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
It would definitely change the macros. The plant based protein has about 10g carbs more than nPower Nutrition.
This has been fixed.
First set is 30sec, 2nd set is 45sec and 3rd set is 1min
That would be fine.
It is not absolutely necessary. It can help with muscle building, but following the meal plan and lifting heavy can do that too 🙂
You can email [email protected] and we can check for you.
Just divide it into 4 servings evenly. I do not know the weight cooked per serving.
You are in the right place to ask questions about the challenge.
If you are looking for accountability and motivation and support, check out the FB page. Please do not post specific challenge questions in there though.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/NWFitCommunity/?ref=bookmarksTry to screen-shot it first.
Yep! That is just fine 🙂
No, just leave it. Don’t even worry about the couple extra grams.
yep! Measure meat cooked 🙂
Not really. It will go up and down quite a bit since it is anaerobic. I wouldn’t worry about heart rate during weights. Focus on the lifts. During cardio keep your heart rate in the right zone.
I throw mine in the airfryer. 10min and Viola!
Unfortunately no :/ Just grab a handful and enjoy 🙂
So I just got back from vacation today and am meal prepping and getting ready to start tomorrow a day behind everybody else. Should I just jump in with everybody else on workouts and do yesterday’s on one of my rest days? How should I go about doing this thanks in advance
That’s what I would do too 🙂
Without weights. Without hipcircle.
I love this!! Great work!
Are you doing any dynamic stretching beforehand? Do you work on foam rolling and any mobility exercises to help your back? Squats are SO MUCH more beneficial using a barbell instead of a Smith. I would try to warm up a little longer, film yourself and post it in the Facebook page so I can check your form and see why you are feeling it in your back.
Hey there! I would recommend choosing one of the other two post workout meals instead. If you do not care for Twizzlers, look up how many grams of carbohydrates are in the serving on your meal plan. Then find another form of carbohydrate with the same number of carbohydrates to make it an even swap.
I am used to lifting the heaviest weight I can for the desired reps. The problem I have with trying to pyramid and increase the weights is that the weight I just lifted for 15 reps during the first set is now the weight I am reaching failure on rep 12 during the second set and I may only be able to lift it 10-12 times on the third set so I am not able to increase the weight. If I were not supersetting the weights then I could but because of the supersets and trisets my muscles are fatiguing faster. Am I doing something wrong?
No it doesn’t sound like you are doing anything wrong. After the superset, I would rest a little longer before doing your next set. If you are lifting the same weight for set 2 and your reps go down, you may not have recovered enough to lift heavier.
We will update the do’s and don’t’s page.
You are to eat meal 5 every single day regardless if it is training day or not. If it is not a training day, have it for your last meal if the day.
