Sample Menu

Why is it that when you want to find something you can't? I have been looking for two weeks for my nutrition guide to P90X and I can not find it. Which box has not been left unturned??!??

Here is a sample menu of 1600 calories. I can't stress enough how important it is to eat 5-6 times a day. Why is that? It boost your metabolism, and doesn't make it feel like you are starving yourself. In conjunction with moderate exercise you can see some great results. Just remember.... DON'T GIVE UP!! You might not see results for 3-4 weeks. Keep on truckin along!

Give or take fish and chicken; although they are "white meat" the calorie difference isn't that significant. Change the calories up a little if you use chicken. I prefer using Italian on my chicken and eat my salad plain. ALSO... I wouldn't do the diet soda, but I would do the GREEN TEA, which ever kind is available. The little packets you pour into water might work just great!!
