    Is there a break in between both legs or just keep going straight through until done?

    Keep going through the entire time. You don’t want to rest long for these.

    Yep! Fit them in when you can.

    LOL make sure you are getting enough sleep! also be sure to get all of your water in. That will make a huge difference in energy levels.

    Weigh the spinach raw and yes you can have sparkling calorie free water 🙂

    I have set it up so that you have high days PRIOR to training glutes or arms. The reason is so that you have an influx of carbs and your body has time to absorb them before the workout you will need them. For example, if someone trains at 5am on a high day, they will not benefit from the carbs during their workout that day.
    If you have to swap the workouts around for whatever reason, just keep the high days as scheduled. You want to avoid having two high days too close and then 4-5 low days in a row for this challenge.

    Hi! You are over thinking this. Just divide the recipe into 4 equal servings and enjoy! (make them as even as you can).

    I created the days as close as possible so that it would be more convenient but I did add some variety due to the changes in macros.

    Hi Lydia,
    The exercise demo for that is at the bottom of the TRAINING PHASE 1 page. Hover over the link and click to see the video.

    Ok-so the recipe calls for 1 lb ground chicken BREAST, but it sounds like the nutrition facts listed for the recipe are based on 1 lb ground chicken probably including dark meat-I could only find ground chicken breast the first time I looked-I will look for something else with more fat. This makes more sense. We were just trying to clarify the nutrition information listed for the recipe only, not the entire meal. Thanks for the clarification!

    Yep- it is ground chicken. Not the breast 🙂

    I would just choose a different option 🙂

    You might try sugar free Starbursts or sugarfree Jelly Belly Jellybeans to try to match Twizzlers. You will not get the same portion size as you would with a twizzler but if our coaches agree then try it out! I can not have certain food dyes so twizzlers have been on the do not eat list or you go to the hospital since I was little😩

    The reason we are having Twizzlers is because of the sugar. I would not recommend having sugar free candy instead

    1-2. Hopefully you do not need more than that. I would focus on sleep and getting more water in throughout the day

    Also, the ground chicken I used for the recipe has about 10g fat per 3.5oz

    Are you positive the serving is supposed to be 6. I’ve tried numerous types of ground chicken and can not get the macros to match for 6 serving. I have with 4 servings but not 6. Here is a screen shot with 6 and one with 4. The 6 only says like 14g protein.

    If you divide the recipe into 6 servings, the macros are 176cal/10f/8c/15p
    You will add this to the rest of the items listed for your meal on the plan. That will make up the remaining macros.

    It can’t be the macros for the total meal because all three meal plans are different and the macros are listed at the bottom of the page for that specific recipe only-I don’t know what is going on with it-hopefully someone will clarify soon!

    The macros are for the total meal. Your meal probably has one serving of the recipe PLUS something else to make up the remainder of macros.

    Correct me if I’m wrong here as I haven’t prepared this recipe yet.. but I think the macros look off because you need to include the green beans and egg whites to make up the total macro count. So divide your chicken chipotle recipe into 6 servings. The meal says 1 serving of Chicken chipotle then + green beans + the extra egg whites.

    She is correct!

    2 cups of green beans! are we supposed to do fresh or canned?

    Either one is fine

    Yes MFP has a huge margin of error. I would recommend following the meal plan as written instead of stressing about the app 🙂

    Twizzlers are red licorice.
    If you do not like licorice, you can chose another meal plan, or find another carb source with the same number of carbs, fats and proteins that your serving of licorice has.

    If your meal plan says ‘no filling’ then it is no filling. You have additional food to go with the crepe to make up your carbs for that meal

    in reply to: Plant Based Protein vs NPower Nutrition Protein #245861

    It would definitely change the macros. The plant based protein has about 10g carbs more than nPower Nutrition.
