Can anyone please read the back of the package for the protien bar and recovery drink and please post that here for me. I would like to make sure what I purchase is similar in calories/carbs/protein to the one designed for p90x.

Thanks

Thanks for the info - Ia m shocked! 37 grams of carbs? 2400 calorie diet only allows for 180 grams!! Thats a huge chunk. They must really cut carbs on the rest of the program to make this work.

So realy the problem with most of us is we are not going to cook and eat every thing as it is laid out in p90x. So most of us will substitute items that we think is healthy and fits the program. Now with that said, and since I have been logging everything I eat into an online food diary I have found that its is super easy to exceed the carbs. Milk, veggies, protien drinks, wheat bread all have a bunch of carbs. Even healthy vegetable soups have 20 grams of carbs. So if you are not careful you can go over carbs real easy.

But I think most power bars and the like will have very similar nurtrition as the p90x bar. But I still don't like the amount of carbs it includes.

I've been following the portion approach as it's laid out, to the T & I'm hitting about 240G of carbs a day, well between 230-240 depending if I use a bar or not. I use the Pure Protein bars, their only 200 calores, have more protein & less sugar than the P90X bars, less carbs too.

SavTime,

What has been the best food intake program you mention. Does it have brand name food info, or just generic, ie, just milk, eggs, bread, or Ritz brand crackers, Campbell's Soup, etc? It doesn't matter too much, as long as it is easy to enter labels for the frequently used foods and it has a memory.

Dom - I never saw your post.

You are correct as long as it has labels or you can find on the internet you can log it. Its obviously easier to log on a free website like nutrawatch or fitday. Thats what I do just log all my foods so I know exactly where I stand each day.

Hey you guys,

There is an easier way to find all the info you are looking for on P90X. It's FREE....PROMISE.

You can be a free Beachbody member. It doesn't cost a thing. You can do your research on all of the products and connect with a larger community of P90X lovers. You don't have to buy their products, but you can see the labels and ingredient info and substitute with your own. There are about 140,000 currently on the P90X message boards. I always find the info I need there.

I also log my workouts in on their online gym. Everyday one person wins $300-$1000 for doing their workout and logging it in. I have two friends who have won already.

I just went to the Tony Horton Fitness camp in Vegas and it was amazing!! About to start my second round of P90X in a week!

If you want to check it out go to

http://www.teambeachbody.com

Go to the bottom of the page and click the GOLD Million Dollar Body tab. It will have you fill out a profile page. Put a before photo up, fill out your stats and a little about your fitness goals. Then start logging in your workouts. I love it!! It's totally FREE.

(Don't hit the BLUE--join the club--that one has much more info but it costs $2.99 a week)

Hope that helps for your questions
