Three Phases of Eating in the P90X Nutrition Plan:

• Phase 1: Fat Shredder,which is essentially eating foods high in protein to build muscle and lose fat.

• Phase 2: Energy Booster,? a combination of carbohydrates and protein with low-fat foods to increase your energy level.

• Phase 3: Endurance Maximizer,? suggests consuming complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and low calorie fats to provide you with the stamina necessary to get the most from your workout routines included in the P90X Nutrition Plan.

P90X Suggested Foods:

Before getting started, you will need to calculate your nutrition level to find the recommended daily caloric intake, based on your level of activity and resting metabolic rate. The P90X Nutrition Plan categorizes the following:

Proteins:
1. Fat-free, lean meats, and eggs.
2. Dairy: Low-fat milk and cheeses.
3. Fruits and vegetables: Organic or unprocessed.
4. Carbohydrates: Complex – breads, pasta. Avoid simple carbohydrates such as refined sugars, fruit juices, etc.
5. Snacks: Dried fruit, turkey jerky, soy nuts, protein bars.
6. Condiments: Low-fat marinades, fat-free dressings, mustards, honey.

Examples of meals under the P90X Nutrition Plan might include:

Two dairy products such as fat-free or low-fat milk, cream cheese, or yogurt.
1. One piece of fruit.
2. Three servings of vegetables. For those who aren’t particularly fond of vegetables, a glass of V-8 juice can be substituted.
3. One to two teaspoons of a condiment such as mustard, barbeque sauce, or ketchup may be added to the meal.
4. Six small, 3 oz., servings of protein; e.g., chicken or turkey.
5. Three servings of carbohydrates, a cup of each such as rice, beans, or two slices of whole wheat bread.
6. One recovery drink or power bar may be added after your workout session.

The P90X Nutrition Plan provides simple recipes and assigns caloric values to the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to make it easier to design your meals within the suggested serving and portion sizes. Sample grocery lists are also provided once you enroll in the program, as well as a variety of supplement options. The P90X Nutrition Plan emphasizes the importance of eating several small meals throughout the day instead of a couple of large meals, and drinking lots of water.

2. Response to "Hugh Gut" Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 18-03-2010 22:34 Hey Jay...there are plenty of people who start P90X and are not in good shape...look at the infomercial and you'll see a guy who is over 200 lbs and is about 5'8". My husband is 200 lbs and is 5'5". You do what you can when you start and you notice your progression as you go on. It takes commitment to do the program but you will see results. I had no motivation but one day I decided enough was enough and I wasn't gonna put up with my gut anymore! You have to find it in you to start and a Beachbody Coach (and anybody else in the program) will help you with the rest! Go for it!

3. HUGE GUT - Should I Try Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 13-03-2010 15:54 Hello All!    I was given P90X as a gift. I see the performers are all in great shape. I am 6' 280 pounds with a large beer gut. I wear size 44" pants. Obviously any exercise is good but I don't have the confidence that I am capable of getting nice abs. I have a brother who never lifts weights, never exercises and eats like a pig and has a fantastic, hard body. Me, well..... I look terrible. I just feel that genetics will keep me from the body I dream of. Am I wrong? Also, I got the dvd's and lost the nutrition plan in my recent move. Any suggestions?

4. P90x Healthy meals Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 12-03-2010 20:35 It seems like there are a few on here that are frustrated with weight loss or not sure what to eat. Look I have done P90x twice and by no means am I an expert but you have to follow the 6 day plan/wk and eat very little carbs, stay away from sugar and take in 30-60 grams of protein/ day. Oh the recovery drink works Firekat! I know its expensive but its tested and proven to help. I lost 23 pounds my first time doing it. My second time through I used the recovery and felt way better after my workouts. I have a ton of info on my site if anyone is interested. Good meal plans and other workouts. good luck

8. No weight loss does not mean a thing! Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 06-03-2010 09:41 You have to remember that you might not loose a single ounce throughout the entire program, some people you even put on a few pounds in the first weeks.    Lot's of people lost the fat and gained muscle and their total overall weight never changed at all...

9. Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 05-03-2010 15:34 I crave carbs at night more than in the morning. So I would eat 2 slices of whole wheat bread, 1 Tbs 100% fruit spread, and 1 Tbs all natural peanut butter. Is this bad? I weight about 148 with l0% bodyfat. My goal is to be 185 with 1-3% bodyfat. Also if I cut back on carbs won't I get weak and hungry. I only eat good carbs such as pasta, whole wheat bread, potatoes, brown rice and etc..

10. Hey Aleesha Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 03-03-2010 11:07 Yes, you should absoultely follow the meal plan. Without it, you won't get the same results. It's a very important part of the program, probably even more important than the training part. Although the two should be used in conjunction with one another to get maximum results. Best way to get a free version of the meal plan is too find a torrent for it. Otherwise hit up some p90x related message boards and see if someone can help you out. Beachbody.com has a great p90x forum. Good luck.

11. Diet & Nutrition Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 02-03-2010 13:55 I am 20 years old and my fiance and I are starting on the P90X trend tonight!! We are sooo excited to get back into shape, we just had a baby girl year ago and it's time to get back to our healthy, active bodies! We are borrowing P90X from a friend and we didn't get the nutrition guide and I was wondering if it's a HUGE deal to really follow it or should we take the time and money to get one? We don't need to loose a crazy amount of weight we just need to get toned and loose about 5-10 lbs. I just didn't know if just simply eating "better" (no fast food and eating more vegetables) would give us great results or if we should try and get the nutrition plan. Thanks for the help! Can't wait to get back into shape and we are ready to Bring It!!!!!

15. nutrition plan help Written by libby Atell, on 19-02-2010 19:08 hi there, I'm 18 and I convinced my mom to buy us the P90x, o far I'm the only one who's started it. My mom hasn't started yet because she feels that the meal plan is too complicated, taking up too much time to think out and prepare. she leaves work at 5:30 and doesn't get home until 5:20 so I can see why she would want something quick and easy. Is there anyway we can make the meals easier to follow?
