Should the burrito bowl recipe have 8oz of chicken total instead of 4oz since its 2 servings?
No, the recipe for the burrito bowl is correct and adds up to the totals reflected in the amount per serving.
I was wondering since Jasmine rice is in the exchange list can I sub it for the brown rice in the burrito bowl?
yep, you can use the exchange list for any of the foods in the meal plan or recipe ingredients.
Just wondering if we will be receiving the crusted cod recipe as it’s in the meal plan but there is no recipe given on how to make it!
Thank you!!
The Crusted Cod recipe is on page 80 of the ebook: https://nicolewilkins.com/images/2025/01/2025-MINDBODYBRKTHRU-Ebook-011224-links.pdf
Unless I missed something, there isn’t separate cardio after weights or on separate days, correct? It’s included with the workouts already, for example with the AMRAP, is that correct?
Correct, there is no additional cardio other than what is in the workouts.
Can I use as much balsamic vinegar on my meals as I like? What about the lemons, can I use that as much as I want too? No limits on these two items?
No limits, but I wouldn’t go overboard on the balsamic vinegar. Vinegar, especially balsamic vinegar, has 2-5g of sugar per 15ml so you can certainly easily overdo it.
Meal 2 shows 1/2 FR 14g of honey. If I’m reading it correctly, I can use 1/2 serving of raisins instead of honey?
Thatis correct.
For Meal Plan 3, if planning to eat the Chicken Burrito Bowl recipe, do we also add 50g of Brown rice to the existing rice that is listed in the recipe? Or are we suppose to be eating 50g of rice total?
Thank you!
Everything that you see listed out individually in the meal plan is what you will eat.
Hi, I like to prep food for 4 days at a time. Any suggestions on keeping the burrito bowl fresh? I was thinking of combining the chicken, beans and rice and then day of, adding the lettuce and pica de gallo & Greek yogurt. Is this a dish best served warm?
Your thoughts on combining the chicken, beans and rice and then day of, adding the lettuce and pico de Gallo, greek yogurt is a great idea. This dish served warm or cold is all personal preference 🙂
Hi
Do I count my collagen as my protein ?
Thanks
KathyYes, correct. If you look at the calories and macros of the collagen, it should count as 9g per scoop toward your protein.
Please confirm serving size on Thai Turkey Lettuce Wraps recipe? Recipe is listed as 3 servings but directions seem to indicate 2 – i.e., “lay out 4 butter lettuce leaves per serving” – Ingredients call for 8 large butter lettuce leaves.
I will reach out for clarification and let you know asap!
I’m a little confused on MEAL plan 3, meal 1, option 1
It says at the bottom that it contains 2 eggs whites and 1 whole egg.
The recipe calls for 1 egg, plus there’s an additional 3 eggs whites and 2 yolks.
Can I get clarification on that please?Correct, the entire meal consist of:
– 1 serving of Cinnamon Roll Protein waffles
– 3 egg whites
– 2 yolks
– 125g strawberriesIn meal plan 3…meal 2, option 2 is Salmon but it’s listed as LP. That should be a FP right?
While Salmon by itself is an FP, but the Avocado Toast Recipe totals are equal in an exchange to: one serving of fat, one serving of SC and one serving of LP.
I remember Nicole saying in the Qand A she did Jan 3 that the workout videos would be uploaded to YouTube instead of Vimeo. I see they are still Vimeo. Are they going to be on YouTube?
There was a snag with YouTube and copyright issues with the music Nicole had in the background, so we had to use Vime instead of YouTube.
The herb-crusted cod with quinoa pilaf recipe is missing!
Oh no! I will reach out to the team to get this taken care of and have the recipe added. Thank you!
In my after photo submission confirmation my photo comes up sideways. Is that okay?
Yes, we can rotate it.
It says in the rules to take the photo in the same spot but if you can’t take it in the same lighting. My photos are in the same spot but the lighting is different due to the fact of having a lot of windows and before was daytime, afters were at night. Is this going to be an issue?
It shouldn’t be an issue, but it just depends on how much of a difference the lighting is.
In the email with the after hashtag, the deadline is July 7th. Did we get an extra day added?
The confirmed deadline for submitting After photos and measurements is Sunday, July 7 at 9 pm PST.
I heard the tag for the challenge photos was sent out but I haven’t received an email. Yes, I checked my junk folder.
You’ll need to email [email protected] to find out why you haven’t received the email so that you don’t miss any more important challenge emails.
Hello, I am wondering about the privacy of the after photos. Are all ‘after photos’ that are submitted visible to everyone, or only the after photos of the winners?
The only photos that are posted publicly on social media are the challenge winner’s photos.
Thank you. So to be sure I understand I will do 1 set of 10-12 (warm-up), rest 45 sect, another set of 10-12 (warm-up), rest 45 seconds, then a set of 10-12, rest 45 seconds and repeat this two more times. Is this correct? Ty
Correct, rest for anywhere between 45-60 seconds depending on what you need to recover in between but yes that is correct.
Good Morning,
For the first exercise in the “at home dumbbell/body weight) on day 1 for example, when it says “reverse grip dumbbell row – 5 sets, 2X 10-12 (warm up), 3 X 10-12” can you explain when the rest period is for these 5 sets? I just want to be sure I am doing the rest time correctly.
Thank you,
SandyHey there- As stated in the workout at the top of the page, *rest 45-60 seconds between sets/supersets unless otherwise noted.
So you will rest for between 45 seconds to one minute between each set, including the two warm-up sets and the three working sets.
I keep seeing posts with much more fruit on the cheesecake than mine has. I just wanted to clarify the fruit amount. The recipe calls for 6 strawberries. I assumed split between the 6 servings. Am I doing it wrong? I don’t want to short myself strawberries 😂.
How much of the serving of fruit depends on what meal plan you are following.
Hi Naomi,
Thanks. So I was not given a list of what I can do, but rather what not to do. I was advised to avoid deep squatting and any exercises that cause pain. I have been able to do reverse lunges without any pain. So far the only road block I have run into are forward lunges. Hope this helps, please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks again,
JessicaOk great, that helps! Just stick with either reverse lunges or stationary lunges and don’t go full range of motion if it causes you pain or discomfort. Only go down as far as you are able to without pain 😉
Hi there,
Could you please provide an alternate for the dumbbell low hinge lunge?
I had knee surgery (meniscectomy) in February for a torn medial meniscus. I am still unable to do any type of forward lunge as it causes pain. Hopefully I’ll get back there down the road, but for now I would very much appreciate if you can provide an alternate exercise.
Thanks!
JessicaHi Jessica-
I would love to help you out. Can you please provide me with a list of lower body exercises your doctor or physical therapist has cleared you to be able to do? I don’t want to recommend any exercise alternatives that you haven’t been cleared to engage in yet. People tend to recover from surgeries at different rates and in different ways, so it is helpful to know what lower body exercises you are able to do at this point in your recovery before making any recommendations.
Thanks! 🙂
Hello,
For both men’s meal plans, the breakdown of F/SC/Veg etc. it shows is not correct for the cheesecake in meal 2, option 1. It says there are 2 servings of vegetables, but there are no veggies in the recipe. Can this be corrected?I will have Nicole take a look at this, thanks for letting us know!
