Eating Plan
Forget counting calories while on the 21 Day Fix. Color coded containers make it a breeze to follow a healthy meal plan. The best part is you can still eat the things you love…chocolate and wine included!
The eating plan breaks everything down for you, but I will give you a basic idea of how it works. First you figure out your calorie range based on your current weight. The formula to do so is included in the guide. Each range has specific color coded container counts that belong to different food groups.
I fall between 1,200 – 1,499 calories, meaning I can eat 3 green,
2 purple, 4 red, 2 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange, and 2 teaspoons.
The color coding is as followed:
Green= vegetables
Purple= fruits
Red= protein (note: 1 scoop of Shakeology counts as 1 red container)
Yellow= carbs
Blue= healthy fats and cheeses
Orange= nuts, seeds, olives, dressings
Teaspoon= nut butters and oils (note: actual teaspoon is not included with the program)
Once you know your range and number of each container you’re allowed for the day, all you have to do is fill the containers with food, eat, and see results. The color coding makes packing meals easy and you can mix and match containers to make a balanced meal. For example, my veggie tofu scramble would count as 1 red 1 green ½ tsp. Mixing containers allows for endless possibilities!
