Here is what I do to make sure I have protein to get me through the day, I grill 3 chicken breasts and put them in a tupperware and take them with me in the morning.
It's Friday!! You have made it this far so do not give in now, no matter what. I am sure that 9 out of 10 of you will come to a point today or this evening where you will consider cheating.....DON'T!!
I am so proud of this group, it seems like this cleanse is easy for all of you and I am loving the posting with the calories! Let's remember we have two more days after today, stay on track and get in that protein.
Morning - Take ProBiotic pills on an empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast and......FIBER DRINK IS BACK with breakfast! Remember to mix/stir just before drinking it and immediately after drink 10-12 oz of water.
*Herbal Cleanse is done but if you forgot to take it on days 1-7 then continue to have it in the evening until it is out.
*Spark - in the morning in place of coffee and/or before exercise (and/or mid afternoon for energy)
*Catalyst - 3 capsules mid morning and mid afternoon (also before working out)
*Meal Replacement Shake - drink in place of a meal (try and eat 4-5 meals per day), you may also drink in place of breakfast.

I realize I didn't do a good job of eating well today (missed both snacks! yikes!) but I started at a new job and was getting trained so I just couldn't take a break to grab a bite.
Also, is almond butter really that many calories? livestrong said I racked up 250 cal. from that alone (2 tbsp.)

Charlie- I am struggling to meet my calorie intake. I realize today I missed my snack after lunch, but that usually consists of almonds, carrots, and grapes. This would still leave me under my goal. which is up right about 2000. I would say just drink more shakes but that is to expensive. Your advice is appreciated!

Elizabeth - congrats on the weight loss! I saw your post on facebook, keep it up and you will see even better results. With breakfast, try half of a banana. Keep aiming to eat your goal calories!
ReplyDeleteMia - your calories are too low, the food looks good but too low. Breakfast needs protein, add 4 eggs (2 yolks). Aim for 300-400 calories at meals and about 250 at snacks.
ReplyDeleteKathy - yea, I would have to guess that Thai beef was higher....and also not cleanse friendly due to marination. Good job though, I see your effort to get protein.
ReplyDeleteEric - I would say between 1900-2100 would be a good goal when you workout. Your food looks good, try not to eat over 500 calories at one meal.
ReplyDeleteMaria - morning snack could have used aanother 150 calories to make your day right. Also, you are better off eating vegetables instead of those pinto beans and rotel (think abs!)
ReplyDeleteKandis - great job, I LIKE IT! Next goal - getting some protein in your snacks.
ReplyDeleteLauren - yep, almond butter is that many calories. That's why I tell everyone to eat lots of vegetables, lean protein and moderate amounts of healthy fats (which is what almond butter is). If you would have drank a meal replacement shake mid morning and mid afternoon you would have been perfect. If you do not have any order them here -https://www.advocare.com/08121438/Store/ItemDetail.aspx?itemCode=T1251&id=A&flavor=B
ReplyDeleteAlso, lunch was too high ain calories and had no protein, aim for 300-400 calories per meal. And 200-250 calories per snack.
Zach - if you would have added an afternoon shake or meal that would have helped. Also, when you have a shake like that for breakfast, keep the fruit and add about 15 cashews or almonds to that. Also, 12 oz of chicken is too much at one meal, 8 oz is good. That dinner could have used some healthy fats (like avocado) and vegetables.
ReplyDeleteZach - a great alternative for you to a shake would be 2-3 hard boiled eggs and a piece of fruit or veggies, like a banana or a cup of baby carrots.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - yea, and morning snack was low. Lunch could have handled 5-6 oz of salmon instead of 3 oz as well.
ReplyDeleteCallie - I will take that, this next meeting we will address balancing meals with protein which will help you.
ReplyDeleteWill - I would have cut the number of cashews you had in the afternoon in half and you would have had a perfect day.
ReplyDeleteI have been posting my meals, but I can't see them, can someone please tell me if I am doing something wrong. Friday was very difficult for me, confession: I ate 3 bites of potatoe salad, and a couple bites of chips with caso over my aunts house in moderation but I don't think those items are apart of the cleanse, it was really good, but I will do better and work hard to stay focused. On the up side of things, I have lost 6 lbs already and family members are starting to notice, a trimmer me. So I am motivated to stay with this and keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteToday For Breakfast: Just water
ReplyDeleteLunch: grilled chicken, alvacodo
