Thank You! Hi Ann, You can count the gray tsps either way used for cooking or not. If you do use them as dressing for salads I would measure them out with your tsp to make sure you get the right amount. For the cooking spray, I would say it is negligible amount and not worry about counting a container for the spray oil. Hi Bethany, my weight is which makes, my calories somewhere around , so where do i fit in the container level chart? I weigh and I calculate calories. Do I round up and go on plan B or round down and go to plan A?
Hi Bethany, I am hoping you can help me out. My beachbody coach recommended that i go up to plan B. I currently weigh If i do the fixate calculation I should have 1, cals a day. To maintain weight I should have 1, My worry is that if I jump up to B, I will continue to maintain, or gain weight. What do you think? Since your measurements went down but your weight remained the same you probably replaced some fat with muscle, which takes up less space than adipose tissue.
I know it can be frustrating to not see the scale going down but it is not always the best indicator of progress. If you took before pictures I would suggest taking a couple photos and check out how you are progressing.
Images, results you see in the mirror, and how you feel are often the best indicator of progress. It has so many small amouts of ingredients that could fit into a number of categories except for the obvious fruit serving.
Hi Anita, Sometimes you just have to do the best you can and just estimate with partial containers. However, everything I look at for this system has the lowest calorie range you can do How do people like me make this system work for them?
Hi Genie, I always tell people the last 10lbs are the hardest so when you are dealing with the last five you got to be really dialed in on nutrition and workouts.
I would be happy to lose a pound a month when that and be able to keep it off. I have the same question! Is there anyway to adjust the plans to work for this? So if you go to low for to long its not good for our bodies.
Hope you are well. For example, can I cook all my veggies and fats, e. Are there any meal prep examples that you can share? Also, per the 21 day fix calculation I currently fall in the — calorie range. However, my fitness pal says different — gives me less calories, Which should I follow? Hi Jennifer, Meal prep can be a life saver for time and energy and you can definitely do that with your veggies and any other foods you like. I would follow the 21 Day Fix calculation, myfitnesspal while great for tracking calories I have found always under estimates what people need when following the 21 DAy FIx program.
Hi, I am in the calorie bracket. I am vegan. Per the plan I should eat 5 green, 3 red, 3 yellow etc. It is Do I have to cut down and how much! Hi Samantha, What are you entering for serving sizes on myfitnesspal? I would follow the plan how it is laid out and keep track of your progress. If you find yourself gaining after a couple weeks then you may want to cut back. What are my color container numbers?
According to the chart you would start in the last bracket. As you lose be sure to readjust the numbers as you go. Chris, did you find the count? What can I do to help accelerate my already very slowed metabolism? What foods should I avoid or eat more of? Would it be okay to juice all my vegetables and then drink them? Or do I need to eat them whole? The foods from the 21 Day Fix is a great place to start as you get lots of leans proteins, veggies, some fruit, and slow digesting complex carbs.
The downside to juicing all of your vegetables is the loss of fiber which keeps you feeling full and lots of other benefits and you will lose some of the vitamins and minerals too so I would caution against it.
Fruit is not something that is easily found this time of year. Can I swap a green for a purple instead? I am going to be traveling on vacation and plan to eat out healthy in a week but want to make sure I stay on track.
Hi Michele, Once you have been using the containers for a couple weeks it is pretty easy to start eyeballing different foods. They give you about 40 different ordering options of different popular cuisines and the corresponding container amounts. Hi Lisa, Some foods you do not have to measure in the containers. These foods are listed in the meal guide and noted next to them as serving sixe. Mostly odd shaped foods and sticky stuff that you do not necessarily want to have to use containers for.
Hops this helps. Thank you so much for all of this helpful info! I am just getting ready to start with containers and I have a question! What if I generally eat calories in that column? Hi Robin, Even eating calories daily you should still be creating a calorie deficit with diet and exercise so you will lose weight. Hi, I am currently pounds, which will put me into the 1st category of calories. I am currently nursing an infant and always feel hungry as it is.
I did the BOD workouts through my pregnancy but now I want to add in the nutrition to lose the rest of the baby weight. My question is what bracket should I be in to safely lose weight 10 more pounds without affecting my milk supply?
Thank you in advance!! Somewhere between the second and third category depending upon how you feel. You should be able to piece everything together from the posts I have on this site under the 21 Day Fix category.
If you are a Beachbody On Demand member all the program documents can be found in digital format under the Program Materials tab. I have a question. Do you count calories or just use the containers in each color? Hi Cathy, I would start with 8 green, 5 purple, 7 red, 5 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange, and 8 tsps. This is what the 21 Day Fix extreme meal plan gives for the 2, to calories. If you find yourself hungry or losing to much weight, you can always add in a couple of containers.
So if I am and I use the calculations it puts me at calories…. I do not see that on the chart what do I go by? I would probably go with 8 green, 5 purple, 7 red, 5 yellow, 1 blue, 1 orange, and 8 tsps. This is the range given at the extreme program for 2, to calories. Hi Chelly, Yes, the diet alone should create a calorie deficit without the workouts.
Plus generally speaking the diet is a very healthy way of eating. I need to modify the diet because I am pre-diabetic. I need to know the number of calories for each food group for a calorie diet. You could use something like myfitnesspal to get the exact number of calories in a food. It would be 4 instead of 3. Just be sure to finish all of your other containers too. Thank you for all the information.
My question is,what happens after the 21 days? Is there a way to alter this into a long term plan? Hi Karine, Once you hit your goal weight you can move to a weight maintenance calorie level.
The program is 21 days because studies show this is how long it takes habits to form so you should want to continue eating healthy and the right amount of food. The allowed foods on the 21 Day Fix Extreme plan is stricter.
I am pregnant and have done the 21 Day Fix twice and love the way it helps me stay discipline. I really want to eat healthy during the pregnancy, but my pre-pregnancy weight is which comes out to 2, calories a day I did not subtract the like I normally do which always puts me in the first column of your chart but now it would seem like I should eat the containers listed in the far right column, but that looks like a whole LOT of food for me.
Am I understanding that correctly? It just seems like so much food…. Hi Marisa, If you have concerns I would talk to your ob. I actually ate a little more than the recommend amount of calories and still gained the recommended amount of weight for my size. Hi there. I am currently doing the P90x3 I believe I am pounds. The thing that confuses me about the portion control containers is how am I suppose to know how much to eat?
Like if I want to put broccoli, mushrooms, tomatos, kale, spinach all in one pot. So to be making things on my own, it leaves me kind of confused. But how do I know how many veggies I need, how many fats, I need and etc. Thank you :D. Hi Kiona, Yes, always round up to And, for the containers I think you might be overthinking it. Basically the portion control containers measure your food by volume. When you add up all your containers for the day you will be around the calorie target that the chart shows.
Hope this helps, Bethany. Should I drop it down to cals? Thanks for your help!! Hi Marilyn, Yes you would want to drop down to the level according to the nutrition guide. What about my own recipes? Say meat lasagna or chicken and rice where there are proteins carbs and veggies all in one? How do i convert those to containers? Hi May, You would just measure the ingredients in the containers and then calculate the containers based on the amount of servings.
I would like to lose weight and it says that I should be consuming calories. I weigh pounds. Will I be able to lose weight consuming calories? Can I walk instead of doing the workouts, and how long would be the equivalent? My fitness pal says calories a day but my calculations for this says That is a big difference!
Does that sound correct for lbs? Hi KAren, You can do a walking routine with the container portion control system. Just make gradual improvements and you will see a difference. Myfitnesspal calculation seems to tell everyone that number, seems more accurate to me.
Hello, could you please tell me what the estimated amount of calories is per container…. I know the whole point of the program is to not have to count calories, but I am finding that many of my foods are not container friendly and it would be really helpful to know about how many calories there are per serving per container.
For example, I like to eat a spinach wrap at lunch. They are pretty large and I know 1 tortilla counts as 1 carb container, but these wraps are bigger than a tortilla and I want to know if it should be counted as 2 or even 3 servings. I want to know if I eat a slice of cheese instead of shredded cheese do I need to only eat half or will one slice still count as one serving, etc.
I would guess a yellow container would be about calories, a blue around a You could always do partial container counts too. I am new but not so new to the containers. I understand the concept. Here are my questions: — Can I use chocolate almond milk for my smoothie and how do I count that?
I do not use Shakeology. How do you count a scoop of protein powder? I am having a total knee replacement April 28th and need to get some weight off quickly. HI ELizabeth, If you are following the 21 Day Fix diet plan how it is laid out, chocolate milk is not an option due to the sugar content. Approved bread is a yellow container. Lots of the recipes you see on pinterest will give you a Fix breakdown of containers or if you need to, you can always measure the ingredients out in your own containers to get a count.
Most protein powders count as a red container. Good Luck! I am switching from Isagenix because this makes more sense re whole foods and exercise. They have more protein, fat and carbs than shakology.
How do I figure out what they are equal to? Also can I have a shakology plus an isagenix meal replacement in one day? My husband and I bought a house and we had some major renovations going on so I stopped the workouts.
Now, 5 months later I am still not doing the workouts but I am really motivated to begin the exercises. Hi Krissi, Congratulations!

How to Figure Out How Many Calories to Eat Most Beachbody programs come with a calculator that you can use to figure out how many calories you should be eating. We also offer this handy online calculator. Sometimes, people micromanage these numbers by increasing or decreasing their daily calorie intake based on the activities for the day.
Your best bet is to account for exercise in broad strokes, like the calculations above. I know it feels official, with all those digits and equations and such, but even the most complex calorie equation will miss countless factors: ethnicity, air temperature, illness, how hard you exercise that day, stress, unexplained shifts in your metabolism, hormone imbalances, etc.
So use that number, which will probably fall somewhere between 1, and 3, calories, as a starting point. If it works, swell. Hold steady until it stops working. Try dropping another calories for 7 to 10 days. You generally need to do a little more than just hit your calorie deficit to lose weight in a healthy fashion. If your low-calorie diet is packed with refined sugars and flours , it might be wreaking havoc on your hormones, particularly insulin, which can inhibit results.
Again, results will be hindered. An important key to weight management is to eat a healthy, balanced diet. One of its most popular programs is the 21 Day Fix, which incorporates a portion-controlled eating plan and a series of workouts. The Beachbody 21 Day Fix is a diet and exercise program that promises quick weight loss of up to 15 pounds. The diet plan emphasizes whole foods without unprocessed ingredients, which are often rich in nutrients while also being lower in calories. The plan also encourages 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise a day, which is helpful for weight loss and heart health.
This day diet plan is relatively safe; however, some people may find they're not getting enough daily calories to convert to energy for exercise. Weight loss is possible on the 21 Day Fix, but since it's not meant to be a long-term diet plan, some people may regain the weight that was lost once the diet is over, should they return to their usual eating habits. By portioning foods into color-coded containers and exercising, weight loss is promising, but probably not to the promised degree.
Experts dislike the short-term focus and suggest some may find it too restrictive. On the 21 Day Fix, people first calculate their daily calorie needs based on current weight and using a formula supplied by Beachbody. This calorie target then determines the number of servings to eat from the color-coded portion-control containers.
Each brightly colored, reusable container is designed to help you eat the right amount of different foods at meals so you'll learn healthy eating habits for long-term weight maintenance. Grocery shopping guides and meal planning worksheets are also provided. Keep in mind, however, that the system will require a consistent time commitment as does any healthy eating program in order to make it work.
Beachbody's Shakeology shakes are not required for the program, but the products are heavily promoted. They are also expensive. The price is likely to be higher than the cost of making your own protein smoothies at home. The Beachbody 21 Day Fix plan comes with access to a Beachbody coach and online support.
Having your coach check in with you can help with motivation and accountability. But the coaching relationship is based on your continued purchases. If you don't plan to invest in Beachbody products for the long term, you may want to make sure you have other friends and family members to support you in your weight-loss journey. A workout plan is also an integral part of the 21 Day Fix. It includes six different minute workouts. You'll do at least one every day.
Many Beachbody workouts are led by well-respected trainers with years of experience in exercise and motivation. And while many are quite challenging, the company recommends the 21 Day Fix for beginners or for customers who are overweight. The 21 Day Fix eating plan includes recommendations for daily calorie counts ranging from 1, to 2, Beachbody says that if your calculation indicates you need fewer than 1, daily calories, you should round up and consume 1, calories per day ; for counts above 2,, round down.
If you are gluten-free or vegetarian , you can adapt the 21 Day Fix eating plan to meet your dietary needs. Recommended foods include gluten-free and meat-free options. If you already know that you need to follow a specific diet, this may not be the best program for you, because you won't get professional or personalized nutritional advice.
Similarly, if you have an injury or medical condition that requires you to modify movement, you may do better with a qualified personal trainer or coach who can guide your exercise program safely. The 21 Day Fix eating plan calls for three meals and three snacks a day, made up of the number of servings determined by your calorie need.
However, the portion sizes are quite small, which means that some people may find they're not getting enough daily calories, even for just the 21 days of the plan. Fruits and Vegetables. Like all Beachbody plans, the 21 Day Fix recommends eating plenty of whole fruits and vegetables.
A serving is 1 cup. Depending on your calorie count, you will eat three to six servings of vegetables and two to four servings of fruit per day. Lean Proteins.
