I would just try and swap things out if you would like a little variety. For example, you could try a different lean meat for dinner with different veggies and maybe some whole wheat pasta. Maybe chicken parmesan made with chicken breast, part skim cheese, tomato sauce on top of some whole wheat pasta. Or you could do a lean cube steak chopped up with peppers and onions served on a bed of brown rice, seasoned to taste...a little! For snacks I would stick to fruit or dairy like low fat yogurt or string cheese. A protein bar or half sized protein shake could be good for a snack too. -Mike Hello Andrew,

I am a level II phase I, and I was just wondering if I could get some guidance as to meal ideas and snack options for my category. I've been eating: Breakfast- Banana/yogurt with fruit inside Snack- Nothing/fruit Lunch (within 30 mins. after workout)- Peanut Butter Sandwich (with wheat bread)/Tuna/green beans/turkey sandwich (on wheat bread) and fruit Snack- Fruit Dinner- Chicken/Green beans/Steak/Brown Rice/Peas Snack- Fruit (apple/banana/yogurt BEVERAGES- Coffee in the morning, water throughout the day/juice I guess I'm just curious if I'm on the right track with this and make sure I'm eating what's right to see results. it is my second week using the p90x and I have never wanted to work out as much or as consistently as I do with this workout.

I would try and use something natural, even if it is sugar. Once you start venturing towards artificial sweeteners, your body forgets how to process natural sugars that you should have and that can cause weight gain after prolonged use. Go ahead and sweeten a little, just a little!! Things like this need to be used in moderation. -Mike Hi Tracy,

I did not think I was allowed to eat it. Are there any other options for a sweetenerbesides fruit. Maybe a pinch of brown sugar? Hmmmmm I know no sugars allowed. This is hard! Need more options. Am I ever going to be able to eat some of the foods I love. Just a little? I was craving oatmeal last Saturday. I did not think I was allowed to eat it.

You certainly eat the same things over and over, just be sure you are fulfilling the servings chart each day. Eggs are just one option for protein. You don't have to eat them at all if you don't want to. There are other foods you can choose from to get protein. Bars and whey protein are great to have around just incase you don't have any chicken or steak in the freezer. -Mike Hi Heather!

I was wondering if its ok to eat the same things over and over as I am a pretty picky eater. I will not eat pork, fish, or eggs. I will however eat all veggies and fruit. The eggs seem like an important part of the first phase especially, so should I just double up on other things or substitute protein bars? Cant wait to start! Thanks!

Many people have this same issue!!! Try doing a half a recipe. You may find that down the road you will have a bigger appetite as your metabolism speeds up and you need more and more energy for your workouts. You can try a cup of oatmeal, turkey bacon, and some fruit. If you are a level 1 in phase 1, the oatmeal will cover your only serving of carbs you are allowed for the day. You might not want that. Check out the portions approach for more ideas. -Mike I know it’s a lot!! Many people have this same issue!!! Try doing a half a recipe.

I am a fan of eggs, but my goodness when I was making our first cheese scramble I could barely choke down 6 egg whites, much less 10. My girlfriend may have been able to eat about 2. Are there other breakfast ideas that don't use egg? We are just starting p90x.
