I suggest you look into some sort of power bar or meal replacement shake like Shakeology. Shakeology does cost but if you compare to a $5 subway sub a day shakeology is actually around $4 a serving and filling. Though in college I know money is usually tight. I tend to get protein plus power bars, bring sliced apples tossed in lemon juice, some mixed nuts and berries. Try a cup of yogurt, a bagel, and natural peanut butter. You should always eat a good breakfast before you leave the house!
Egg whites are one of the best clean foods for athletes. Great protein, no fat. Easy to hard boil a batch and keep them in the fridge for a few days, take them pretty much anywhere in a ziplock.
Oh, and coffee isn’t necessarily bad. 4-8oz a day is fine, many athletes and body builders drink coffee, just in low amounts. No sugar of course. And if you put in cream, just a teaspoon (about 20cals). 2% or skim milk would be even better.
I drink tons of coffee and you said that coffee is your only downfall. Is coffee bad for being on a nutrition/workout plan? Please reply and explain y? Thx…
Im sure the nut. plan and i know bill phillips book talks about making some of these meals in bulk that would equal out to 4-6 servings. I made tuna caserole the other day(4 servings). the other 3 went in the freezer. Maybe you need to make more meals in bulk…there are lots of options.
Try thinking “am i using my time most efficiently right now”.
Example: I get up about 2 hours before work each day…If i were going to cook myself chicken and a potato I would have to thaw the chicken out first in the micro. While thats going on im preheating the g forman. When the chicken is cooking on the forman Im cooking the potato in the micro. While this is going on im getting my low-fat sour cream pepper etc. You will get faster at this with time.
Taking things to work with you like an apple and 2 red. fat string cheeses would be one midmeal. A low-fat cottage cheese and fruit combo would be another. I always keep a small bag of natural almonds with me(12-24). Protien bars are another quickie. Protien shakes(buy a shaker throw the powder in add water).
I work 10 hr days 5-6 days a week..I know where you’re coming from! My advice would be to by bill phillips book “eating for life” for more meal ideas. He talks about regular meals and mid-meals with tons of variations. As long as you are getting breaks 2-3 hours throughout the day you should be able to start a similar diet. The hardest thing about it is the preparation. Read the nut. plan or the book and select things you like..go to the market with a list.
and how the hell u eat 5 to 6 meals a day if work a lot,cuz i work and iits hard to eat often thats why i keep quitting the p90x program i knoe isnt worth it to be killing myself and not eating like im soppesd to,any ideas???
HAHA!!! Thats hillarious im about to start p90x and i work at Red Robin lol im a busser but anyways yeah im about to start it and really dont know what to do with the meal plan but ill see through.
hey dude, i am getting ready to start the p90c program, last month i was 301lbs, and just recently had back surgery, my back is fine for the most part but any heavy impact jar’s it and causes slight discomfort and sometimes pain, so i have decided to diet, wich my plan is extremely similar to the one you describe in your video except turkey bacon instead of ham. i have been dieting and walking/jogging at night for about 2 weeks now and have lost 20 lbs. i went from about a 12pk of cokes a day
they say breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner. I’m wondering if the protein shake I drink after my workout in the morning counts as my first snack or if that is just something separate.
Thanks so much! I moved and lost my guides I’m sooooooooooooooooo upset about it. I can’t get it from beachbody cause they said I had to have the order, but I bought it on ebay so I don’t have that guy’s information….. This will at least help me.

To hell with the low fat! Eat good and do not eat Big macs or Fettucini Alfredo which they call heart attack on a plate!
the diet is good for u as it increase ur metabolism, but i do agree with u it is a hassle controlling ur diet like that

When you consume something within an hour after a heavy workout I would consider that your “recovery” drink and not even include that as a snack.
