Confession # 136 – The 80 Day Obsession Timed Nutrition thing is a little frightening to me. And I am not sure if I can follow it for 80 hours, let alone 80 days. But I know there are a bunch of you who are all in…and when I was reading the recommended pre and post workout meal ideas…well, they kinda made me sad – especially after years of making our family favorites FIX friendly.
Since I love you all, I decided to make a list of delicious AND healthy Pre and Post Workout meals to get you started and I will be adding more throughout the 80 days, so make sure you check back.
For those of you don’t know, here is how the Pre and Post Workout Meals are structured according to Beachbody.
Pre-Workout Meal (60-90 minutes BEFORE your workout)
If you are following plan A, B, or C, your pre-workout mealwill have the following containers:
- 1 Green (vegetables)
- 1 Red (protein)
- 1 Yellow (carbohydrates)
- 1 tsp. (oils and nut butters)
If you follow plan D, E, or F, your pre-workout meal has the same containers as the lower-calorie meal plans, plus an additional purple container. So for the meal ideas below, you will need to simply add any fruit from the purple container food list and you will be all set.
Post-Workout Meal (1-2 hours AFTER your workout)
If you are following plan A, B, or C, your post-workout meal will also have the following containers:
- 1 Green (vegetables)
- 1 Red (protein)
- 1 Yellow (carbohydrates)
- 1 tsp. (oils and nut butters)
If you are following plan D, E, or F, your post-workout meal will have the following containers:
- 1 Green (vegetables)
- 2 Red (protein)
- 1 Yellow (carbohydrates)
- 1 tsp. (oils and nut butters)
So for the meal ideas below, you will need to simply double the protein (RED) container and you will be good to go!
