You have everything you need to start P90X3 from your equipment to your fit test results. But what about the P90X3 Grocery List? Today I will share the things that I eat to make sure that I’m meeting my nutrition requirements to the maximum. The ultimate goal of this page is to help you get all set-up so that you can get the results you DESERVE with P90X3!
Before we start, be sure you also check out the other resources here on Sweet Life Fitness. The best place to start is the P90X3 Nutrition Guide, followed-up by the P90X3 Supplements and Diet Plan posts. All of these links will open in a new tab/window so you can keep on reading this page too.
P90X3 Grocery List Details Explained
When it comes to shopping for the right foods, here are a few ways to make sure you are getting the right foods:
- Natural, Whole Foods (avoid overly-processed foods, cookies, cakes, etc).
- Wheat Bread vs White Bread (see: Good Carbs vs Bad Carbs on this topic).
- Gluten Free Foods (as an option, if you feel too full or “bloated” after eating breads, pastas, etc).
You also want to make sure you hit your appropriate caloric and macro-nutrients each day. This is HUGE if you want to lose fat, tone up, and even get ripped. Check out the P90X3 Nutrition Plan link above, and also How to Use MyFitnessPal for the best results.
How can you maximize your Grocery list to hit the right macro nutrients? Make sure you find enough quality food to hit the following macros:
- 30% Protein (this means, 30% of your calories will come from protein)
- 40% Carbs (this means, 40% of your calories will come from healthy carbs)
- 30% Fats (this means, 30% of your calories will come from healthy fats)
I strongly suggest using MyFitnessPal, which is 100% free, to track your calories and macros. This is the best way to ensure you aren’t eating too little or too much, which could devistate your P90X3 results. I do recommend that after you hit your Victory Week (final week or final two weeks), adjust the macros slightly. You will not need as many carbs, since the Victory Week workouts are not as intense. With this in mind, consider doing 50% protein / 30% carbs / 20% fats. This will help you lean out to show off your great work!
Below are a few grocery list items to make sure you can aim towards getting the best blend of protein, carbs, and fats. After you read this info, be sure to comment below and let us know what YOU eat each day with your P90X3 Grocery list.
P90X3 Grocery List Options
These are just an example of some of the many P90X3 grocery list items you can get. I will come clean and say that I tend to eat kind of boring (you can see what I eat on MyFitnessPal – add me as a friend under screen name “CoolRunLT”). I eat boring because I know that it is as clean as I can get in my eating, and I actually enjoy it, because it takes the guesswork out of food (I think I tend to eat fast food and junk if I don’t stick to a plan).
