Hi Elisabeth,

I have actually been doing that. Not sure wether is good or not, but in my mind it can’t be bad.

I would say not so much since we are trying to grow muscle and it is hard to do if you are eating less than needed. Take a closer look at the times you are eating and see if you can squeeze it in somewhere. Some of my meals I eat every two hours. I hope this helps.

Can I substitute that butter for a vegan butter?

Hi Kitty,

I am using the same plan. If you are not paying the extra $ for MFP then the macros are not going to be the same as what Nicole suggested. I say if you don’t mind paying the price then get it. as for the protein shake, yes the 1815 on the days you work out does include the shake. On the days you don’t work out the calories will be less because you don’t drink the shake. I don’t weigh the spinach. It’s just one of those foods that its so low on calories that it won’t make a dent, in my opinion. I just do the 2 cups as noted on the plan.

Hope this helps.

Nicole I have entered the meals into MFP and the totals exceed and/or under exceed the total macros by more than 5grams. What do you think I am doing wrong?

Thank you,

What if we don’t want to do the panckakes every day. What would be a food swap for it?

Thanks

Hi Nicole,

My question is about Calories and Macros. As a typical woman, afraid of eating too much for fear of gaining weight, I had determined that my calorie count should be 1650cal a day. 50% carbs, 30% protein, 20% fat. I am 5’2″, 121 pounds. I weight train 4-5 days a week and do cardio 4 days a week. I noticed that I haven’t been sticking to the 1650 and would typically eat between 1400 and 1500. Do you think 1650 is an adequate calorie count for someone looking to grow muscle with my stats? Sorry if this is a lengthy question.

All the best,

Jolie

Hi Nicole!!

Quick question. Do you log your supplements on MFP and if so do you count them towards your calorie, carb, fat intake? I’m asking because some of the supplements I’m taking, like Joint Guard, have some fat in it.
Thank you for all your time and advice you give each and every one of your members.

xoxo,
Jolie

Hi Nicole,

I believe you mentioned before that you do fasted cardio. How many times a week do you do this and do you take any supplements before hand. For example, BCAA. I have read from different sources that doing fasted cardio can impede muscle growth. What do you think about this?

Thanks,
Jolie
