MaureenModeratorFor rice in my Fitness pal you need to specify whether it’s cooked or not. That sounds like that would be the carbs for a dry amount. Some items you measure cooked and some uncooked. Page 52 and 53 will answer some of these questions. “ As a general rule, measure all meat,
potatoes, rice and pasta (whole wheat,
of course) cooked. Measure oatmeal dry.” p 53
MaureenModeratorAnd can I substitute the 1 box raisins instead of the dried fruit after my work out ?
It’s best to use the exchange list when choosing another option. It will keep your exchanges close to the plan
MaureenModeratorThe meal plan calls for 1 can of tuna in water – should that be a 5 oz or 3 oz can?
A 3oz can should be around 26g of protein which with the other foods should come close to the 30g goal for that meal. If I am looking at the correct meal plan.
MaureenModeratorThank you!!!
You’re welcome
MaureenModeratorIs the egg count correct for Meal 5 / Post Workout meal? I am 5’10 so Meal Plan 3; It’s showing 8 eggs a day– equals 56 eggs a week? The grocery list only shows 2 dozen, so I am thinking maybe it’s a typo for 8 eggs a day in Meal 5 / Post Workout? If it is not a typo, I assume it’s 8 whole eggs?
It actually should be egg whites the post workout meal shouldn’t contain fat.
MaureenModeratorNot seeing zucchini or yellow squash on the exchange list…would you count these as SC or Veg? I don’t want to waste food that I already purchased.
yellow squash is a little less than 10g of carbs so I would put that on the SC list. Zucchini is way less so just vegetable would be fine.
MaureenModeratorWill there or is there the workout tracker sheets like there was for the level up challenge?
There is the accountability tracker on page 98.
MaureenModeratormost sprouted grain breads are about 70-90 cals a slice. 120/slice (if that’s what it is….might push the calories up a bit higher than you want them.
MaureenModeratorHow do we know when changes are made to meal plans
Sometimes they sent the changes in an email but they make changes with the pdf as they discover any errors. If you plan on printing, I would usually wait a week just in case. When they do make changes, just resave the pdf and the updates will be in there.
MaureenModeratorHi. When I signed up, it mentioned Daily Coaching. How is that working? How do we receive that? Thank you.
Coaching in the forums. That we are available daily for any support or questions you might have.
MaureenModeratorHey there, just checking because I wasn’t paying close attention, is there a full video of the workouts as a whole or is it only exercise by exercise?
the gym workouts you can view exercise by exercise. but the at home is a follow along workout. So you can figure out what works best for you.
MaureenModeratorHello, just want to make sure that I am understanding the meal lists… So I can choose meal #1 option #1 then switch to meal #2 option #2 if I wanted to?? Even though the macros are not the same??
The meal macros are roughly equal for each meal and each option….however, the post workout meal does not have fat it’s a LP and and SC. Other than that….you can eat a meal more than once, switch to another option etc.
MaureenModeratorJust here to say day 1/shoulders and abs was great! Gonna be another great challenge!!
Awesome! Off to a great start 🙂
MaureenModeratorNevermind, I just rewatched the welcome video and Nicole Mentioned that Hybrid was ok, I must of missed that the first time.
Glad it works for you! Thank you for rewatching the video. There is so much good info. If you have any other questions, just ask.
MaureenModeratorHi there,
I think there is a mistake in the alternative meal on the last page for meal plan one.
LP 6 hard-boiled eggs I think it should be
LP 6 egg whitesMaybe I am wrong
Thank you! I am emailing the team now to make that change. SHould read hardboiled egg whites if we are talking LP’s. Making sure that’s what they meant.
MaureenModeratorHello! I am logged into my account and can access the program in all areas except the Upload Photos section. It goes to a general information statement. The same thing happens when I try to access it through the e-book. I am planning on submitting them tomorrow. Thanks!
Sending an email to the team. Thank you.
MaureenModeratorI recently went through a reverse diet for the past 6months and got up to 2000 calories. Ive been sitting there for about 3 weeks. Im 5’1 and 130lbs. My question is which meal plan should I do? Meal plan 1 or 2??
Thank You,
Kathy
Hi kathy,
What has that felt like for you? What changes happened with your body being at 2000 and what’s your goal with this challenge? THanks
MaureenModeratorHi. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up that the lemon herb turkey meatballs are listed as being phase 2 but the recipe is grouped with phase 1.
Hi there,
THank you! I will let them know
MaureenModeratorI don’t see anything in the rules that says you can’t.
MaureenModeratorI know that the recipe for the pesto chickens says 2 servings. I have been splitting all the ingredients into two meals except for the pita pocket. I for some reason failed to see that I only get half of the pita pocket per meal. I messed up. Putting this out here just in case anyone else on meal plan 1 did what I did. blehhh
SERVINGS: 2
INGREDIENTS
• 6 oz chicken breast (cooked, shredded)
• 2 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp basil pesto
• ½ cup roasted red bell pepper strips
(jarred or homemade)
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 whole-grain pita pocket
• Salt and pepper to tasteYou didn’t screw up anything. Just reset and loosen the grip on things. We don’t need to be perfect just do your best as I know you are.
MaureenModeratorCrickets. That’s service.
I’m sorry. It sounded more like you wanted the feedback of other participants not a question for us to answer. If you would like to give your feedback about the video, email [email protected]. They take all feedback very seriously.

MaureenModeratorRegarding the ebook saved on my phone, I find the music really loud and can’t hear Nicole speak over it. Wonder in future challenges, if the music could be at a lower decibel? Also, I don’t see an option to make it full screen either.
You can email [email protected] and let them know. There usually is a square type icon that lets you go full screen.
MaureenModeratorYou can email [email protected] and just let them know your difficulties so they can look into it for the future. Thank you!
MaureenModeratorCan I just say….I love this meal!
Yes you can!!
MaureenModeratorI just want to confirm – when the meal plan says 5oz of potato that means cooked potato, correct? Thanks!
Correct
