Yes I’m comfortable there
Then there is no need to change anything.
I need to order some more supplements but cannot find the discount code for this challenge. Could you please send that to me.

I have a nutrition question I’m not sure what plan to stick to I’m disabled so I have limitations on my workouts so should I stay with phase one or go to phase two thank you
Are you happy with the results you’ve been getting from Phase 1 nutrition plan?
Good morning I am wondering what vegan protein powder you used to get the macros for the women’s vegan meal plan. I have three different types of vegan protein powder and all of them have fat yet I see on the macro breakdown totals yours has zero fat. I’m wondering what brand you use so that I can investigate that brand. thank you.
Hi there-
I am not sure what brand Nicole used to calculate, but as long as it has 3g or less of fat per serving, you can use it. Nicole’s meal plans give a little wiggle room between 3-5g of your target goal macro. You can also do a search on Google or ChatGPT for the lowest fat vegan protein powders options and should come up with several, some even with zero fat per serving 🙂
I’ve been pretty consistent with my nutrition and planned to stay with the macros from phase 1 – I’ve been seeing results that I want! However, the Week 4 level up option is to drop a carb and fat from your meal plan…Does that mean drop it from the way the meal plan is written for phase 2 or for phase 1? I feel like the level up this week contradicts increasing the carbs in the meal plan for stronger lifts?
This is optional, depending on your goals. If you want to keep it the same because you are seeing the results you want to see based on your specific goals for this challenge, then I wouldn’t drop anything from your meal plan.
Maybe this has already been explained… but why do the carbs and calories go up for the last three weeks of challenge? I trust the plan, just wondering the science behind it all.
I will reach out to Nicole and let her answer since she created the program 😊
Hello, I’m planning for next week. I’m looking for a broad jump swap that won’t aggravate prolapse. I was able to modify phase 1 with minimal irratation. If there is a way to get off a weight bench without crunching up that would be great as well, even with pelvic floor breathing it was irritating the prolapse trying to crunch up. Thanks, and it’s great to be back:)
Hey there- can you do a jump squat, or minimal range jump squat in place of a broad jump?
The only way I can think of for you to get off a weight bench without crunching up is if you have a pole or bar to assist you in getting up. Without something or someone to assist you in the upward movement, you are at the mercy of your core in the upward movement of getting off a bench.
The video still is not showing for the chest supported rows. I just need to know is it neutral grip?

I have a weird question. How many teaspoons or tablespoons is one serving of Nicole’s collagen? I’m on a trip visiting my mom, and forgot a scoop for the collagen I brought.
We measure by weight, not measuring spoons because measuring with measuring spoons can vary depending on if it’s a powder, liquid or solid. One scoop is 13 grams 👍
Wow! I can’t complete the entire workout but did my best today. I have a question should I follow the exact order of the exercises? I was struggling with doing the superset of seated close grip and cable hammer curl. I lost time changing the position (up/down) of the machine
and feel like I lost track of superset, also. Sometimes I also forget that I’m doing supersets, and just continue the whole set of only one exercise, does this make an important difference ?
Thank youIt would be best to keep the workouts the way they are if you can, it does make a difference. Great job! 👏
After my first gym exercises (day 1 push, shoulders, abs) the next day (today Wednesday!just do some cardio (active rest) and tomorrow (Thursday) try to do push pull workout, I hope I can complete it all because I still feel soreness from yesterday. I didn’t have much experience using rolls, other alternatives ?
Make sure you drink plenty of water! Your body will adapt as your strength and exercise endurance increases 💪😉
Hello ! I’m trying to follow the meal plans and recipes but I’m still struggle with hungry, especially at night before bed. I would like some advised about what to eat or drink (maybe some tea) or what you do. Sometime I can’t fall asleep easy and I just go to the kitchen to eat something. I want get rid of this bad habit? Maybe eat vegetables?
If you can, try timing your meals differently so that your last meal is a little later in the day so you don’t go to bed hungry. Or you might need to go up a meal plan if this type of hunger lasts longer than 2 weeks. The hunger might subside after your body gets used to to the new program 🙂

I will let tech support know! Thank you ☺️
Serving size is 2 protein balls, men’s meal plan shows 1 1/3 servings (4 protein balls). Is this correct? Wondering why it doesn’t show 2 servings.
I see what you’re saying, let me reach out to Nicole z& find out
I got clarification and the servings should be 3 protein balls, not 4 👍
How do we get on the live call tonight? I didn’t see an email.
The email w/ link to call went out yesterday with the weekly Level Up and another email will go out today 🙂
Hi!
Is there a recommendation for how many steps we should get for non-cardio days or all days in general? My plan is to continue to aim for 8 to 10,000 steps per day every day
Thank you
RebeccaThat is a great goal but there is no required amount since some people are starting from 2,000-5,000 steps. Just increasing from where you are now is a good goal ☺️

Hello! Verifying the ingredients is correct, specially the protein powder (as that seems much higher than normal). I ask because I mixed it all and it is very dry, not able to roll any balls. If recipe amounts are correct, recommendation on what to add to make them rollable?
The recipe is correct. You can try adding a little water if it seems too dry and see if that helps.
Super excited to do this challenge! It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Nicole Wilkins challenge and I’m ready! I’ve always loved them in the past. My question is on fiber. Ever since I hit menopause, I’ve been reading about the importance of getting enough fiber. And I’m wondering if you can provide the fiber count for the meal plans, I’m specifically asking for the vegan meal plans. Thank you in advance.
In the vegan plan specifically if followed the diet as written the base diet meal plan one is 34 g of fiber and then each meal plan goes up from there about 5 g
Can I have Canadian bacon instead of turkey bacon.
Yes, they are pretty similar in calories & macros 🙂
I know we are supposed to go with height for the meal plans but what if we are in between?
Im shrinking a bit with age so I’m around 5’7 1/2.
Do I choose meal plan 3 or 4?
I’m afraid to choose too many calories but don’t want to short change myself either.
I will add that I’m at the “top end “of weight. Lol
Thank you!I would start with 4 and see how that goes for 1-2 weeks, then if you feel you need to bump down to 3 after a few weeks you can do that. Best of luck with the challenge 🙂
What are the cons of adding more intense cardio sessions occasionally (zone 3 or 4), if any?
You can structure the cardio however you want to, as long as it adds up to 90 min per week total. It’s up to you 😭
Will we have access to the follow along workout videos after the challenge ends?
Yes 😊
I would like to place an order, and I cannot find the discount code for the challenge. Please help

Hi. I was in vacation last week and missed week 3. I tried to make good choices for my nutrition but was not following the program daily. I also only got one workout in (and lots of walking).
For this week, should I do week 3 or move on to week 4 with the program?I would just move on to be current with week 4 otherwise you’ll be behind the rest of the challenge.
and feel like I lost track of superset, also. Sometimes I also forget that I’m doing supersets, and just continue the whole set of only one exercise, does this make an important difference ?
