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.

I've lost the meal plan or missed placed it, it will take a few to find i don't want that to keep me from getting started. Please send me a copy of the meal plan so i can follow the guidelines and the workout breakdown which days to use what and so on please! I can't take being so out of shape anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

13. Expensive?? Time Consuming?? Written by Carlo, on 01-02-2010 00:10 Read all the post and I must say that its not expensive and you do have time to prepare the food since there are three variations. You can also occasionally eat fast food from time to time which is also indicated in the guide. Advice, READ THE NUTRITIONAL GUIDE carefully. Health is wealth not time so there are no excuses from any of you! Its my Round 3 of P90X. I lost 75lbs my first and second round. Gained 20lbs and now determined to lose more on the 3rd round. I have two kids, working full time and still have time to prepare and cook! You just have to manage your time and the Nutritional Guide helps!!!

15. Nutrition Written by This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , on 27-01-2010 12:49 Hello... I am 23 and 5'3" and about 112 lbs. I starting P90X about a week and a half ago (I am doing the lean variation) and I just want to tone up. I don't need to lose a lot of weight... maybe like 5 pounds that I've gained recently. Is it important that I stick to the nutrition part of it or will the workouts be sufficient on their own?    Thanks!  Stephanie
