Hi question on macros for meal one.
I ran out of turkey sausage for egg cups so I sub for Turkey bacon. I know I’m off on fats..but my question is on carbs.
40 grams of dry oatmeal and 1 oz of raisins total carbs 51. Can this be right?

That looks right to me, yes.

1/2 c oatmeal = about 27g carbs
1 oz. seedless raisins = about 22g carbs

Totals = 49g carbs + trace amounts of carbs in spinach

What size pickle should it be with egg sandwich? Lrg dill? Baby dill! Spear? Thanks!

Hey there- pickles have very little calories, so use your best judgement based on how much pick flavor you enjoy. Anywhere between a baby dill or large dill or a few spears is fine 😉

Hi!! The macros come out different for this meal for me on MFP. Help! I’m using the same measurement and the balls are right on, but the rest is off by 100 calories.

Hey Jennifer- I have no idea what you are entering in for it to come out 100 calories off. Can you upload a screen shot of what you have in MFP please so that we can help you?

Is it real bacon on the FP list REAL BACON jus want to Make sure

Correct. Real bacon, not turkey bacon or any other kind of bacon. Just good old fashion pork bacon.

I have a question about the HIIT component of the 60-Day Challenge. I’m wondering if, outside of having adequate recovery, there is a distinct reason for having the resistance workouts grouped with the HIIT on the same days? At times, I may be too busy to do both in a day, and maybe do the HIIT the following day. What would be compromised if that’s the case? Also, isn’t it better to send a muscle building signal to the body and not inundate it with HIIT in the same time frame? Thanks so much for your input!

Hey there- Nicole put this program together based on years of knowledge and experience, and while there are a number of different ways of putting together a fitness program that includes various techniques for muscle building and maintaining lean muscle, this is merely just ONE of MANY ways to get there. In all of Nicole’s challenges, she has incorporated multiple ways of attaining a specific goal, and she teaches that there are a lot of myths and misconceptions with nutrition, cardio and weight-lifting tactics.

In this particular challenge, you’ll see that you CAN incorporate something like HIIT, sprints and other high intensity cardio while also building muscle (debunking the myth that you can’t build muscle, or may have a hard time building muscle while incorporating this type of cardio).

My recommendation is to follow the plan as Nicole has it laid out, trust her expertise, wisdom and guidance and trust the process.

You can change the program however you want to or however you see fit, that is up to you. But I recommend following the program how Nicole has it for best results. Good luck! 🙂

Is it ok to do a cardio session same day as Legs/Calves day? Would it work to put some recovery time between the two such as lifting in the morning and cardio that afternoon?

If you’re going to do cardio and strength training in the same day and separate them (morning/afternoon) it is fine to do that, even on the same day as leg day, but it is recommended that you do cardio in the morning, then lifting later in the day.

Hi there..

I am using Atlantic salmon and its way higher in calories, should I sub for something else? If I use it I’m over 105 calories and over in fat by 13g eek! Wild caught is very scarce here in Australia it seems and where I live cannot get it at all..
I love salmon 🙁 What should I do?
Leanne

Hi Leanne- I have no idea how to calculate your Atlantic Salmon in with all the other meals you are selecting to eat. My best advice is to make sure you’re logging everything into MFP so that you can calculate what you need to take out and where, and what your portion size needs to be of the salmon so that you make sure you’re on target with your calories and macros.

Good luck!

Hi,

Meal plan1 has cheddar cheese as a F.

Cheese should be considered a dairy.

I’m wondering if I should cut back some fat or carb grams. I have followers the plan, have done the workouts but after five full days eating I have gained weight. It was .1 or .2 each day

It has only been five days and your body is adjusting. It hasn’t been long enough for you to know how your body needs to change in order to know if the program is working or not, as there could be a number of other factors at play: sleep, stress, your cycle, etc. Just because you gained weight over the first five days don’t mean you’ll continue to gain weight sticking to this program 😉

I wouldn’t change anything, and just trust the process.

I think this may be obvious but…if we have a rest day we do not eat the post work out meal…right?

Please read the meal plan. It tells you what to do with your post workout meal on rest days right in the meal plan under the post-workout meal.

I don’t know where you live, what grocery stores you have or what brands you have access to, but just a normal sized gluten-free tortilla will be fine 🙂

Is it normal to be feeling really tired and really hungry. I’ve been sticking to the plan 100% yesterday I felt super fatigued and today I woke up the same. No energy.

Yep, it is totally normal to feel this way the first week or so of a new fitness program. It means you’re killing your workouts, so great job! Your body should adjust soon and your energy and strength should increase. Great job! 🙂

Hi! I’m currently doing the challenge and my doctor just recently told me that I have adrenal gland issues and now I’m on over the counter supplements. Do you think this will affect my weight loss??

Thanks

I have no idea what supplements you’re taking, or what specific issues are going on with you adrenal glands to tell you if it might affect your weight loss or not. Did you ask your doctor if there might be any side affects from the supplements or if the adrenal issues might prevent you from losing weight? That would be a good thing to discuss with your doctor since your doctor knows more specifics about your issues, and he is medically authorized to discuss any side affects, whereas we are not.

All that being said, I am sure that participating in this challenge won’t hurt with any weight loss goals. If anything, working out regularly and eating healthy should help minimize your adrenal gland health issues 🙂

You’ve got this! Good luck with the challenge!

Nicole recommends taking 5-10g glutamine after workout and before bed…..My workout schedule is usually 2 hrs before bed is it ok to take it so close together?

Hey there- yep, that is no problem at all! I would recommend just taking 5g per serving since they are so close together 🙂

Hello, I saw the discussion today on the Facebook page about all the meals on the plans having the same macros other than the 5th meal so I was wondering if I could have meal 2 Option 2 as my meal 3? I’m on meal plan 3 and would love the chicken wrap as my lunch meal.

Absolutely, yes you can! Enjoy! 🙂

Whoa! I had a significant hypoglycemic episode at 845 this morning. I am on Meal Plan 3 so for breakfast I had 6oz of sweet potato and 1 egg muffin at 745am. At about 845am I started sweating profusely, became slightly nauseous, and shaky all over. I tried to push through but just kept getting worse so I went to the cafeteria at work and got a bowl of oatmeal with Splenda, cinnamon, and a few raisins. Within 15 minutes of finishing the bowl I started to feel a bit better. Is my body adjusting to the diet or should I be adding something extra to my meal? I definitely tend to have hypoglycemic episodes on rare occasions. This one was significant!

If you have a medical condition such as hypoglycemia, you need to consult with your doctor about starting a new meal plan. We are not medical professionals and it is out of our scope of practice to advise you nutritionally regarding anything medical. Please take the meal plan in to discuss it with your doctor and describe the symptoms you experienced so that he/she can best advise you on what might be going on and how to proceed.

Hi team 🙂

I am in Australia so I can’t get NPower Nutrition Supplements :(.
I got all my supplements including glutamine.
The label reads 100% glutamine, no added sugar, gmo or fat.
However the nutrition label reads protein – 5g per serving (serving size 5g)
So if I take 20g of glutamine per day, does that mean that I am intaking 80 calories???
I’ve stuck with 10g per day 5g post workout 5g before bed.
So my main question is: ARE THEY CALORIES IN GLUTAMINE???

Many thanks

Hey there – no, there are no calories in glutamine. The 5g is grams in the serving size of glutamine is the amount of GLUTAMINE in each serving, not calories.
