I portioned my food for tomorrow and still have a ton of containers to use left anyone else have that problem?
How is the calorie count? And did you include snacks? I haven't had that problem, I seem to use up the protein count before dinner, need to incorporate more veggies into my day instead, but then my calories are too low. Pinterest is a great source for ideas for 21DF too!
Thanks for the tips!! I'm gonna check out Pinterest. Yesterday I reached my calories but went over on my carbs. Carbs are always my problem area.0 -

Here are some 1800-2099 meal plans SWEETIEBRI. If there is something you don't like you can always exchange it out for something of the same color. My dinner is always 1 Green, 1 Red and 1 Yellow...sometimes I add a blue to it. Do you drink Shakeology?

Does everyone have the book to see what's approved?

I love Shakeology!! It's so expensive tho:) I wish I could afford it. I do have the book and that's what I use when planning my meals. I'm having trouble tho. If I reach my caloric goal, I tend to go over on carbs. When I don't reach my caloric goal, my carbs are within range. Any suggestions Lindsay??? Btw...thanks for the meal plans.0

SweetieBri just go by what the program tells you. Don't worry about your calories. You figured out the range you should be in s
o go by the amount of containers you need in each group.0 -
I had lean steak, a red potato, green beans and asparagus for dinner. (1 Red, 1 Yellow 1 Green and some olive oil) So good! What did everyone else have?

Thanks Lindsay!! Ok. I was focusing on the calories.
I had tilapia, spinach and wheat bread with 1/4 c of cocktail sauce. Didn't know where the cocktail sauce fit (I think thats 2 green, 1 red and 1 yellow). 0 -
I started the 21 day fix. I am not a big meat eater and prefer to have animal protein( meat fish and eggs) in only 2 meals. Can I substitute the other two with lentils and beans? I am allowed 4 red containers.0

I am seriously thinking about this plan. It seems so intimidating!!0

The lentils and beans are carbs, what about yogurt...or shakeology?,Do you have book with the approved foods?0 -

This is not intimidating at all. Its actually one of the easiest plans I followed. My husband started with me a week ago and lost 10 lbs already. He was unsure at first and now he plans His meals on his own. I can help you out if you like.0 -

Awesome!! Will try this. Thank you.0 -
To be honest, shakeology or any protein shake is on something I want to have now. I only want nutrition from food at this point. I would go for it, when I want to bulk up. Yogurt is something I am considering switching to. I guess if I want real good results I have to stick to animal protein.

One more thing is, the book says chicken breast in the allowed food section, but I buy a rotisserie chicken, what to do with the rest remaining parts like thighs and legs?0

Hi all, I am on day 16 of round one. I actually started back in July, DD had surgery and just now picked it back up. I really, really love it. I work full time, married, three young kids which my DH and I coach in alot of activities....it DOES take alot of planning. For me, that is absolutely the hardest part, to plan ahead. What I finally did is cook up a bunch of lean meats and froze them in serving sized freezer bags. Washed, cut and bagged veggies. Fortunately, my family is willing to eat pretty healthy, and I just add a few extras for them like hot rolls, or a sweet sometimes. As far as the workouts, it has to be early morning during the week which is hard for me as I am NOT a morning person, lol. All in all, I have tried to lose weight the last ten years back and forth, and this is the easiest program I have ever used as far as being able to stick with it.
I wondered if anyone is doing round 2, and if so, did you take a break between rounds?0 -
I find that preparing the foods makes it so much easier and I make better choices. This week my husband and I made a huge batch of Turkey Chili to have at lunch at work. Im not a morning person either so I do my workouts at night. I am actually do the hammer and chisel workouts....its a nice challenge

I wondered about Hammer and Chisel. How do they compare to fix? Getting ready to do lower body, after watching the 21 day fix infomercial to get inspired, lol!0

It's definitely harder than the fix. I feel its harder than Body Beast. You use heavy weights but it's mixed with cardio. Kicks your butt!0 -

Just dropping in to say hello! I started the fix on Dec 28. Looking for some fix buddies to add to keep me motivated! So far so good.0
