the timing of your workouts is really up to you. However you should be eating every two to three hours giving yourself at least and hour after you eat before you start to exercise.

the recovery formula does have a little creatine in it, so I don’t think it would be necessary to add any more if you are not looking for real bulk.

The diet can be tricky if you food choices are limited. I would do either a protein shake or egg whites for breakfast, soup or salad for lunch, and you can get creative with your dinners as long as you stick to lean meats, whole grain pasta and rice, and be sure to eat your veggies!

1. I will be purchasing the Recovery Formula, the Health Formula, and the Multi-vitamin. My goal with P90X is to get bigger but not BULKY. Is it necessary that i buy the creatine suppliment??

2. I am a college student and was trying to meet the P90X diet but am finding that it can be expensive so i was wondering if you had a suggested diet that could be a consistent one week to week that is simple but still will give my body what it needs because i dont want to start the workout plan and not get anywhere because my diet is off ya know?…

you don’t have to stuff yourself silly!! Some of those recipes are for 8 people! Make the meals as you were doing and freeze the rest for the next week. I don’t like that extremely full feeling and I think it discourages people by making them think they have ruined their diet. Eat until your full. If you can’t finish, no big deal. That just means that you will be eating less calories which is a good thing. You may find that further into your workout, you might eat your whole plate!

you can make the plan fit your needs, yes. The meal plan does have a lot of recipes that require a lot of ingredients that some of us just don’t buy every week. Just make sure to make healthy choices.

You might also want to look into the portions approach. There is a little more thought required this way, but you can create your own meals with the approved foods list.

for the portions approach, you should have a whole protein bar everyday. If you want to have a bar again for a snack, you should then eat half of it. For example, if you were use that servings chart as a check list, you would have your whole bar and check the “bar” box. You still have a single snack left. If you want your snack to be a bar, you would eat half and check the “single snack” box.

The answer to your next question would be that cottage cheese can be a double snack OR a serving of dairy. You can have both separately.

the nutrition plan will tell you what size fruit is a serving. For example, a medium apple would be a serving of fruit. Sometimes it can be hard to say what is a medium apple as opposed to a large apple, but I would just use your own judgement.
