Nutrition & Healthy Cooking

Thank you. That helped me out alot. i appreciate it.

@misscar90

Your body weight (in pounds) x 10 = RMR (resting metabolic rate)
Your RMR x 20% = Daily Activity Burn
Your RMR + Daily Activity Burn + 600 = Energy Amount

Energy Amount between 1800-2399 = Level 1
Energy Amount between 2400-2999 = Level 2
Energy Amount 3000+ = Level 3

Example: 6 foot, 180 pound man.
RMR = 180 x 10 = 1800
DAB = 1800 x 20% = 360
Energy Amount = 1800+360+600 = 2760
Nutrition Level: 3

which do you think is better portion or meal approach?

this was very helpful

@misscar90 Phase 1 Fat burner is a good place to start… but if you are doing the program you will not want to stay on that Phase for long.. you will be amazed that you can eat more (good stuff) and still drop pounds!

@edstromb Not to my knowledge. I guess you could call Beach Body and ask.

I wanted to know how do you choose what level is best for you? I want to burn fat…..lose weight…..cud u help me?…Thanks.

Can you get the nutrition plan seperate? where?

Great one. Thanks for shooting this!

Ok just one more question by how much more did you up your calories by?

@P90XAREYOUREADY That is when I up’d mine a little and then as I was losing more weight than I wanted I added more.
The key is to keep your energy levels up. Everyone is going to be different. You will know what is best!

@bestbodyforyou Ok so do you reccomend I not do all 3 phases?? And by how much should I up my calories intake each month??

Ok so your saying I dont have to do all three phases?? ANd that I should up my calories once I get into the 2nd phase??

@P90XAREYOUREADY Most likely want to move at least into Phase 2 of the Eating plan… as you workout you will be burning some serious calories and you will want to (need to) increase your calorie intake. I found it difficult after week one to stay in the Level 1 Fatburner phase. I needed more carbs to do the workouts.
What most people don’t understand this is different from any other kind of workout. Like being a Pro Athlete – they eat TONS of good calories to support their muscle mass.

I also had a question about the phases?? Ok for example lets say I fall into level 1 on my calorie intake…. Do I have to do phase 1, 2, and 3 threw out the entire 90days and just stay on level 1 one for each phase?? Please respond asap it would be a really big help!! Thank you

@roslynny Say what?
Well I guess everyone has a different perception. Thew book has one fold in the cover… that is because I use it and the video is 4 minutes and 6 seconds. Obviously life is a challenge to you? Call BeachBody and tell them it sucks OK… I don’t work for the company!

u keep saying easy, yet you have a 10 minute video and i am still confused, just look at the condition of your book, is dogeared, this plan is so complicated that it sucks

@x1presenter how much carbs should i be eating in each phase ?

you think it would be ok to eat 3000 cals for each phase as that what i am eating right about now

@19may0001 I did not follow the “meal plan menus” as such… I just set the amount of calories and then used the charts in the book as a guide to create my own meals.

Im seeing sections on burning fat and gaining energy, but what about building muscle mass?

do you have to follow this p90x meal plan? cant i just make my own meals that work for me looking at this meal plan book you got it seems this will take long time to make which i dont have ?????

Hey BBFY! Thanks for this explanation. I wanted to let you know that I’ve started a new blog where I’m posting new P90x recipes every day. It also has a food journal download that is similar to the one you show in your video, however it is more focused on the portions than the calories. (I’m not a coach – it’s an informational site only.) It’s at My p90x Nutrition Plan .com – as you seem to be helping a lot of people, could you check it out and direct others to it as you see fit? Thanks! – CJ =)
