Hi Wendy- No, salmon has a very unique caloric and macro profile, so there isn’t another fish substitute for salmon. I would choose one of the other meal options 🙂 Good luck with the challenge!
Hey there- no, definitely use your rest days as total and complete rest days, unless you absolutely can’t get your cardio in and need to make it up on a rest day 😉
Hi Sandra- I did click on the image, it may just be coming up different on my computer. Rice will vary from brand-to-brand, and Nicole has taken that into consideration, so as long as you’re following the meal plan, you should be fine. You aren’t doing anything wrong 😉
Hey guys- I Ould use 4oz of chicken for this recipe. I know it says measure meats cooked, but in this case that would be really hard to do since you’re cooking the meats with the veggies, so measure out 3 x 4oz chck = 12oz and cook 🙂
I hope this helps! Good luck with the challenge 😀
Hi Christine- if you could email this question to [email protected] someone may be able to answer question about nPower Nutrition supplements and shipping out of the US there. This forum is more for Summer Shred Challenge specific questions 🙂
Hi Tracy- the calorie and macro profile for avocados is a bit unusual so there really isn’t a good replacement for avocado without throwing all your other macros off. I would choose any one of the other meals that don’t have avocado in it 🙂
Hi Claire- yes, you have more flexibility with the cardio. The main goal is to get your HR up so you can go for a run, or do the at-home bodyweight interval cardio as many times as you like 🙂
Hey there- the first exercises (adductor/abductor) are a superset but the squats, leg press and Bulgarian split squats are all just straight sets of that exercise. Then another superset of the step-ups and good mornings, then straight sets again with leg extensions and seated calf raises.
Anytime there is no indication of a superset, tri-set or giant set, it will just be straight sets of that one exercise for the indicated number of reps/sets 😉
Please make sure you read all of the information and watch the videos in the Nutrition Section (and all sections) so that you have all of the information and don’t miss anything! 🙂
Meats are measured cooked.
Hi Darla and Pamela- on workout days, you will have 4 meals plus post-workout meal = 5 meals total. On non-workout days you will omit the post-workout = 4 meals total on non-workout days, correct 😉
Dayna913- Nicole recommends timing your meals about 3 hours apart. You can call eating food a meal or a snack or whatever you prefer to call it. I find it best not to label things as breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacks, but more Meal 1, Meal 2, Meal 3, Meal 4 and so on, no matter what the portion size. I hope this makes sense 🙂
That looks fine, as Nicole recommends you try to eat every 2.5 – 3 hrs. Good job, and good luck with the Challenge 🙂
Hi Marc- salmon is not one of the fish high in mercury, so you should be safe eating multiple times per week.
Here is more info about fish highest/lowest in mercury if you’re concerned or curious: https://www.fitday.com/fitness-articles/nutrition/these-fish-are-the-highest-and-lowest-in-mercury.html
Good luck with the challenge 🙂
Hi there- you will need to email that question to [email protected]
Hi there- yes, absolutely! You can pick any meal options from any of the meals except the post-workout 😉
Hey there- you can drink the BCAAs without counting them in your meal plan, but don’t add any extra protein shakes other than what is on the meal plan. Good luck with the challenge! 🙂
Hey there- no, you won’t drink the protein other than post-workout. Follow the meal plan as it is outlined. If you add more protein shakes throughout the day, it will throw your calories and macros off. Only drink the protein shake if you are having it as outlined in the meal plan.
The BCAAs you can drink 2-3x’s throughout the day if you’d like to, but it’s not necessary.
