Curious what people used for the vegan beef, too. I really wanted to post this on the FB page bc I think I would get more responses there. I appreciate yours, Naomi, but am really curious to know what other participants are using. Is it ok to ask this question on the FB page?
I’m definitely seeing what a huge difference the quality of your food choices can make. I was in a building phase recently, eating about 80 less grams of carbs a day – overall calories about the same – and wed to my daily protein bar and piece of cheese and dark chocolate squares. I feel so much less bloated eating this clean. And I am less hungry! I love it!
I just weighed all that I prepared and divided by 6. Fortunately, prepared, the dish case out to 24 ounces exactly. That made my servings 4 ounces each.
Hi – I am doing meal plan #3. For the egg white, I use the kind that come in a carton. The carton tells how much of the whites equal a whole egg, but not how much equals a single egg white.
I gave it my best guess this morning, but want to be as point as possible with my nutrition.
I use the Kirkland/Costco whites.
Brenda, I use the same ones. On the back of the box there is an asterisk. In small print it says “2 TBS of liquid egg whites are approximately equal to the egg white of one shelled egg”.
I have the same question. According to MyFitnessPal, I don’t have enough calories and macros left to finish eating today and I still have one more meal. So, for today, I have cut out some things (for example 2 rice cakes instead of 4).
You probably have something that is off. If MFP is telling you can’t eat anymore but the plan says you can. My guess is one of your choices has macros that aren’t matching with what we have. Take another look.
The only difference so far is steel cut vs quick oats. Looking for the green check is a helpful guide. Also, the answer on the egg whites question may be relevant.
Thank you!

Sandra got to what I was asking. Thanks! I am following meal plan 3. One meal option includes 1 1/4 cups of rice for example! In the food prep video, Nicole weighs out rice on food scale and weighs out 1/2 cup or 105g. But at the beginning of the video she holds up a dry measuring cup (as in dry v wet ingredients/foods) and says she sometimes uses that (but not at any point in the video). Hence my confusion. And if I measure my cooked rice in a measuring cup, that amount weighs about 5.3 ounces. Which is less than the 8 ounces that a cup contains. Not sure which number the macros are calculated off of.
Naomi, I am asking about how to measure once it is cooked. To portion my cooked serving, do I use a dry measuring cup or weigh out 8 ounces? I have looked for this information in the provided materials. I apologize if I am overlooking it.
There is another post that addresss this. You can split Meal 1 and eat a portion before you workout and eat the remainder with your post workout meal. I also workout first thing. I tried eating 80g of oatmeal yesterday. After 45 minutes it was still sitting in my stomach when I went to workout. I am going to eat the egg and egg whites before I workout and the oatmeal afterwards with the post workout meal. Some how. It’s a lot of food! I’m 5’ 61/2”, so eating a ton!
Good luck!
