21 Day Fix EXTREME Meal Plan

This is my second week on 21 Day Fix Extreme. I did well with my eating last week by just keeping track of my food with writing it down. This plan is very specific for how much of each different food group you can have in your diet so I had to figure out a good way to plan and keep track of exactly what I'm eating.

I worked long and hard to come up with this one so hopefully it will be easier in the future and hopefully it will help you too!

As a guideline if you are not familiar with the 21 Day Fix programs:
Red= PROTEIN
Green= VEGETABLES
Purple= FRUIT
Yellow= CARBS (BROWN RICE, QUINOA, SWEET POTATOES, OATMEAL)
Blue= HEALTHY FATS (AVOCADO, CHEESE, RAW NUTS, HUMMUS)
Orange= DRESSINGS/SEEDS
Tsp= OLIVE OIL, COCONUT OIL, PEANUT BUTTER, ALMOND BUTTER

This particular plan is for the 1500-1799 calorie bracket since I am nursing my 5 month old baby girl and need to get extra healthy calories for her :) The 1200 calorie bracket= 3 green, 2 purple, 4 red, 2 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange and 2 tsp.

This program is amazing and has already helped me lose 4 pounds in just over a week. 30 minute workouts and super cute colored containers to figure out exactly how much a portion is.  For reference on the containers, here are the approximate sizes:
RED: 3/4 cup
GREEN: 1 1/4 cup
PURPLE: 1 1/4 cup
YELLOW: 1/2 cup
BLUE: 1/4 cup
ORANGE: 2 TBSP

Some recipes from this plan:
Turkey meatloaf
Salmon
Avocado rice
