    It could be a lot of things:
    1 brand used
    2 Mistake in MFP
    3 Mistake in serving size

    Keep in mind that all meals are within 5g of the goal number, so it won’t be 100% perfect but it should be in range. It is impossible to get exact numbers on any meal plan. Consistency is key here.

    This is ok- it is more about the total calories/macros than how far apart or when you eat them. Hopefully you are back on schedule tomorrow 🙂

    Avoid any extra anything. It will effect your overall calories and macros for the day.

    Enjoy this first phase! In 3 more weeks calories will drop. Use the extra calories to push hard in the gym 💪

    Use the talk test. If you can start talking without dying it is time to do the hard interval again.

    It may depend on the dressing you used.

    You don’t need to. If you prefer tracking along the way you can use My Fitness Pal

    Yep! It’s just calories from protein. No worries 😉

    Hey! It is ok!
    I answered your pancake question in the other thread.
    Basically if your pancake meal is 1 1/2 servings, you would make 4 pancakes still.
    Eat 1 1/2 of them for one day.
    Eat 1 1/2 of them for day 2
    You will have 1 left over. Add this to the next batch you make 🙂

    Don’t stress about broccoli! It is literally 30cal in a serving. 100g is ROUGHLY 1cup, so just measure the 100g and you are good to go!

    4 servings do not split into 3 1.5 servings so it can’t just be split into 3

    You would have:
    1 1/2
    1 1/2
    and
    1 more left over. So you would have to combine this one with the next batch you make.

    How about an alternative to leg extensions? I have ongoing meniscus issues, and physical therapists have advised me against even slow, controlled use of the leg extension machine. Are there lunges or step ups I could do instead?

    I feel you on the meniscus. I had surgery on mine twice. Hopefully over time you are able to do leg extensions again!
    If you are looking for alternative exercises, they are listed under the demo video for that exercise. Leg extensions are difficult to replace- I would try hack squats or any other exercise that is a quad focused movement. You could always just do extra sets of squats in your workout to make up for it too.

    Hi. Where is the video that shows the hip circle? The only video I see stops half way through and only shows sqats with barbell

    All of the exercises that require a hip circle will be in the video demo for that exercise. There is one we have to replace- the squat 🙂

    I submitted my photo’s Sunday morning but did not receive an email confirming receipt. How long does it typically take to get a confirmation email?

    Email [email protected] just to make sure we received them. We will have to look your account up.

    It should say the weight in grams on the nutrition label.

    All rice meals are measured cooked.

    I would have half of meal 1 before training, post workout meal after weights and cardio. Then 2-3hrs after that have the second half of meal 1.

    4am- 1/2 meal 1
    6am- post workout shake
    9am- 1/2 meal 1
    12am- meal 2
    3pm meal 3
    6pm meal 4

    Awesome. My other question was, like today for example, I ate my apple a good hour away from the rest of that meal. At work I basically graze because I can’t take the time to sit and eat the whole thing. Is splitting the items up like that a big deal as long as I get everything in? Or is it designed to eat the certain food groups together

    However you have to get it in is just fine 🙂

    2 scoops is 40g.
    All suggested macros for each meal are within 5g above or below the goal. I hope this makes sense.

    This means weight 30g dry without water or any liquid first on a scale before adding water to it to cook. Do not cook it in milk.
