Is the cardio acceleration workout to be done fasted (Since fat loss is the goal) or eat a meal prior? – Thanks!
Not much change on the scale for me either…. only down 4 pounds total from day 1…. can be a little discouraging when you see others big numbers and changes… but… I’m too looking forward to phase 2 and trusting the process. Keep up the great work!
I think Sabre classic hummus best fits the macro profile for Fats. I’d say look for one that has 5g fat/serving. Just my observation tho? In shopping around for hummus
Women’s Meal Plan#2 – Meal #3: 3oz Chicken, 5 oz Sweet potato, Olive Oil (1/2 tbsp.) and Hummus (2oz)… per the total meal breakdown, each meal is 10g fat… is this set in stone amount as I’m finding it hard to stay at 10g of fat for this particular meal. the 1/2 tbsp. Olive oil (7g Fat) and 2oz hummus (10g Fat) combined is roughly 17grams of fat (or at least that is what I’m coming up with).. Should I be concerned that it’s over 10g of fat or as long as I’m within my daily range of 40grams of fat total am I good?
Morning lifting definitely takes time to get used to it… but I find that after working all day long… by 5:00pm I’m just physically and mentally exhausted and much more inclined to make an excuse not to workout. Good luck to all of you!! Morning or evening lifters?
I had to create an IG account just for challenge so I don’t have any posts (or followers yet… LOL!) but mine for this challenge is rachels_fitinsta
I also lift at 4:30am.. based on what Naomi replied on another thread, I plan to take 1/2 of meal #1 – for me that is going to be 1/2 scoop of whey isolate and 20 grams of carbs (for me I have a powdered carb source I add directly to my whey) and chug that when i get up. Then go train and sip on bcaa’s intra workout… then have my PWO meal after trainingg… then the other half of meal #1 3 hours later. Don’t know if that’s ideal or will work but that’s what I’m gonna try to do. Hopefully that will help someone else.?
So… I did some math… according to our PWO meal totals, we should be having 40grams of carbs… so I googled nutrition of apple with skin… using the following nutrition information… 125g of apple = 17grams carbohydrates… so we would need roughly 250 grams of apple…. that’s my calculations. Hope it helps
Wondering this also… wish it was listed in Grams or ounces. A large apple could be such a wide range and a wide range of Carbohydrates. ?
it seems like everyone is saying they are active members of the NW Site and the Challenge… must be a glitch or something that needs fixed
IF we do our workout early morning (4:30am early)…and we don’t really have time to wake up earlier to eat Meal#1 Prior – what do you recommend in that situation??
also wondering the same thing… I workout at 4:30am also (weights first then cardio).. don’t have time to sit down to meal# 1 and let it digest some. Should we eat something?? Or maybe sip on BCAA’s during workout then eat PWO meal after?
Hello! My name is Rachel and this is my first challenge! Very excited to start… curious if there are any others out there that are early morning workout people?? I am usually at the gym around 4:30am… but I’m really wondering how I’m going to do the meal timing based on this and the fact that I’m not really able to sit down for a solid meal prior to being in the gym at 4:30am! Anyone else in the same boat??
Yeah I am a member… so… my guess is maybe it’s just my phone or whatever… I can see all the information under the general chat forum
And the training… just not the Nutrition. Thanks for your help tho!!Under the challenge forum… the Nutrition link … I click it and I get this error:
I attached the photo- hopefully it shows up. Maybe it’s just me ?
