Max 30 Meal Plan and Nutrition Guid

I am very excited to officially be able to share my meal plan with you all!  That has been the hardest part of this program because I am always posting pictures of my food and teaching you how and what I eat each week!  

So whats my favorite part about the Max 30 nutrition guide?  

IT'S SO EASY TO FOLLOW!!!  It is basic and anyone can do it!!!  Just pick from each category and use the tracking sheets to tally your food!  I still use the tracking sheets after 5 weeks bc it just keeps me focused on exactly what I'm eating!!!!

So how does the nutrition plan work?  You get to choose which plan you follow based on your weight.  Plan A or Plan B.  I am plan A because I am under 150 pounds.  So I have a select number of fruits, veggies, proteins, carbs, healthy fats, seeds & dressings and oils and butters I can have each day. The nutrition guide gives you a list of foods in each category to choose from.
As I am creating my meal plan I tally the food groups so that I know if I have stayed within my daily recommended amount.  Originally the one area that I tend to go over is my carbs and fruits!  Since doing the 21 day fix and now Insanity Max 30 I really have become aware of my portion size and also have been able to narrow down my food to the correct amount per day.  I can truly say that the nutrition portion of the workout plan is what makes you have increased performance, abs and more muscle definition plus just the energy to rock your workout!  The days I eat off the plan are the days my workout suffers!  It truly does go hand in hand!  You can't out exercise a bad diet.

I aim to eat 5-6 small meals per day.  I typically combine a protein and a fruit/veggie at each meal! I like to combine the slow and fast burning fuel bc that is what keeps me full the longest and also follows the eating clean principles that I learned when I started healthy eating.  

I still have to make a conscious effort to drink 1/2 my body weight in ounces of water each day!  But I make it happen, someway somehow bc that also improves your results!  


Here is my meal plan for week 3 of Insanity Max 30.  
Shakeology is always my breakfast because it's quick and easy and honestly I just don't have time in the morning to prepare breakfast.  Plus I like to save my carbs for later in the day so I don't eat oatmeal for breakfast.
You can see the food is basic, the recipes are easy to make and everything tastes good!  Nothing from a box, keep your sodium in check and natural sugar!!!   
It's easy to follow and both Matt and I can do it together. The best part is that we don't make separate meals for our kids. They eat what we eat as well!  Setting the example for good choices now pays off in a big way later.

What's the biggest obstacles I faced?
Camping, traveling & summer activities have been a challenge but one I have accepted. I focus on balance and having access to beachbody on-demand makes it simple to press play if I'm away! 
I always prep my food and pack food with me when I go ANYWHERE so I can stay focused! It's just the drinks and desserts that tend to trip me up!  So gotta get my game face on and get ready to rock it out!!!!





So meal plan ready- grocery list prepped and it's time to hit up the grocery store!!!!!!!

Lets rock our week!  Focus is your key to success!
