    Make sure you read all of the information in the Nutrition section (and every section) of the program so that you don’t miss any important information 😉 It explains the following:

    “Every meal in your nutrition plan has the same total calories and macronutrients (protein, carbohydrates and fat). Since you have three options for every meal, you can essentially swap out any meal on this plan for any other! The one exception here is your post-workout meal, which you should only eat on weight-training days. When you don’t weight train, don’t eat it. This meal should always be taken within 30-45 minutes of your weigh-training workout.”

    Goo luck with the challenge 🙂

    Hi April- you body will adjust 😉 … it’s your first day, so give it time and trust the process.

    Good luck with the challenge!

    Hi Amanda- Follow Nicole’s suggestion above with the meal times, however depending on what time you workout, you will follow the post-workout meal instructions as stated under the Post Workout meal in the meal plan:

    “Eat this within 30-45 minutes after your weight training workout and adjust the meals accordingly”

    Hi- it sounds like you really won’t have what you need to do the workouts as outlined in either the gym or home workouts with the limited access to equipment you will have, so I would suggest starting the entire challenge as soon as you are able to do all or most of he workouts in the program. Otherwise, you really aren’t doing the program but a very, very modified version of it 😉

    As far as nutrition goes, I would recommend continuing to do what you have been doing and start the PS nutrition plan with Phase 1 as you start the Phase 1 workouts.

    Have fun on the boat and please let us know if you have any other questions when you start the PS Challenge! 😀

    Hi Krystal- the only other options if you don’t want to eat the raisins is to choose one of the other meals o the meal plan that doesn’t contain the raisins 😉

    Since you are 5’6.5 go with the height over 5’6 meal option 🙂

    Hey there- Cheerios or rice cakes is not a replacement for an apple. An apple is faster absorbing and the macro profile is different, it isn’t just based on the amount of carbs.

    If you don’t want to eat an apple, my best recommendation is to choose one of the other two meal options for post workout 😉

    Hey there- 1c = 84g so 2 cups is about 170g

    Hi tracy- yes, that’s correct! 🙂

    Hi there- either plain Cheerios or Multi Grain. Try to avoid any of the flavored Cheerios, as this will add sugars, carbs & calories 😉

    Hi Brenda- since it’s geared more toward cardio, try to do them with a lighter weight (not too light, it should still be challenging) but a weight that you can keep the movement going at a relatively faster pace. The movement shouldn’t be slow 🙂

    Hi Carrie- I don’t know of any equivalent, unless you can find another brand of “meat-free” chicken strips. What have you been eating with the Romaine tacos up to this point?

    Hi Cassie- I don’t personally know any tricks for measurement conversions but I just googled “food measurement conversions” and a bunch of things came up! You could also google “how many cups is 75g of brown rice” etc.

    Good luck 🙂
