I get lots of questions about portion control with clean eating! I try not to focus so much on calories as the fact that you are eating clean, whole foods. The problem comes when you are eating too much from one category and not enough from another so you want to make sure to balance. This is just a brief overview as a guideline. I try to eat 5-6 meals a day, with a protein as part of at least 4 of those, a veggie at least 3 and a fruit with 2. This varies for different people based on your weight, weight loss goals, and needs. You do NOT want to limit your calories to less than 1000 ever. This will just put your body into starvation mode and cause the opposite effect you are hoping for! If you really struggle with portion control and knowing what to eat, the 21 Day Fix is an amazing FOOL PROOF program to provide just that along with 30 minute workouts!
Did you know that you can approximate your portion sizes even when you are not able to weigh or measure your food? This is a great way to make sure you're not overdoing it!
Again, this is just a guideline, and doesn't include everything, but it's a great start! Feel free to ask me any questions you might have about cleaning up your nutrition, your specific needs, and the best way to get started TODAY!
I am officially on week one of the 2nd month of Insanity MAX:30 and am finally cracking down on my nutrition. For me, this is the hardest part. I can workout all day, but really reigning in what I'm putting in my body is a struggle. When I see it written out, I am much more likely to stick with the plan so meal planning is KEY for me!
The beauty of this program is that it incorporates easy to follow nutrition with portion control color containers to make it fool proof.
For my calorie bracket, this is my goal number of containers for each day:
Red (protein): 4
Green (veggies): 3
Purple (fruits): 2
Yellow (carbs): 2
Blue (healthy fats): 1
Orange (seeds and dressings): 1
Teaspoons (oils and nut butters): 2
I write out my meal plan in PENCIL then check off the list to make sure I have the correct number of servings from each category. Makes it easy and you know you are getting the right portions and ratios for your body!
Beachbody's newest EXTREME program will be released on MONDAY, February 2 and is expected to sell out FAST. I am so excited for this program because it is designed to get you in the best shape of your life in just 21 days. That is INCREDIBLE. Check out these details and amazing results!
What is 21 Day Fix EXTREME?
The original 21 Day Fix was designed to make losing weight simple and eliminate the need to ever diet again. That's why it became America's #1 fitness and nutrition program. Now, get seriously shredded in the shortest time possible with 21 Day Fix EXTREME, created by Autumn Calabrese. This breakthrough 21-day fitness and nutrition program combines simple portion control, clean eating, and extreme 30-minute workouts to deliver a body that is hard, lean, and defined.
Who should buy the program?
21 Day Fix EXTREME is ideal for those with a dramatic short-term weight loss deadline--such as an upcoming vacation, photo shoot, or other big event. It's an excellent next step for 21 Day Fix graduates ready for a new challenge or graduates of other extreme programs like P90X, Insanity, and FOCUS T25. Fix EXTREME is also great for those who don't have much weight to lose, but want to get shredded and see abs; those with a "no BS" attitude toward workouts and nutrition; or anyone who doesn't want to count calories, weigh their food, or follow complicated recipes.
What is the difference between 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix EXTREME?
21 Day Fix was Beachbody's first program that placed equal emphasis on fitness and nutrition, to deliver up to 15 pounds of weight loss in just 21 days. 21 Day Fix EXTREME takes both the fitness and nutrition to the next level to help you get seriously shredded in just 21 days. Both programs are based on simple fitness (no complicated choreography), and simple nutrition based on portion control.

What is this 21 day program that sounds too good
to be true? I've talked to one of the coaches in the original test
group, and was told that he was never hungry, in fact sometimes had to
make himself be sure to get in enough food.
What IS the 21 Day Fix? 21
Day Fix is THE fitness and nutrition program to help you lose up to 15
pounds in 21 days. Each workout is approximately 30 minutes a day, 7
days a week. The unique nutrition plan uses specifically portioned food
storage containers that eliminate the guesswork from portion control -
no weighing, measuring, or counting calories, carbs or points. If it
fits in the container, you can eat it. And you'll lose weight. When
eaten in the right quantities, there are no foods that are off limits.
