the cardio because of my tendon – should I adjust the food at all? As per calories? Thank you in advance. And hope everyone is staying healthy!

    Following as I seem to be struggling to put quick meals together for this challenge.

    Not really – seem to be just stuck. Felt the changes overall during the build phase but since we changed to cut no so much

    That’s one of my problems is I have bone on bone knees so I can’t do some of the running and plyo stuff that I’d like to but diet it is!!! I’ll keep plugging along.

    I had knee surgery over 15 years ago and menopause has kicked my butt the last few years so to be honest I was trying to give it my all but then the knees thought otherwise LOL. Just wanted to make sure I was getting the best results possible and if I needed to adjust food since I can’t go all out. Thanks!

    I also have a question – I have bone on bone knees and did HIIT 3 days in a row which impacted my knee. It’s still swollen after a week and half and having a hard time doing the HIIT portion at such a high intensity. I am following Meal Plan 2 – should I adjust the calories for the lack of the HIIT/Cardio?

    If I’m splitting my HIIT and weights – would I do meal 1 after HIIT and then post meal after weights?
