Hi Nicole,
Yes because in the Mens Meal plan 1, there is 1 1/2 servings of the Savory Turkey Hash compared to the one serving in Womens Meal Plan 2. The veggie calories adjusted when the serving size of the Turkey Hash increased.
It is not in there because the macros for one serving is higher than the total macros per meal in plan 1. I felt it would make it really challenging to have you figure out the portion for 3/4 of a serving and then add in something else to make up for the macros that were too low.
You can always take a serving of veggies from another meal and add it to your breakfast 🙂
Just know that anything added to the meal plan will increase the macros.I would heat up the oat bran with water similar to oatmeal, add the seeds to the oat bran and have the cottage cheese on the side 🙂
Feel free to use a sweetener of choice in the oat bran- splenda, truvia, stevia, etc.Do you have an exercise ball? That would be the best alternative- using an exercise ball in place of the bench. If not, I would do cable pull throughs
Sorry- it should be 9 lettuce leaves. The serving size is correct (3). I mathed incorrectly lol
The combination of turkey, nuts, carrots, etc will make more than you imagine for 3 leaves. Please try it and report back 🙂I think the Chipotle Chicken bowl may have a typo too. It says 2 servings? and is the 1/4 cup shredded lettuce correct?
Yes it is correct. It’s not a salad so the shredded lettuce is really just a topper for crunch
Hi! Denise it is 3 servings. Sorry about the confusion. Divide the lettuce into 3 servings (add one more leaf)
women’s meal plan 2 post workout
goal: 32g c/32g p/0g f
Meal: 36g c/34g p/1.5g fwomen’s meal plan 3 post workout
goal: 36g c/36g p/0g f
Meal: 36g c/34g p/1.5g fThe reason I left the meal the same is because the macros for that meal are within 5g of the goal for each. If I increased the post workout meal or decreased it, it would make it very difficult to measure (imaging measuring 1 1/8th of a serving of chicken salad or using the exchange list for 3/8ths of a fruit serving as an example). I hope that makes sense 🙂
Hi Jodie!
Good catch- you are correct. It should read:
(3/4 SC, 3/4 FR, LP) 1.5 servings High Protein Cheesecake (see recipe)Egg whites are one of the leanest sources of protein you can consume.
The yolk is where all of the fat in the egg lies.
So if we want to add additional fat, we add the yolk. If not, we just eat the whites.Claudia, yes you can use the fat burner and pre workout during this Challenge.
Jennifer- the only one that is out of stock is the multivitamin. We unfortunately will not have it back in stock before the end of this program, so we would advice in the meantime to find an alternative that is comparable. All of the other products are still available.
This is the tough part with different brands. I created it based on a 1-20 level stepmill, so if yours is half of that for max speed, I would choose half of what the level for each interval says. So if it is level 8 in the program, do level 4 on yours, etc.
I am assuming you are doing Meal Plan 2.
(2 V, ½ F, P) 1 serving Spaghetti Squash
Casserole V2 (SEE RECIPE)
• (V) 100g spring mix lettuce
• (½ V) 150g cucumber
• (F) 10 ml olive oil
• (OC) 2 tbsp balsamic vinegarThis equals 3 1/2 Vegetables, 1 1/2 Fat, 1 lean protein and one optional condiment (OC)
Hi Tricia,
They are similar to the Training Day Macros in B&G and that is totally ok! Both Challenges were geared toward fat loss. Even if macros are similar, the meal plans, recipes, and workouts are all completely different which is helpful to avoid hitting plateaus. Did you see results with the Buns and Guns Challenge?
Hi Kathleen! Our designer is out of town over the weekend and will make these final changes as soon as he returns. I will let you know or Maureen will let you know as soon as the most recent e-book has been uploaded so you can print. Thank you so much for your patience.
Hello!
You can add extra liquid if it is too thick to pour like you did. The pancakes are small which is why for most meal plans I have you eat more than one of them.Regarding the ( FR, 1/2 SC, F) I categorize them based on macros for that meal. It isn’t an exact swap from the ingredients in the recipe.
I hope that helps!That is so great to hear! That is my hope for everyone who joins my Challenges. Thank you so much for your feedback! <3
Ideally as long as you get a source of protein and carbs in your body post workout within about an hour it will help with muscle recovery. Adherence to the plan is crucial for long term success and enjoying what you eat and when is a huge part of that.
Per the instructions of the challenge, you would have your breakfast, then train, then have your post workout meal, and the rest of the meals after that. If you don’t have time to eat before you work out in the morning, then just have your breakfast after you train. And since you enjoy having your post workout meal before bed, continue doing that even though you aren’t training in the evening. The most important thing is that you are getting in the recommended amount of calories throughout the day.
