I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to be two teaspoons of olive oil. If you look at the macro breakdown, each meal in this phase is supposed to have about 11g of fat, but 2 tablespoons would be 28g of fat!! Pretty big difference! However, 2 teaspoons is only about 9g of fat, which is a lot closer to the macro breakdown given for each meal. Plus if you look at the other meal options, most of them go down in fat (less avocado in the salad, less nut butter with the yogurt, less pecans with the fish tacos, etc) yet this meal would have you double the fat from before? Doesn’t make sense. I would go with two teaspoons to be safe.
Yeah, I wonder if it’s supposed to be 2 TEAspooons and not tablespoons. Two tablespoons of olive oil would yield 28g of fat, and each meal is only supposed to have 11g of fat (plus or minus 5g, not 17g!). Two teaspoons of oil is about 9g of fat, so that makes much more sense.
I cook the potatoes and oil together, and then I cook the eggs and spinach together in a separate pan. Just my personal preference! You can cook it all however you want as long as you aren’t adding extras that could alter the macros! 🙂
Do steps ups for one leg, step ups for the other leg, then barbell good mornings. Repeat all of that 2 more times 🙂
My gym doesn’t have that machine either, so I’ve been using a cable with the ankle attachment to do the adduction/abduction movements. You can only do one leg at a time though, so it takes twice as long ? but thankfully its only for 2 warm up sets so it’s not too bad!
I also used frozen blueberries, and a little bit of stevia. I prefer peanut butter over almond butter, and since their macro profile is the same, I didn’t feel guilty at all about making the swap.
I honestly wouldn’t fret too much about it. I would just measure it raw in however form you like (cubed, shredded, noodles, etc) then cook it. One cup of raw zucchini is only 19 calories, so if you’re off by a few grams here or there it’s really not going to sabotage anything. You’re measurements would have to be off by several cups to have a significant effect! I personally like to cube it and sautee it with a spritz of cooking spray! (With maybe a couple different spices)
When you submitted your initial measurements and photos, you should have gotten a confirmation email that will have everything you submitted 🙂 check your junk/spam folder if you can’t find it!
According to the calendar, the 60th day is Thursday March 8th. So should we just continue to do the next workout for Friday March 9th (the 61st day?) or make it a rest day? Or does it really matter? Haha
I actually found reduced fat blue cheese, but after eating it so many days in a row I couldn’t stand it anymore. I found mozzarella that had almost the exact same nutrition profile… I think maybe it had 0.5 grams more of fat but that was it.
My understanding is you can schedule the rest days how you want, just keep the workouts in the same order. Because of my schedule this past week, I had to have my rest days similar to yours and had the lower body workouts that close together. I seemed to do Ok! It’s probably fine for one week! Good luck! 🙂
My favorite so far is the wrap! I put it in the toaster oven and it was ? At some point, I’m going to try cutting up the tortilla into triangles and toast them, and make this meal into “nachos” ? I’ve been known to have many food fails so we’ll see how that turns out! ?
You’re welcome!! I only knew where it was because I just happened to walk by it a few weeks ago, and I thought “I need to remember this!” Haha. Otherwise I probably would have looked in the refrigerated section too!
Hey I’m in Michigan too! I found it in Meijer in the baking needs aisle. Or maybe it was by all of the oils. Try either of those aisles (depending on how your store is set up, could be different. If you have the Meijer app on your phone, it will hopefully tell you the exact location for your store).
One thing I’ve done for HIIT in the past is taking a deck of playing cards and assigning each suit an exercise. For example, hearts are jumping lunges, diamonds are squat jumps, spades are squat thrusts, and clubs are mountain climbers. Take the deck and shuffle it up, then place it face down. Draw one card at a time, and whatever number you draw for that suit is the number of reps you do for that exercise. For example, if you draw a 9 of hearts, you do 9 jumping lunges. Continue drawing one card at a time until you get through the whole deck, trying not to take any breaks. I sometimes add the two jokers to the deck and make them “bonus” exercises (like 25 jumping jacks). It sounds like it might be easy but it’s actually pretty tough, really gets your heart pumping!! It keeps things interesting too! Definitely pick whatever cardio exercises you want to do for each suit, I was just giving an example of what I’ve done in the past 🙂
Hey guys! For those that live in a region with Meijer, the Meijer Brand “sweet marinara” appears to be a good option. Don’t be fooled by the name, there is no added sugar according to the ingredients! I took a picture when I compared it side by side to the Classico Riserva brand, very similar nutrition profile but the Meijer Brand is pretty inexpensive!
I just made some red potato chips in my hairdryer the other day and they were amazing!
