Hello, piggybacking on this. This has happened to me and I was wondering a couple
More questions about this. 1) could you just space out the meals every couple hours or so if needed? I’ve been trying to do every 3 hours or so but if they day gets alterade and you have to do 4 meals with only 7 hours or so left to the day before you go to bed…. 2) I’ve had a similar situation where there was a big gap that I couldn’t get a meal in and my 5th meal may be like 9 or 10 pm. Would it still be best to have the last meal very late? And then should I try to stay up for a few hours to digest or it’s better to get the nutrients in even if you have to go to sleep shortly after the last meal? Also, is it best to only have 30-35 g of protein at a time? Does your body not process protein than that even if you had more protein in a meal? I’ve had where I’ve got home from a workout and had my protein with water and raisins but then had to make my meal to eat in 1 hour or 1 1/2 hrs or so due to the timing of end of the day. Would love to hear recommendation’s for these types of scenarios or anything you could share. Thank you!You can space the meals with what works for your schedule. If it’s a shake, I think it’s fine to have before bed. A big meal that has to work hard to digest will prob disrupt your sleep a bit. The how much protein at one meal debate is a lot more complicated. Sticking to 30-40 grams seems to be a good rule but again it’s different for everyone’s body and circumstances surrounding the meal. Have more and most likely you will have bad gas lol. If you find yourself cramming two meals close together at night, I would work on the timing a bit more.
Hello
Should I put my workout setting on functional strength training when we set our watches or high intensity interval training? I’ve did both and it’s funny that hIT will calculate more calories burned it seems even on the same workout.
If you are strength training I would put it on a setting that’s closest to that. HIIT is more cardio
Yes, but was hoping someone else had already figured it out. Messing with a recipe and ingredients get a little tricky.
That’s the whole reason why it’s done for you. It can get tricky. If you don’t know how I would stick to the plan
Yay! Corn starch is on the condiment list!! Never thought of it as such but yay!
Just be careful when using mixes etc they can add extra calories when using here and there and here and there can really add up
I am not addicted to the waffles. How do we make them work in phase 2?
Please and thank you 🙂
lol you can try and make the macros work for that one meal. Are you experienced with doing that?
Sounds like it’s very very beneficial! I just cannot imagine putting it on yogurt! LOL maybe I’ll do an exchange for almonds! But I’m definitely going to check it out I can put it on my veggies!!
Sounds like it wouldn’t taste the best but who knows.
Good morning!
Where/how do gravies fit in? Asking in regards to women’s plan 3, meal 5, option 1. (Phase 2) either use a packet that contains 20 cals and 4g carb for the whole cup mixture using half cup per serving. Or, use a little corn starch with water (about a tbls)
What affect, if any, would this have on macros?
They normally aren’t part of the challenges. It would be considered a condiment and I would stick to what’s on the condiment list. If you are trying to stick to the challenge.Thanks!
I’m interested about hearing more on Udo’s oil. Can you tell me the benefits? I don’t have this. I normally use walnuts or almonds as my fat source with yogurt and berries, but if UDO’S OIL has special benefits then I’ll purchase & give it a try. Thank you.
It’s a combo of omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. It’s free of fish oil. Helps lower LDL cholesterol and can decrease risk of heart disease. I would ask your doc if that’s a good fit for you.
Hello,
When I made the toast with smoked salmon the other day and shared on the FB page how it was a lot of piled up salmon some mentioned about adding an egg with salmon to lessen the amount of salmon. My recipie is for 3oz of smoked salmon for meal plan 2. On the exchange list it shows 4oz of smoked salmon as a fatty protein and 6 egg whites as lean protein both containing 25 grams of protein. Was wondering if I could get help with this combo. It seems I have one whole egg cooked but maybe should have did 2 whole eggs with my 1 oz of salmon and then still added more protein…. Like 1 ox of smoked salmon would be 8.5 grams of protein and then would need 4 egg whites and some fat?
Honestly because it’s a recipe it makes it hard to make modifications to the actual recipe. The thing I would advise would be to use the exchanges for that meal which are F,SC,LP
So you could.
2 slices of Ezekiel bread
2 whole eggs which would take the Fat exchange and 1/3 of the LP.
Choose whichever LP you want and do 2/3 of that serving.
That’s like the best I can do. The fact that it’s a recipe makes the swapping hard. That’s why I would always stick to the exchange items she puts for the meal. I’m sorry I can’t me more help. Short of you logging the entire meal to make it work, but we don’t suggest doing that. It can be a lot of work and leaves room for errors.You can put the pics up in the FB community. And you can ask any of the moderators to respond. It’s a pretty knowledgeable group.
That makes sense. Thank you!
You’re welcome
Okay thank you. I once heard to have your meal right after the workout and before cardio if chose to do cardio afterward.
I think having post strength is a good idea. Fuel those muscles right after. If that’s an option for you.
Hello
I’m sorry to say I did not see it in any of the grocery list or food exchange. Just trying to see what is suggested.
I’m asking for the waffle that says powdered sugar of your choice.
It’s lot listed because it doesn’t tend to be something we put on the exchange list. It’s just part of this recipe.
Meal 5 is my go to breakfast when I work, it is easy to eat and filling. It’s a grab and go for me. does it matter the order of the meals?
Meal five is meant to be eaten post strength, training, and the days you don’t strength train you can eat it whenever you want. Meal five doesn’t really contain much fat at all if you want to eat a meal that is similar to this use the exchange list on one of the other meals meals one through four and you can basically create the exact same thing and it would include fat because you use the exchange list and picked something out. Does that make sense?
Hello
Question about the N Power High-performance Pre workout and premium fat burner
N Power High-performance Pre workout Says drink 30-45 mins before workouts
N Power premium fat burner says for best results consume before exercise.
I have both from my last challenge June 2024.
How do u suggest I use these? Both in 1 day or not? Fat burner 2 hours before workout and premium-workout 45 mins before?
Just checking what is suggested.
Would use the pre-workout like it says before You exercise. I look at the fat burner is more like an energy drink. If I already drink coffee in the morning, I don’t use a fat burner in the morning as well sometimes I might use it at like 2 o’clock in the afternoon because I need a little push to get through my workout. I suggest not using the fat burner after 3 o’clock because you might disrupt your sleeping because of the caffeine. I would use the pre-workout on the days that you strength train and I would use the fat burner when you feel like you need it.
Download the latest eBook. The recipe is on Page 80.
Thanks Venise
Hi there. On the bottom of the video to the right you will see the gear icon. To the right of that are 3 lines. Click that and it will show “chapter” which will list the exercises and you can click and go right to the exercise.
Hello
There are many different chipotle seasonings. Any suggestions?
Choose a brand you feel comfortable using. I’m sure there are a lot of good ones out there
Hello
I had this problem in the past challenges. I haven’t been able to find nonfat cottage cheese. Closest I can find is 1%.
Just go with it and depending on how much fat just decrease the serving a bit with the other fat in the meal. Don’t stress about it.
I’m not sure what’s in your cart and their macros. But can you see if that meal with your selection will hit the macros goal for the meal?
Will we still have access to the mindset videos after the challenge? I joined late and want to make sure I watch them all.
Yes, the links will still work post challenge.
I think there is a problem because the hip is only showing outer thigh. The inner thigh/groin is not shown in the video. Would you please check on this to be certain?
It looks like it is the same video as TFL video. Thank you. I let them know.
I just want to say Thank you so much for deciding to film the workouts. I have bought a bunch of challenges in the past because I love them but at the same time, I often found it cumbersome because I am not familiar with the “lingo” and almost always had to look the move up. This had me quitting and going back to beachbody because it was “easier” to just “press play”. Nicole, you are such an inspiration and being able to work out alongside of you actually pushes me to dust off those heavier weights and go for it!!! Love this challenge and love the Mindset piece as well. Keep doing what you are doing!!
That’s such great feedback..I already passed this along to Nicole. Thank you for joining us!
