P90X – Day 10 – Diet Plan
Jan 28th, 2009 by Josh
We have been doing good as far as our P90X work. So far we haven’t skipped any workouts and have kept diet deviations to a minimum. If you have direct questions about the diet, email me, or post it in the comments, but I was just going to comment on it a little.
P90X gives you two options for the diet. You can follow their recipes and do the “meal plan” where every meal for the 90 days is planned out for you. You can also do the “portion plan” option where you eat a certain number of proteins, carbs, fats, daily and it gives you a list of what exactly constitutes 1 carb, 1 fat, etc.
We chose to follow the portion plan. There are three levels based on your current weight. Since I’m much bigger than Emily I’m on Level III and she’s on Level II. That means that we each get different amounts of food per day (I get more). Here is the list of foods that I get.
9 Proteins
4 Dairy
2 Fruit
4 Vegetables
1 Fat
1 Carb
2 Double Snacks
2 Condiments
An example of 1 protein would be 6 egg whites (and I need 9 every day). 1 Carb would be 2 slices of bread.
Of the whole program thus far, the diet has to be the hardest. Even if we’re tired and sore (which is everyday) it is easy to push play and do the workouts. It is tough every day and every meal to eat correctly. It seems to be getting easier, but it is far from easy.
We have made some of the meals outlined in the meal plan. The vegetable soup is amazing, and the shrimp stir-fry was horrible but I think I (we) overcooked the veggies. I’ll put some pictures down below of those two.
Hey there! I’ve been reading your weblog for a long time now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from
Lubbock Texas! Just wanted to mention keep up the good
job!
I do not know if it’s just me or if everyone else encountering problems with your
site. It seems like some of the text in your posts are running
off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them too?
This might be a issue with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Many thanks
