Re: P90X PX90 Diet and Meal Ideas



http://betterbody90.com More diet/nutrition/fitness tips for P90X, Insanity, or whatever else you are doing.

Hey Ruddsta! Awesome job trying to get your diet setup. Your diet will be key to success but it doesn't have to be difficult. I understand the nutrition guide can be intimidating but it will start to make more sense as you go. Focus on 5-6 meals a day (3 solid meals and 2-3 snacks). Now I am not a nutritionist so I can't give you nutrition consultation but I can tell you what i do and what has worked from me. Play with these ideas and modify to your liking. If these don't fit your tastes let me know - Here are some things I use.

Portions:

Chicken 1/2 Breast
Sliced Ham: 2-3 Clicse
Tuna: 1 Can
Pork: 1 chop
* I don't eat red meat though on a very rare occasion I'll treat myself to a nice juicy burger on the grill - I pick the leanest ground beef possible and usually fill a 1/3 cup and then form the patty. Put this on a whole wheat burger bun - Add some Pickles - Ketchup and or mustard - Lett - Tom - Onion. You've got yourself a delicious but not really all that bad meal. Just make sure it's the leanest beef you can find like 97/3 meat/fat or even 98/2. This is a good treat every once in awhile to say thank to yourself.

Some Carb portions:

Whole Grain Pasta: 1/2 Cup
Whole Wheat Bread: 1 Slice as a side meal or if your making a sandwich then 2 slices.
Rice: 1/2 Cup Cooked

Veggies:

With anything you want to eat within reason though veggies don't matter as much - It's the condiments you add that make it bad. Avoid butter and salt if you can.
Sometimes a nice treat would be a Baked Sweet Potato Topped with a Tablespoon of Dark Brown Sugar. If your like me I love my sweets so this is a way for me to cheat myself into thinking it's desert :).

Some of my meals:

Breakfast

1/2 Cup Egg White (Sometimes a whole egg with 1/4 Cup Egg Whites)
2-3 Slices of Ham or Turkey pan fried in veggie oil or Dry
1 Slice Wheat Toast with 2 Tablespoons of all Natural Peanut Butter
Coffee or OJ or just Water

Lunch

1 Can Tuna
1-2 Tablespoons low fat mayo
*Sometimes it's good to toss in some raisins or some apple junks to your tuna salad - Adds variety.
2 Slices of Whole Wheat Bread (7 Grain, Russian Dark, Rye, etc. Switch it up weekly)
Some lettuce and tomato - Maybe onion if you like.
Usually I do 1 Cup of Low Sodium V8 and add another 1 Cup of water - *This fills a Pint glass ;).

Dinner

1/2 Chicken Breast
1/2 Cup Dry Whole Wheat Pasta
* I vary my type of noodles just to change it up. Like macaroni, penne, spaghetti, etc.
3-4 Tablespoons crushed or minced tomato from a can - This is the straight up tomato, not marinara.
For a side sometimes I'll add 1/3-1/2 Cup Fat Free Cottage Cheese

Snack Ideas

1 Power Bar Protein Plus
1 Beachbody Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Bar
1 Protein Shake
*2 Cups Milk Or Soy or a Combination, 2 Scoops Whey Protein Isolate or Isolate/Concentrate Mix, 1/4 Egg White, if you have a blender you can add a couple table spoons natural Peanut Butter for added protein. If you add peanut butter I suggest cutting the milk to 1 Cup and adding water, otherwise this shake will be thiiiiiick. I wouldn't add peanut butter without a blender cause it won't mix well otherwise and Make Sure it's smooth and not chunky style!*
1/2 C No Fat Yogurt (Varies your flavors each time) with 1/4 Cup whole wheat natural cereal like Kashi Brand or some low fat granola. Add some Vanilla or Chocolate Soy milk on top. Slice up a banana on top. This is a full snack to get you through several hours.

Hope this helps
