Looking for some help here so I can do this program properly.
The nuitrition book is too complicated for me. Dont have the time to lear or to prepare too much stuff.

I would like to have a given schedule of food EVERY day, SAME thing. Something I could prepare a LOT of and store in the fridge.
If you can help... i would greatly apreciate it.

I am 200 lb 6ft tall and on the IIplan-1st Phase of the P90x program.

Looking to get a simple list of things to eat and get my fat/protein/carbs and calories intake sorted out.

So what should I have for :


BreakFast:
-

Lunch:

-

Dinner:

THANK YOU A TON!

Well, I don't follow the plan either and although I'm sure I'd see better results if I did follow it I'm not complaining with the results I've reached so far. You can see my photos in the photo section to see if my progress is something you're looking for.. Anywho my diet is as follows:

Breakfast
2 eggs, white cheese, 3 slices of turkey all mixed up.
I mix it up sometimes with just water or a small glass of chocolate milk (depending on whether I'm doing resistance or cardio in that day)

Snack
2 string cheese and some grapes

Lunch
I mix it up between a tuna wrap, a turkey wrap, or a plain ol chicken breast. And for the wraps I get carb balance fajita sized tortillas. (12 g of cabs and 3 g of protein)

Snack
Either pistachios and string cheese or a tasty apple. The apples I buy are abnormally large so they fill me up nicely.

Dinner
Either tuna wrap or chicken breast. Massive protein. Although sometimes I like to switch it up and have a bowl of chilli. The chilli is higher in carbs than protein but if I really worked my butt off in my workout I reward myself sometimes.

Oh, and I also drink my recovery drink during dinner and usually just have water with every other meal. Just mix it up and see what works for you and what you enjoy eating.

Here's my diet from the last 4 weeks.

Breakfast: 4 Egg Whites, 2 slices of Tukey bacon, 1 Slice low fat American Cheese, Whole Wheat English Muffin w/ Jam.

Snack: One of the following 1/2 Orange, Low fat String cheese or 1/2 Protien Bar.

Lunch: Level II Protien Shake, 8oz. Skim Milk, 1 Banana, 1 Scoop of Body Fortress Chocolate Whey purchased at Wal-Mart. I normaly make up 2 Shakes at once, just to save myself extra dishes every night.

Snack: Same as above.

Workout right after work

Recovery Drink

Dinner: Most days it's a chicken salad Lettuce, Tomatoe I'm sure you have a good idea of what a salad is made of. Other days it,s just a couple of veggie burgers w/ low fat swiss and a couple slices of tomatoe.

Other than the milk used in my shakes I drink nothing but water.

I try to grill a weeks worth of chicken at one time. I hate to cook.

Boring? To most. Effective? Yes

Good luck and enjoy the workouts!

Agree w/ above, i started to follow the nutrition plan, but that just wasn't going to happen. So i chose to go with the portion plan.

I workout in the mornings (@ about 4, so you may have to adjust accordingly). I only drink the recovery drink (Endurox R4 - vanilla) after the hardcore workouts like chest & back, shoulders & arms, plyometrics, and Legs & back.

According to some research I've done, you need to consume 1g of protein for 1 lb of body weight. So, i try my best.

Breakfast: 6 egg whites (usually w/ tomatoes & mushrooms), protein shake (w/ 1/2 banana and some frozen berries, 1 cup skim milk).

Snack: One of the following: 1 oz turkey jerkey, 2 oz soy nuts, 2oz cashews, 1/2 cup cottage cheese (w/ some fruit in it)

Lunch: 6oz of some kind of meat (tuna, chicken, turkey breast, some sort of fish) w/ some vegetables (you can buy one of those frozen steamer vegetable bags that you can put straight into the microwave)

Snack: One of the following: 1 oz turkey jerkey, 2 oz soy nuts, 2oz cashews, 1/2 cup cottage cheese (w/ some fruit in it), or any whole fruit that will fill you up

Dinner: 6oz of some kind of meat (tuna, chicken, turkey breast, some sort of fish)

You can grill most of the meat during the weekend, tuna is the easiest (tuna cans). The one thing keeps this from getting boring is to use different marinades.

I'm already skinny (thus the screen name), so i've started to incorporate more carbs, and some peanut butter into my diet.

Also, very important, DRINK 12 glasses of water a day...it is difficult but you have to drink water. Hope that helped.

Also, try recording for one day everything you eat and put it into an excel file and see how many calories, etc. you consume. I was surprised to find that I was consuming less than 1600 cals/day and had to start incorporating more good cals into the diet.

THANKS a bunch for your responces!

I went shopping today for food... I will make a plan of daily meals (will use your posts as guidence) and post here. Hopefully I will be at my goal protein and Calories intake.

Right now Im waaay to tired to do anything except maybe take a shower....

Just finished the 3rd day of my training +the AbRipper (couldnt do it all)
Im beat up

Just as an alternative...I do the main exercise in the morning and do the Ab Ripper in the evening...

DAY 4 IS DONE--- my new most hated workout is YOGA!
