I roast them. Have steamed them in the past but I find roasting tastes better to me. I season with salt, pepper and garlic powder

This first phase of the challenge is a muscle building phase. Caloric intake is higher and for most is higher than normal and cardio is at a minimum. That is to help with muscle growth. With the extra carbs you will also retain a little bit of extra fluid. Once calories and carb intake decrease with each phase you should see more definition/tone.

I live in Australia as well. I have found it in Go Vita in the freezer section. It is $12-13 though. I have used the Helga’s low carb bread which can be found in Coles and woolies as an alternative option

I am in the same boat. I multiplied the recipe by three to give you 6 servings. Weigh total of each component and then divide by four. This will give you 1.5serve and also four parfaits.

As phase 1 is a muscle building phase you may be eating more calories than you’re used to. In that adjustment phase (first few days) you may feel a little bloated but should settle down once your body adjusts. Trust the process. And good luck 🙂

I live in Australia also and have had trouble finding fat free sour cream. I have used the weight watchers extra light sour cream so I could enjoy this meal and have adjusted other macros in the meal (e.g. dropping the amount of pecans). I used My Fitness Pal to ensure macros were equivalent to what was recommended and they are pretty spot on

I have done the same. I liked the look of this meal option but not the best at cooking fish. Plus had loads of chicken I needed to use up. Use my fitness pal or similar app to help with macros. As chicken has more fat in it than white fish you will need to drop your amount of pecans to balance out (that’s how I did it) and amount of chicken would be slightly less than amount of white fish. This works out to be pretty spot on with protein numbers as well as all other macros for this meal option

I split some of the meals as well as due to being on feet all day and time poor during day at times. You could also use the pecans from the fish tacos as a snack. Halve the Greek yogurt option. And as I train early morning I eat half of meal one pre training and eat second half as morning tea

My gym has a spin bike, but no electronic components (no timer, no speed monitor etc.). I got a cadence app for my phone which also has a timer in order to get the right RPM for each section.
