Welcome to the CFWL Nutrition Challenge! Here you’ll find details of the challenge and get points for interacting and posting within the community.

Here is the breakdown for how to score points for your team throughout the challenge.

First task is to join this community and tell us what about the Nutrition Challenge motivates you! You’ll score your team a point by posting your #motivationmessage to this discussion board.

Daily logging of protein in MFP will get you one point—up to one point per person per team will be up for grabs, and this daily accountability will be huge, so make sure to get logging.

One point will be awarded for each team member hitting their protein goal w/in 5%.

Consume 600g of fruits and veggies and you can earn a point for every team member hitting this goal by posting to the community board. Post must be made day-of in order to claim this point, so set yourself a reminder and cheer your teammates on to not miss out on these points up for grabs.

Share a meal prep hack, tip or trick, or favorite FitFoods meal of the week to the group by Friday of each week and each person can score an additional point for their team.

Prizes- The winning team will receive a group prize! This will be announced at the end of the challenge, so stay tuned and get pumped to be getting beach ready in time for summer!

    Hey- I’ve found some veggies logged in grams- for instance I searched “carrots in grams” and it came up- makes it a bit easier!

    I feel like I'm going to explode, but got all the damn veggies in today. Where's the barfing emoji?

    Welcome to Katie our new partner in the Quinoa Queens! It’s taken a couple of days to get the hang of this but This morning I threw 2-3 cups of spinach in morning smoothie. Perfect.
    I have always been pretty good about my veggie intake but am being more conscious and getting them in. Protein too.

    Here’s a great way to get some veggies and reduce carbs. Buy a $10 hand spiralizer and make zucchini noodles. It takes about 2 medium zucchini (which reduces down ALOT when you quickly sauté it) for a one serving with ground turkey,onion garlic canned diced tomatoes. My husband liked it too.

    Ate dinner out and still did my proper quotas!

    That’s awesome Melody. Eating out can be super challenging when trying to do this program. Did you say to your server “excuse me but how many grams of protein are there in this entree? “.
    Or “yes. I’ll have three orders of the house salad”....

    Way to go Melody! I ate dinner out tonight too and figured out that I can still get a ton of veggies in. Green curry for the win!

    Thanks for the green curry idea Katie. It’s another one of those dishes that you can add fistfuls if spinach to and it cooks right down.

    Guys! I’m in jury duty with carrots and celery and an apple - and beef jerky... and maybe a dark chocolate ... that celery is gonna be so loud! 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Katy tell us how you met your protein goals every day? Is beef jerky part of it cause I don’t like that stuff. And does anyone have ideas for good plant based protein sources?

    Micro greens added to salads is nice. Especially the sunflower pea and radish trio. Adds a nice bright flavor.

    Not meeting
    My protein goals. Every day I have a scoop of protein powder and I’m eating more Greek yogurt and I have meat or fish for dinner. It’s hard to believe that that is not enough.

    Broccoli spinach pasta sauce. No cream just steamed broccoli stems and spinach along with garlic capers and seasonings in a blender and water it was steamed in . Combine with steamed broccoli flowers Parmesan cheese lemon zest over pasta.

    There’s these things called “smart scales” that tell you macros based on weight if you put the code in - for white rice- for example. I am currently eating a very small portion of rice with my stir fry. 🤣

    A delicious quiche filling that healthier than all the fatty cheese and cream. In a blender mix 4 eggs and a pint of cottage cheese. Then use it with quiche Lorraine or any other combination
