Casie – that’s kind of what I initially thought too. The more I looked at it though the more I got confused because the sets are AMRAP – so I wasn’t sure if you do as many sets of those two 60 second exercises until you felt like you just couldn’t go on anymore?! 🤪
I chose the powerseed option since each slice had the fewest amount of carbs (at least compared to the other options at my store)
Check out page 42 of the ebook, first line of the 3rd paragraph. Looks like we are just supposed to fit at least 3 cardio sessions per week whenever we can fit it into our schedule.
Thanks Naomi! That is helpful. I might still throw in an occasional HIIT session because I like to challenge my sprint capabilities from time to time, but I am definitely ok with not having to do 3 HIIT sessions per week anymore 🙂
Take a look at meal 2 option 1 – one thing I like to do is use a little less fruit and add a little bit of sugar free cheesecake Jello pudding mix. I want to say 7 grams of pudding mix is about 5 carbs. So let’s say if it calls for 100 g of blueberries, I would instead use 80g of blueberries and then add in 7g of the pudding mix, and the macros should still be the same. It’s one way to get a cheesecake flavor fix if that’s what you’re looking for!
My link also brought me to Bulgarian split squat, so I re-downloaded the ebook in case it bad been updated and it did the same thing. This was for the week one optional gym workout.
I’ve been wondering if the recipe was supposed to be like it was but 3 TABLESPOONS of egg whites and just 1 serving, and just a few mini marshmallows (like 5 grams). And 1/4 graham cracker. If I add the macros up using the ingredients that way, the macros are 31g carbs, 28g protein, and 4g fat. That’s pretty close to the macros for the meals in my plan (women’s 2) so that’s how I’m going to try to make it; I’ll just add a little butter for fat and maybe a couple more marshmallows for the carbs, and omit the banana for that meal. 🤷♀️
Swap the oatmeal for roasted seasoned potatoes and make a breakfast skillet! I dice up redskin potatoes and season them with garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and hot sauce and roast them in the oven. They are great for breakfast bowls!
Yeah, there’s definitely something off about the recipe and/or the number of servings. I think it would make more sense if it was 1/2 scoop of isolate, then it would be 26 g protein, carbs still around 22 g… then it would be 1 serving? At least based on my meal plan (women’s 2).
I have a feeling that the recipe is one serving except you’re only supposed to use 1/4 of a graham cracker per serving, and maybe like 3-4 mini marshmallows.
I was just looking at the recipe and came here to ask for confirmation on the number of servings. I’m 99% sure 4 servings is a typo and that recipe is actually one entire serving…
Skim milk has more carbs than almond milk (12 grams in skim milk vs 1g in almond milk), so you’ll have to adjust your macros accordingly.
OC = optional condiment. So you can use the almond milk if you’d like or you can omit it. One cup of unsweetened almond milk has 30 total calories, so you’re probably fine to use either one cup or a half cup. Hope this helps!
Ok great! I was just going by the monthly calendar that says we can upload our photos starting the 25th, but if the rules state it will begin on the 24th then that’s even better! 😊
Sounds good! I don’t mind doing non-HIIT cardio on leg days, but since I usually do sprints for HIIT I’ll probably move it to another day 😊
In the product description it talks about helping with appetite control and cravings, which I noticed when I was using it during PSR. Maybe I chose suppressant as the wrong word… but if it’s going to counteract muscle building then I won’t use it for now.
Forgot to attach screen shot!
Any all natural brand is fine. Look for the ingredients to just be 100% peanuts. I personally like Smuckers natural PB because it has a LITTLE bit of salt and makes some recipes more flavorful in my opinion.
I have days that I have to be at work at 7, so I’m up at 5 am and can’t get my workout in until the evening. I personally don’t like going to bed hungry, so I wait a few hours before eating my first meal so that I’m not done with all my food by 5pm. My early day schedule is something like this:
5 am – wake up
9 am – Meal 1
12:30 pm – Meal 2
4 pm – Meal 3
5:30 pm – Workout and post workout meal (meal 4)
9 pm – Meal 5Hope that helps! Of course it’s up to your personal preference when you get the meals in. Just make sure to eat all 5 meals and your post workout meal immediately after your workout!
