Love it? Got it! Sweet! Be sure to also 30 Day Challenge Group where we support each other through Meal Prep and fitness results.

OK so keep reading on, because I will share more Meal Prep for 21 Day Fix tips and also a sample of what I eat each day.

Meal Prep for Beginners Step #1 – Plan and Prep

The most important piece to every successful Beachbody fitness journey is to use the nutrition guide!

Check out the Nutrition World for some tips on nutrition guides and tips that I currently have available here on the site.

After you read through and understand your nutrition guide, then it’s time to:

• Know how many Containers/Portions or Macronutrients you need per day
• Track it with the 21 Day Fix/Max 30 nutrition trackers or for other programs MyFitnessPal

Meal Prep for Beginners Step #2 – Prep a WEEK in Advance

I use Sunday’s for my meal prep. The goal is that you will have everything planned out a week in advanced using Step #1 above.

After using the information in Step #1 above, you’ll know how much you should eat for portions, calories, and macros. Then, get yourself some handy tupperware containers (especially if you travel) and start prepping baby!

Meal Prep for Beginners Step #3 – Eat CLEAN

Eating Clean, in it’s most basic form is:

• Whole Foods with 1-2 ingredients maximum
• No processed fillers or foods
• Juicing/Shakes that contain a mix of only superfood or whole nutrients without soy, soy lecithin, poor cane sugars.

The less fillers and sugar and processes garbage? The better your results!

Why is Meal Prep for 21 Day Fix, INSANITY Max 30, and more so crucial?

Take it from me, the #1 struggle-dude in the world. I pushed so very hard in my workouts each day. I pushed play, but never seemed to get great results.

Why?

I ate what I “thought” was good food. For example:

Grilled Chicken Patty Melt

• Toasted bread (I’m not sure if this was white bread or wheat. If it was white = even worse!)
• Grilled chicken (the CLEAN food that should have been by itself with good herbs/spices)
• Cheese (yellow American cheese).

Oh and I sometimes had a cookie because I figured I’d push really hard in my workout anyway.

WAKE UP!

Even if you aren’t eating a LOT of calories each day, this sudden rush of sugar, carb-balance, and overly processed food source causes your insulin to spike. The body does not know how to handle this so what happens?

It Stores BODY FAT.

What is my thought on that? Waste. Of. Time.

My Typical Daily Food List

This is based on my recent INSANITY Max 30 journey; however it gives you a peak into what I eat each day. I am not vegetarian, vegan, or paleo – I just clean eat!

• 4 Egg Whites / 1 Whole Egg scrambled with 1 cup mix of spinach and mushrooms (from time to time I substitute the spinach with chopped green peppers).
