Hey,

Congrats!!! You will love the workouts and the results especially. I can't help with the meal plan because I am not following the P90X one, but kind of do my own thing. I am sure others will contribute and give their thoughts shortly. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Here's a sample day -

EAS 100% whey powder - 2 scoops with 1 c milk
pure protein bar snack
lunch - egg salad (1 piece bread), chicken salad low carb wrap, or low carb quesadilla
snack - another protein bar
supper - some kind of meat with either rice, potatoes or bread (if we need a carb) and a veg.
I'm usually done after that. If I'm still hungry I'll have fruit and/or another protein shake.

I snack on veggies or string cheese.

Here are some of the normal things I figured we could have:
tacos, chicken rice, hamburgers (lettuce wrapped), enchiladas (low carb tortillas), tortilla pizza (use a tortilla shell for crust and top as you would a pizza bake 10 min or so), pork tenderloin, scrambled eggs/ham, spaghetti (if we have carbs left)

I hope that helps. I just googled a lot of my favs recipes to have a low carb (for example - low carb enchiladas).

The other thing I did was custom set my goals to 50% protein, 30% carbs, adn 20% fat. I'm not alway within those guidelines, but I try

Thanks, I'll try that!

During the week I usually eat the same things. In the morning oatmeal or whole grain cereal with light vanilla soy milk (or skim milk), lowfat yogurt. Mid-morning steamed mixed veg, 1/2 cup applesauce. Afternoon, tuna on whole wheat bread. Maybe some chicken or fish with salad, almonds, protein shakes, smoothies, etc... It all depends on the type and intensity of the workouts, that will influence what and how much I eat. Listen to your body and keep it fueled with good food choices.

My breakfast meals usually consist of Egg Beaters egg whites (with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, spinach, etc), Morningstar veggie sausage, low sodium turkey bacon, whole wheat bagels/toast/waffles, cottage cheese, skim milk, oatmeal, lowfat cheese (for eggs) & protein shakes. Not all at once but mixed and matched.

Lunches are usually tuna, chicken breast, lean ham/turkey, whole wheat bread, carrots, apples, bananas, salads, protein shakes etc.

While dinners include ground lean turkey/beef, chicken breasts, lean Italian turkey sausage, salads, baked potato/sweet potato, mixed veggies, etc.

Snacks include protein shakes/bars, lowfat yogurt, unsalted cashews/almonds/soy nut, turkey/buffalo jerky...

Rarely, if ever, do I eat starchy carbs after 12pm.
