What Exactly Can I Eat On 21 Day Fix?
Autumn Calabrese encourages people to eat whole, unprocessed meals while on the plan. Look to see whether the food list or simply ask yourself if this is packaged food if you want to know whether it's 21 Day Fix approved. Is it high in sugar? If either answer is yes, it's unlikely to be a good choice.
Shop local at the farmers markets in the summer and whole goods places in the winter if possible. We have an Amish grocery we go to in the winter time here that has great prices with great foods of all kinds that are unprocessed. So look around order delivery if you can with vegetables and meats that are grass fed.
1200 Calorie Meal Plan For 21 Day Fix
Most people when they think 1,200 calories that just isn't enough to get me through the day. Well it is all about food density and when you follow this plan trust us you will be full.
- 2 snacks and optional supplements are included in this meal plan, which comprises of breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as two snacks.
- You have the option of using Shakeology, Energize, Hydrate, Collagen, or Recover. It's not necessary.
- Energize is a free meal and does not contribute to your calorie count.
- You may always save two yellows in order to have a treat instead. The dessert should not exceed 200 calories, and you can do this swap up to three times per week. Our favorite protein donuts or 21 Day Fix chocolate chip cookies as a reward!
- You may personalize the meal plan to your preferences! We've discovered that it's easiest to prepare dinner first and then fill in the rest of the containers for each other meals.
- Do you yearn for something sweet? This Shakeology mug cake is fantastic! It's a treat, but it doesn't count as one of your weekly treats! Simply keep track of it with your containers.
How Many People Does The Plan Include?
This particular plan is only for 1 person, but you can just double for 2 and more just adjust accordingly. You can even get extra containers off of Amazon and such if you want to do it that way as well. Most dinners are multiple serving so it makes it easier when prepping. It is very tough to cook for only one person.
I usually cook for two days at a time as well. You can substitute with the list below the meal plan as well. This is just a sample if you don't like something definitely change it up. There is also a shopping list below to help get you started.
