Hi Carrie, great list! Number 2 and 12 are most important for me. When I prep my meals it keeps me from eating fast food when I do not have to cook and pictures keep me motivated and focused. Keep the good work! Losing weight must be great decision. It must be you are determine to do work on your body and getting to disciplined on what you eat.

I created planner too. It really a big help. This was SO encouraging and helpful! Thank you for taking the time to write this out. Craving brownies and ice cream and ALL the carbs!!! This was a great read to help me keep up the hard work, so thank you!!! The carb cravings will get better, I promise. The first week is so tough. A little glass of wine triggers eating, and a bigger glass…etc. Another thing you might do is save all your yellows for your night out.

A drink is technically okay on the plan as long as you swap it out for a yellow and no more than twice a week, I believe. So, I try to save my yellows to accomodate for a glass of wine and the cookies I will probably eat afterwards. Hello, I was just wondering if you doubled up on your workouts on the third week or just did 30 mins.

If I do them together by doing an entire hour then I almost die. I am a morning.

Person and all my energy is in the mornings. I am drained in the afternoon. Hi Sofia! The chart only tells the cup calculation up to pounds with a calorie count of Thank you. According to the 21 Day Fix eating plan over pounds you would round down to the last container level. Autumn has another workout program, 80 Day Obsession that also uses the portion control containers that has a calorie container level The container count for that is 8 green, 5 purple, 7 red, 5 yellow, 1, blue, 1 orange, 8 tsp.

I have a job that is extremely physical in nature, I would imagine that my food intake should be higher than someone who might sit at a desk, even though we are technically both in the same calorie bracket. Is there any info on how to up my food intake appropriately without jeopardizing weight loss? I bought the program years ago and have since lost my book.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Hi Roo, There is nothing in the guidebook about someone who works an extremely physical job I would start where the program recommends and if you find yourself to hungry, lack of energy, or are losing to much weight to quick then consider bumping up a level until you find your comfort zone. This is so great that you posted this article.

I purchased the 21 Day Fix, but access to the portion containers and recipes are extra. I am confused about the chart though. Are you supposed to fill 3 green containers a day, 2 purple, and 4 red, etcetera, each day? I fall into the first column of the chart, and that seems like a lot of food! LOL Could you clarify? Also, there is a typo on the title of the chart — Calulate — if you care to fix it : : : ]. Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, you would fill the containers the amount of times listed for the day. For example, if you got 4 red containers you could do 1 red container for breakfast, 1 for lunch, and 2 for dinner. Good eyes, see anything else let me know. Hello, a bit curious about foods that would technically qualify in two categories. For example, avocados are a healthy fat but also a fruit. So what should I do in these situations?

Avocado is a blue container. It goes more by nutritional value than technicalities of food. You can match the food to the food category list if you you have questions. I would trust the calorie recommendation the program suggests. It is usually surprisingly accurate when given a chance even it does seem like a lot at first. I have been told two different ways so I want to make sure.

Someone said it is weight x 11 — if not working out so which is it cause how I understand it, it would be the first one. I would only add if working out correct? I thought I would be plan a as when you look at dozens of website calculators online it says to times your weight by 12 to get BMR and then minus to get your calorie deficit so it is just a bit confusing to me on how that part works. Can you explain to me.

That would be great. Hi Heather, They are different formulas…If you are not working out the calculation is bodyweight times 11 and then subtract calories to get your calorie target. With just subtracting out the you would be ignoring the fact that the calories was added in, with some of the more extreme workouts calicoes might be added in depending on activity level. A better way is to create around a calorie a day deficit to be a able to sustain and keep the weight off for the long term. I am sorry I am so confused, but I obviously am.

Yes, according to the calculation, it would be Plan C 1, calorie level. As you lose weight you drop down plan levels, so at you would then go down to Plan B 1,,, etc. Bethany, I am confused about the teaspoons, am I supposed to have that raw, like drizzle some olive oil over salad, or can I use those to like cook a piece of meat in the skillet?

Hi Ann, It is recommended to have the teaspoons raw and not just pan seasoning. Like you said you could use olive as a salad dressing or use coconut oil in a cup of coffee. I think the main part is just to make sure you get the nutritional benefit of the healthy fats is to make sure you get them whole. I downloaded the 21 day fix app on my iphone and ipad. According to the 21 day fix book and my calculations, the daily container portions should be The app shows the container portions as How can I change the container portions?

I used the printable tracker sheets.

You may want to try reaching out to the app developer to see if there is a way to change the target portions. I am having a hard time trying to figure out the carbs per day. I am on the to calorie fix. Please advise. Thank -you.

HI Bethany, sorry I did not explain my question properly. What are some examples of what would fill the two yellow containers per day. You can find the original list of yellow container foods on page 28 of the 21 day Fix nutrition guide. I also have a shopping list for the different category foods that gives you a good overview of the type of foods that are included.

I have a question! Do you eat the containers during the day and then eat a sensible dinner or are the containers the whole day and dinner together? I have a quick question. I go the gym days a week, I work out plus do min of cardio each day. Would you recommend this meal plan to someone like me?

I am 44 yrs old and pds. Would like to loose at least 15 pds. If I am starting the 21 Day Fix and cannot do the exercises right now due to my heel and wearing a brace, do I subtract anything from the calories that I would consume? Hi Marian, If you are not working out you multiply your bodyweight by 11 to determine your caloric baseline. Then you take your caloric baseline and subtract , this would be your calorie target to determine your container level.

Hi I am trying to lose weight and when I calculate my numbers it says I work out 5 days a week but not doing the 21 day fix work outs so what calories should I be eating. Hi Nicole, You lose weight as long as your body is in a calorie deficit. So if you ate the and your body used through exercise and other bodily functions your calorie deficit is calories a day. That would be a calorie deficit of calories over the week which would result in weight loss.
