What about unsweetened coconut milk?
If the cals are low as well.
I am not into the sample meal either, dinner roll, Cheerios, almond milk, rice cakes are not for me. I want to stick to unprocessed foods like I would normally do. I would like to see a simple meal one: lean protein 4 oz, starch 4 oz, 1/2 fruit, 1/2 oz fat. As I am checking the macros I am not getting the meal totals which is frustrating. I haven’t listened to the FB live video, hoping it was addressed there.
You can just pick whatever you want with the exchange list and use the LP,F,SC etc that is identified next to each meal. YOu can eat what you want.
For the S’Mores Protein Pancakes recipe, we’re supposed to top it with mini marshmallows – yummy! How many would be appropriate? I don’t want to overdo it of course. Thanks!
The entire recipe calls for 1 cup of mini marshmallows.

3 egg whites should read 3 cups of egg whites

Right leg step ups (8-10 reps) followed directly by right leg Bulgarian squaTs ?
OR…. Do we do both legs of bench step ups then both legs of Bulgarian split squats ?My though is all one leg first but wanted to check
I would usually just do both legs of the step ups and then transition to the split squats
I read and wat he’s the videos so hopefully I’m not missing this answer, can you take Burn daily the whole way through the challenge?
You can taker burn yes. I would space it apart from your morning coffee if you drink coffee.
Hi! I’m super excited for these recipes! Could anyone tell me what the serving size is for the Cheddar Cauliflower Soup (1 cup or how much)? I know the recipe makes 6 servings but I will be doubling the recipe for the week and it’ll be tough to figure out how much one sixth of it is when I’m heating up 2 servings. Thanks!
I would just weigh the final product and divide by the servings you make. So I’d weigh it and then divide that by 6 to make my single serving.
Stephanie,
I would have suggested the same. per cookie is likely a typo. I have emailed about it.Hello, meal plan 3, meal 2 says 4 slices of turkey bacon.
I buy the costco tb and it is quite a bit larger of a slice than the exact same brand from the grocery store.
Costcos tb, 2 slices will nicely cover the sandwich. I would gladly eat 4 but i dont want to throw me off 😏
the label says:
2 slices 56g
calories 80
fat 3.5g
carbs 2g
prot 10g
thanksI mean 4 slices is closer to 25g of protein than 2. Thats what it says, if you only eat 2 its 10g of protein. try logging that brand and see where it gets you. we are all going to use different brands so it’s difficult to say.
Other than sodium, is it ok to add taco seasoning to meat? Will it affect overall calories or results?
You should be ok…prob more sodium.
Is this nutrition info correct for the recipe. It says per cookie so didn’t know if the numbers were correct or not
I havent heard of any changes. thats prob just a typo.
Also confused about this (in Canada and I have 2 sizes of cans and measured in g.
For Women’s meal plan 3, Phase one, meal 2 how many Oz of tuna am I aiming for?
Can you look at your can and see how much you need to get close to 33g of protein for your meal. Eat the ounces that would be close to that. Its not letting me click on your link. tell me what your label says and I can help.
I am 5’4.5′ weight 124 and have always done plan 2 however I eat at least 1800 calories on average and have been told I should be eating over 2000. SO my question is can I use plan 3 since the 1st phase is to add muscle or start with plan 2 and see how it goes? Thanks
Hi there, If you know that meal plan 3 is closer to your actual calories then start there, the second half is a cut so the calories will decrease.
Now I see. I have been doing completely different meals swapping out most everthing to have variety. I have 4 days now, so I can start to repeat and cook more during meal prep on Sunday. Thanks for assistance!
You’re welcome. We are here to help you make it as easy as possible.
Are you saying that people eat the same things every day on this challenge? There is only 1 meal plan that is for one day for phase 1 weeks 1-4. There is an option 1 & 2 but other than that, there are no changes between day 1 week 1 and to the end of week 4 if you follow that page?? SHe gives food exchange for a reason I would think.
Not at all but they just sub items in and out for small changes so they can keep it simple. Its just more work for you to redo every aspect of every meal. we just don’t want it to be too labor intensive for you.
Don’t be sorry 😊 I followed each plan after it ended until the next one began. I did not do the last one but kept things pretty in check until this last month or so. I did have more energy, and had some shape change, and felt stronger. I also understand that genetics might be working against me too.
I am going to put in max effort and stick to the food plan like glue just as I always have and see how things go!That sounds like a great plan. Take notice of your sleep, strength and the other things I mentioned. You will then have a good idea of where to go in the future with your macros. It’s helpful to look at every aspect so that you can see what result you are getting. we are here to help.
Hi, I love peloton bike rides but I’ve never paid attention to the exact ratios they use- I’m assuming they’re the same. Are they okay to choose as my 30min HIIT workout?
I don’t see an issue with using it.
Can I intermingle at home/dumbell with at home/ full equipment?
For example, I have a bench with leg attachment for extensions and curls and would like to use that when I can, as well as an Olympic bb with plates and a rack and kettlebells….
Thank you!
I would say as long as you can do the entire training plan, but I wouldn’t take some exercises and not others or you might miss some good pieces of that specific workout
Hi, in the E-book on page 117, it states “If you skip CARDIO but make it
up on a Saturday or Sunday (or
another day when it isn’t listed),
award yourself the 5 points on
the day you performed cardio
(even if it puts you over the total
points for that day)”
Should I give myself 5 points or 1 point? Wasn’t sure if I was missing something or it was a typo, thanks!The point grid is based on people doing the training on the specified days. if you move things around then you might end up scoring in the shaded areas because cardio isn’t scheduled on that day according to the program.
6 sets total and you are correct, the reps for the 4 sets change depending on the week. I suggest getting s workout log snd writing stuff down so you know how much weight to use etc so you can be consistent.
I found the traditional round rice cakes as well as thinner square cakes, both Lundberg. Which ones?
whichever ones gives you roughly 25g carbs for 2 cakes
That’s what I have been working on–the meal swaps. It takes a good amount of time to look everything up and plan out what to eat. Want to be sure I have everything I need so I can do my grocery list. But I’m on Day 4 now, so progress.
I would make it as easy as possible and eat what she has provided. You don’t need to rework the menu.
Need guidance….. I participated on you 40 day build and was consuming calories of 1800 on workout days and 1750 on off days. I am 5’5 and only weight 120. This build challenge only calls for phase one 1676 calories, this is going to put me on a calorie deficit and I’m afraid is going to make me loose weight instead of building muscle. With this in mind should I go up to the next meal plan? I’m confused!
If you know where you should be then do what makes more sense to you.
Hey! This is my 5th challenge and I am 5’8″ and 160lbs (normally about 150, but happy holidays!). I have always followed the height rule, followed meal plans and exercise exactly, and have seen minimal results. I trust the process completely. I am just wondering if I should change something or do something different to get better results?
Its hard to say did you have any results? stronger, more energy, felt good etc? and paid attention to where those macros were? Followed It after the challenge? There are so many factors you know? Im not a huge fan of always decreasing calories. If you always feel super full in the build part, maybe it is too many calories but again, I don’t know enough about you to make that call. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.
