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.

P90X Nutrition Plan Conclusion:

Motivation and self-discipline are the keys to success with the P90X Nutrition Plan. With complete online support and a daily workout regimen, combined with good eating habits, you’ll be on your way to a fit and healthy new you.
