Yes, you can switch workout days if you need to due to your schedule but keep the high carb/low cab days the same regardless of how you switch your workouts 😉
Hi Dominique- I would either purchase a different protein with only 1-4g of carbs, or if you’d rather use the protein you already purchased, just take out about 10g of carbs somewhere else in your meals (such as decreasing the portion size of sweet potato, rice or oatmeal, etc.) so that you don’t go over on your carbs.
As always, make sure you are logging all of your meals so that you can stay within the given macro ranges. It sounds like you had an eye-opening moment regarding reading ingredients 😉 You’ll do great! Good luck!! 😀
Hi Meagan- I’m not sure I understand your question. The exact macros for both high carb and low carb days are laid out for you in your chosen meal plan based on your height in the nutrition section of the program here.
Chose meal plan 1, 2 or 3 then download the high carb day meal plan and the low carb day meal plan.
Hi Ashley- follow the meal plan as-is regardless of how you need to rearrange your workouts. The carb cycle days are timed the way they are during the week for best results 😉
Hi Melissa- you are not being a pest, no worries! Unfortunately I cannot help you with this issue, as this is a technical issue that can only be resolved by the tech dept.

Hi Debby- the email you got on Oct 7 was the deadline for actually entering the challenge, not uploading the before photos.
Here are the 40 Day Buns And Guns Challenge Rules and FAQ which covers questions about photo submissions, deadlines, etc 😉
The entry period for submitting “Before” information will begin on October 4, 2017 at 12 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) and end on October 10 at 9 pm EST.
Upon completion of The Challenge, the period for submitting “After” information will begin on November 18, 2017 at 12 pm EST and end on November 21 at 9 pm EST.Hi Donna- please email your issues to our tech department so they can troubleshoot and resolve this for you at: [email protected]
Hi Elba- if you are able to, prepare a protein shake (for short shifts, just one scoop of protein, for longer shifts, do two scoops of protein) and if you need to add carbs to the shake as more of a full “meal replacement” then you can add 1 packet of oatmeal to your shake or 1 TBSP (14g) of oat flour or some kind of carb. This should get you through your shifts so you aren’t going 4-6 hours without anything in your system.
I was a waitress in college and we did get a 5-10 min “potty” break during our shift. Your situation may be different but if you do have even just 5 minutes than you can drink at least half your shake at this time to get you through, then sip on it as you are able to throughout your shift.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
HI Yvonne- all the links should be working/printable now, but if you still aren’t able to print then send an email explaining your issues to: [email protected]
Hey there- unless it is indicated, you don’t have to do drop sets or pyramids. These are just techniques you can use to be able to push yourself with a higher weight/intensity. Good luck! 😀
Hi Angel- the info for the weekly prizes in in the Program Overview. Please also read the Challenge Rules and FAQ for more info.
If you aren’t sure if your photos uploaded, please email [email protected] and someone can check to make sure they have been uploaded.
Hi Jennifer- make sure you read through and watch all of the material for this challenge so that you have all of the info you need 🙂
Detailed information for the nutrition portion is explained here. You’ll eat roughly every 3 hours after waking, which could be anywhere between 2.5 – 4 hrs. 4 hours is pushing it a bit, so try as much as possible to stay close to the 3 hour mark. Good luck! 😀
Hi Vicki- I would recommend following the next meal plan up and see how your body responds to that. Good luck! 🙂
Hi Shawna- sorry about that, we are working on this. In the meantime, here are the food exchange links:
Hey guys- all the link issues will be resolved soon but in the meantime here are the links to the workouts for Phase 1:
Hi Nicole- I apologize, here is the link for Interval 2 🙂
Hi Kathy- that is fine as long as you keep your HR between 140-150 BPM, although running tends to be more of a steady state than interval training, unless your running route has rolling hills which would definitely give you some intervals of intensity 🙂
Hey there- ideally, rest days should be complete rest. Recovery is a big part of body transformations and progress. In order to get the best results from this challenge, I would advise following the program as closely as possible the way it is laid out. Good luck!
Hi Amy-
Here are the direct links, hopefully these will work. If not, please email our tech dept at [email protected]:
