This 7 day shredding meal plan is designed to BURN FAT and KICK START YOUR METABOLISM.

If you want visible RESULTS in a short period of time, this is the place to get started! As you decrease
your energy intake (calories), you starts burning fat but not for long; your body is a smart machine, and as
soon as you stay on a lower calorie diet for a longer periods of time, it receives signals to hold on to that
fat and enters starvation mode (click HERE to read more about the benefits of calorie shifting for fat loss).

The 7 Day Shredding Meal Plan! http://www.myfitstation.com/2013/01/14/the-7-day-shredding-meal-plan/

This is why you want to make sure than you are not
1889 41 16640 52
keeping your caloric intake too low for a prolonged
period. It is not in my habit to share somewhat
“depriving” diet plans, but hear me out: sometimes,
it’s good to get out of our comfort zones and get
inspired by the labor of our hard work. Also, this
meal plan is well balanced and will satisfy your
cravings and sweet tooth as well, I don’t like to go
to extremes when it is not necessary.

By no means should you feel hungry on this diet, you should NEVER starve yourself! For optimal
results, once you complete this 7-day meal plan, you can go back to eating a balanced and healthy diet
with a little more calories and a few cheat meals here and there before repeating this 7-day shredding
meal plan. I know that this diet is pretty limited, but I’m sure that you can pull it off for such a short
period of time. It’s not hard because we are hungry, it’s hard because we are used to eating for pure
pleasure, out of boredom, for fun, etc.

Don’t forget to check out the tips listed below!

Meal 1

option 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal + 1/2 banana + 1/2 cup egg whites + 1 cup of berries (on the side)
option 2: 3 egg whites + 1 whole egg + 1 cup spinach + 1/2 cup veggies of your choice (tomatoes,
peppers, mushrooms) + 1 slice of Ezekiel bread or other sprouted grain bread

Caloric intake: This meal plan contains approximately 1500-1600 calories. In order to customize
it, calculate your daily caloric requirements with the calorie calculator and make the necessary
adjustments (ex. if you need more calories, you can increase your portion size or if you require a
smaller amount of calories, you can stick with 4-5 meals instead of 6). Just make sure that you are
eating a minimum of 1200 calories per day for optimal results!
Protein sources: Chicken, turkey, extra lean beef, white or fatty fishes , eggs & egg whites, tofu,
beans and lentils.
Healthy fats: Extra virgin olive oil, nuts & seeds (hazelnuts, almonds, cashews, walnuts, natural
nut butter, chia, sunflower & flax seeds, etc.) avocado, wild salmon & other fatty fish (tuna,

: Vegetable, fruits, beans 16640 52
& lentils and whole grains which we will use as our healthy
carb source since we’ve already listed our fruits, veggies and beans in the food options above
(brown rice, yams, quinoa, oats, whole wheat pasta, barley, bulgur, etc.)
What to drink: Water & tea. If you cannot go without coffee, limit it to one cup a day using stevia
and only a little bit of low-fat milk or almond milk. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning
and before each meal to stay well hydrated and keep you from overeating.
Eating intervals: Since we will be eating 5-6 meals a day, it is important to space them 2-3 hours
apart. This will rev-up our metabolism and provides your body with a steady flow of energy
throughout the day.
How to prepare your lean protein: Your protein should be boiled, grilled, baked or steamed.
Meal 6: Is optional, if you do not feel hungry, feel free to skip it but it’s always good to have some
nutrients available for proper recovery while you are at rest.
Reward yourself after you complete this 7-day diet challenge. Maybe a new piece of clothing or a
refreshing day at the spa…
What to expect: Fat loss & more muscle definition! You can expect to lose 2-3 pound of pure
fat, anything more than that can be water or simply the body cleaning up.
Condiments and seasoning suggestions: Lemon juice, garlic, hot sauce, olive oil, balsamic
vinaigrette, low-sodium soya sauce, & spices (limit your sodium intake).
Preparing your meals: It’s always practical to have something ready in the fridge, especially when
you are following a strict diet like this one. Do your groceries at the beginning of the week and plan
out the week’s menu ahead. You can even start preparing your food and placing it in Tupperware to
make things easier (cooked rice, grilled chicken, turkey patties, sautéed veggies, cut up veggies and
mixed greens ready to make salads, etc.). I also find it practical to separate my meals into portion
sizes so I don’t have to worry about overeating when I get back home from a busy day.
Workout: For optimal results, combine this diet with a solid training program; working out 4-6
times a week (both cardio and strength training). Browse through our WORKOUT category for
ideas, you can also grab your free monthly workout calendars for an extra challenge!
Final note: This is not a starvation diet; you should always eat if you feel hunger. It might take a
day or two to adapt to this way of eating but you should definitely feel energized and lighter every
single day!

Hi Isabella,
I’m looking to lose not necessarily weight, but to shed some of the excess fat on my stomach, back,
etc (I’m working toward abs for Christmas ) If everything checks out, I plan to move on to the
“Body Fuel System” plan. Do you think these plans are still for me if I’m targeting more fat loss
than anything?
Thanks.
(P.S. I should add that I am consistently active six days a week, so I have a solid exercise routine.)

Hi Hannah & welcome to MFS!

It seems like you are already on a good start with your active lifestyle. I definitely think that
the 7-day shredding meal plan could help you lose that extra fat, however you want to make
sure that you aren’t bringing your caloric intake too low, you may want to use the calorie
calculator provided above to get an estimate of your daily requirements depending on you
activity level, stats and goals! Keep us posted on your progress!
ps. I definitely recommend the Body Fuel System for long term fat loss, exercise and
recovery optimization as well as effective nutritional tools and guidance.

me & my hubby are about to start this, but for different reasons. I need to lose weight & tone up, he
needs to build muscle (no weight loss)
is it still appropriate for us both, should I adapt it for him or does he need to up his workouts
Thanks!

Hi Casey,
Welcome to MFS
I would recommend customizing the meal plan for your individual needs. Your hubby
definitely needs to increase the caloric intake, he can use the online calorie counter to get an
idea of how much he needs according to his specific goals. You can both use the meal plan as
a blueprint by making small adjustments to fit your needs!

Hi, with this 7 day shred i just wanted to ask too- i think you have said it is ok to change the meal
plans around isnt it? also in the protein shake option is it ok to add fruit ? is it ok to ad fruit in
general or is it too high in sugar ? do you have a preference for which protein powder? do you have
recipe for simple protein balls that are healthy for a snack?
thank you

Isabella Bazzara Says:


September 3, 2014 at 3:10 pm

Hi Freya! Welcome to MFS


I always advice people to eat REAL FOOD. So after the 7-day shredding meal plan, you
should definitely try including as many, non-processed highly nutritious foods into your diet
(veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, whole grains, etc.). Personally, I life Vega protein or other raw
vegan protein powders that are free from chemicals, whey and other stuff that isn’t too good
for you. Fruits are always good, it’s the artificial sugars that you should worry about. I have
posted a delicious Quinoa protein nut bals recipe here: http://www.myfitstation.com/2012/03

Quick question. Today is the first day of starting this diet and I have two questions; in examples for
1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/2 brown rice, or 1/2 quinoa are these measurements before or after cooking? I’m
assuming it’s 1/2 cup cooked, but I would like to be sure. Also, could I switch the Meal 3 carb with
Meal 5 veggies to have the carb for dinner? Or would that throw the plan out of whack? Please let
me know, Thanks!

August 1, 2014 at 10:06 pm

I try my best to keep a whole foods diet as my lifestyle. This challenge isn’t far off from what I
usually eat except I usually avoid any kind of grains (bread, pasta, rice, oats). For dairy I eat yogurt
3-4 times a week and occasionally have cheese. Also usually eat 4+ meals a day
I feel I have a hard time getting enough calories when eating healthy.
Do you think I will lose weight on this diet even though I’m eating more calories?

Reply

Isabella Bazzara Says:


August 2, 2014 at 7:25 am

Hi Allie, my advice would be to keep eating healthy while staying active. I never recommend
starving yourself or unnecessary deprivation. If you do not eat grains, make sure you include
lots of veggies into your diet (and fruit too). You need those healthy carbs for energy and
weight loss You can adjust this meal plan to fit your individual preferences and take note
on how you feel and the results you get as you go & from there you can make readjustments.
As I mentioned in the comment right below, I would also recommend grabbing a copy of
“The Body Fuel System” if you would like to educate yourself more when it comes to
healthy nutrition for weight loss, performance and genuine health! Keep it up Allie!

It all depends on when you wake up and go to sleep. I would have breakfast within 2 hours of

If you feel hungry, EAT. This meal plan isn’t about starving yourself, it’s about fueling your
body right when you feel hungry.

Hello for meal 3 and 5 can I make my own meal ideas as long as they have 4pz protien and mix of
veggies or greens.

Like a veggie omelette for meal 3 one day. Or a turkey veggie pizza on a piece of whole grain
bread/pita as I can’t eat that much meat in one day ..

And any other breakfast options please .


Am starting this tomorrow .
I already train 6 days a week but need to sort my nutrition out .

Started this diet 2 weeks ago , and 1st week i lost 9 lbs , and gained 4 lbs back during next week , i
think it’s cuz i added flat bread and multi-grain crackers and some yogurt

Reply

Isabella Bazzara Says:


June 13, 2014 at 8:58 am

Hi Zoriana (beautiful name btw.). In many cases, initial weight loss is mostly due to higher
water loss and the body cleaning out… not to say that you haven’t lost fat, but perhaps not 9
pounds. Loosing 5 pounds in two weeks makes much more sense and is also healthier. It’s
fine to have a little bread, however, I would recommend you get your hands on sprouted
whole grain bread and limit your portion size too. You may add more whole rice, sweet
potatoes and oats/quinoa into you diet instead! Always try to incorporate more whole foods
& less processed and package products into your diet

hey i was wondering about something, i just started this diet two days ago and i already feel great..
one thing that im worried about is the chick peas, quinoa and kidney peas quantity since i dont have
a scale. how many cups should i consume of each?
also meal 2, tuna in water, is it the small can or large one? and the asparagus with chicken can be
replaced with broccoli right?

THANKS A BUNCH FOR YOUR HELP

Reply

Isabella Bazzara Says:


June 4, 2014 at 12:02 pm

Hi Diala,
For the quinoa I would recommend 1/2 cooked. As far as the peas and beans I would limit it
to 1/4 a cup! As for the tuna you can go ahead with the 6 oz. can since it actually yields only
3 oz. once drained (approx.).
You can substitute for the veggies of your choice

I followed this plan for 7 days and lost about 6 lbs as well as 3 inches off my waist. Some of it was
surely water weight, but I love the definition, flatter tummy, and the way my clothes are fitting.
Thanks for posting this! I had a higher carb day yesterday, and today I got right back on so that I
can reach my goal of losing 16 lbs and getting back to my high school weight. Thanks! This plan
worked well! And, eaten as laid out, you can really cut calories without being ravenous all of the

Hi, Isabella! Seeking a wee bit of clarification:


Meal 3 — serving size for the tuna; a 3oz can or a 5oz can?
Meal 6 — I’m assuming that the “1/2 yogurt” means 1/2 cup yogurt?
Thanks much!

Reply

Isabella Bazzara Says:


May 24, 2014 at 9:11 am

Meal 3 is: •4 oz. protein + 1 healthy carbohydrate (+ 1 cup veggies: optional), so it’s about 4
oz. of tuna. Yes 1/2 cup should do it. As I like to remind people, this will also depend on your
daily caloric needs for healthy weight loss, you can use the calorie calculator to get an
estimate!

Everybody is different and responds to food in a different manner. If you’ve been eating less
protein previously, then feel free to lower your protein portions and fill up with more
veggies! There are various causes that can be causing your symptoms, I would recommend
focusing your diet around healthy non-processed foods (have less protein of you feel like that
is causing your symptoms). PS. many times when you change your diet for healthier foods,
your body goes through a cleansing process and that can also cause all sorts of digestive
irregularities…

Hi Mariana,
You can switch up the order of the meals, so for example you can have apples or carrots with

meal if it’ really not convenient and have a slightly larger meal then.

You can definitely reduce the portion sizes, we are all unique and have different needs, so

you are eating sufficient protein daily for your body (you can find protein calculators
available online to get an estimate and work from there).

Hi Isabella:)
I just came across your site and it looks really great! I am novice to this whole new lifestyle change
and clean eating. I’m obese and need to shred about 110 lbs. to get to a healthy BMI. I had some
ques. about the shredding diet:
1. How long does the meat last in tupperwares in the fridge? If I make like 5 chicken breasts to
store in fridge and use as protein for meals do they only last 2
Days and go bad??
2. I have a sweet tooth and find I always sabotage my diet when it comes to my cravings. Any
suggestions to curb that?
3. Is this shredding diet safe to do weekly or just for 1 week?
Any info will be helpful. Thank you:)

can last up to 5 days.
2) I’ve got a sweet tooth as well, I hear ya! After my lunch is when it hits me and I like to
have a square or two of dark organic chocolate with some black tea sweetened with stevia. In

the morning I usually eat my oatmeal and I seriously make it taste amazing (using bananas,
1889
nut butter, raisins,41cinnamon, vanilla
16640 52
flavored protein – you see how this can be delicious and
nutritious all at once) so I don’t really feel deprived. I also learn how to make some super
tasty sweets with healthy ingredients (you can browse through my recipes for ideas) and also,
sometimes I’ll just treat myself to something sweet and not so healthy – moderation is KEY!
3) Eating healthy, real, non-processed foods is ALWAY healthy, when I recommend going
back to your regular diet I suggest that you can become more flexible by enjoying treats here
and there, etc.
Final not: if you are looking for a 30-day complete eating guide, I would definitely

Reply

Isabella Bazzara Says:


March 8, 2014 at 12:07 pm

Hi Jane. Good question! The thing with any and every packaged foods is that they will never
be as good for your body as natural real food is. In many cases, there are additional
ingredients in Greek yogurt that make it so creamy – these ingredients are not all natural and
all that good for you to begin with. If you love yogurt, I would suggest going for an organic
natural kind (low-fat isn’t necessary – fat will not make YOU fat and usually when packaged
foods contain less fat they contain more of other ingredients that aren’t healthy, ex.
sweeteners). I would use fruit and nuts for the extra sweetness and crunch. In my opinion,
Greek yogurt should not be eaten multiple times a day if your goal is to be healthy and loose
weight, it’s just not a superfood like it claims to be! In my experience, the best way to lose fat
and feel energized is to stick to REAL food and stay active (and have fun along the way)!

do you prepare it, I read 1/2 cup oats to about 1 cup of water but how/when do you add your egg
whites?? I don’t want to screw that up! Last, if I eat all of this, then say I go and burn about
450-500+ calories at the gym, do I need to eat more to add the 450-500 calories back? If so, what
do you suggest? And what’s best to eat right after a work out? Ugh.. So many questions.. Thank

For the oatmeal, I usually use 1/2 dry oats with 1/2 cup of water and then slowly add in more
liquid until I get the consistency I desire (you can’t go wrong this way)!
You can add the egg white right away or eat them on the side, whatever works best for you.
About your daily required calories, check our the calculator in the post to get an idea of how
much you need depending on you activity level.
And finally, if the breakfast is too much for you so early in the morning, have a smoothie, or
a banana before your workout sessions and you should be fine if you workout quickly after
waking up

Hi April, by less, do you mean you ate less frequently or even smaller meals than the ones

hungry more frequently! Oatmeal (1/2 cup non cooked, egg white too). Meal 3 is: 4 oz.

before but I’m just starting to eat really healthy to loose like 10 lbs. I can loose weight
quick but gain it back because I indulge myself in sweets. My family is big and I’m

I hear you girl! Make sure you use the calorie calculator to get a basic idea of
how much you should be eating on a day-to-day basis. The food in this meal plan
will in fact keep you fuller because it is high in nutrients About the sweet
temptations… do not feel like you cannot ever enjoy a treat every now and then,
this kind of approach can make you crave them even more and result in binge
eating… and weight gain. When creating new habits and a lifestyle that works
for you ((and your goals)), it is important to not categorize foods as “good” or
“bad”, the idea is that you should want to fuel your lovely body with vibrant and
healthy foods so that you can feel AWESOME! Also, having a treat every now
and then is perfectly OK, you can browse through my recipes to find healthyfied
alternatives to some of my favorite treats too… it’s all about creating new habits
that will keep your body and your mind happy! Love yourself and enjoy the
journey

Hi!!! So this is Day 1 of this meal plan! I have lost a total of 90lbs and kept it off for 4 years but
this past year I have gained 20lbs. I have continued to workout 5 days a week but my diet was not
consistent. Although my diet was full of nutritious and healthy foods my portions were out of
control; my excuse “I worked out so I can have 4tbs of peanut butter”. Even though I have
continued my workout routines, you can’t out-train a bad diet. When I came across this meal plan, I
knew this is what I needed to jump start my weight loss again and take control of my portions. I

Meghan, first thing: CONGRATS on your weight loss and new lifestyle! For many people,
diet can be the trickiest part… I get where you’re coming from! It’s very common for people
to overeat, there are many reasons why food can become comforting! Although we know
how and what we “should” be eating, sometimes “life” (and our emotions) get in the way &
sticking to a healthy and balanced diet can become a challenge. In my personal experience, I
find that when things in my life get out of balance, whether I get stuck in a situation I don’t
know how to handle or I feel trapped or unhappy in some aspect of my life: I tend to use food
to comfort myself. Learning how to deal with life’s obstacles and creating a life that is
fulfilling is crucial to weight loss in the long run! That being said, I believe that everybody
can reach their goals while keeping in mind that our mindset is key to any achievement
really! Enjoy fueling your body with healthy and vibrant foods & keep us posted on your
progress

Hey Isabella, i am on day 7 of this diet. And feel great. It truly does work. I’ve lost about 3-4
pounds and can see a better definition with my body. Especially my stomach. I was just wondering.
Would you recommend to keep going? I’ve actually gotten really used to eating like this. And
actually enjoy eating this way as well.

You go girl! Thanks for sharing your progress, It’s always great to hear back from you guys!

There is absolutely nothing wrong16640 52
with eating healthy on a day-to-day basis (surprise!). You
just want to make sure that you are getting enough calories daily, especially if you’re training
hard…you want to fuel that body adequately and have enough energy to recover and
feel/look your very best! and of course, feel free to throw in a little treat every now and then,
it’s a lifestyle & you don’t want to feel like you are not allowed to have a little something that
is “not-so-healthy” from time to time. When eating clean becomes a habit, you actually crave
less and less of the processed junk and you actually start getting excited about things like
oatmeal, nuts, dark chocolate, kale :O I’m happy to hear that you’re enjoying eating this way,
keep it up Devin!

I’ve read the question but yet have seen anyone comment on weather or not they have lost any
weight on this plan. Just how much weight can you lose while on this plan?

Reply

Isabella Bazzara Says:


February 8, 2014 at 6:12 am

Hi Michelle! It all depends on your current eating habits (and other factors)… this meal plan
is very practical when you are trying to build new healthy habits. You can use the calorie
counter found in the meal plan guidelines to get an estimate of your needs depending on your
specific goal. I usually eat “clean” on a regular basis but there are times when I get off track
and use this meal plan to get back on the wagon, cleanse and reenergize my body… this can
result in 1-3 pounds of weight loss (in my experience). But there are many other benefits to
fueling your body adequately, from feeling happier to having more energy and motivation to
workout, it’s definitely a win-win!

Hi
My main question is, are the results from this meal plan based on combination of foods? do we get
the same results if we take a certain food from one meal and combine it with a food from another?
Also, with the exception of the the last few days, I train very often. I usually do heavy weight lifting
anywhere from 4 to 6 times a week. My primary reason for wanting to follow this is to help
improve my muscle tone. Is this plan appropriate for someone who trains as often as i do?

Thanks! :):)

Isabella Says:
November 14, 2013 at 3:00 am

Hi Angie,
The 7-day shredding meal plan can serve you as a great guideline, however, I do recommend
personalizing it depending on your own goals. For example, you can use an online calorie
calculator and protein calculator to make sure that you are getting all the energy and nutrients
that you need. As you know, we all come in different shapes and sizes and our goals are not
identical. Once you know what your body needs to perform optimally and to get the best
results you can make the proper adjustments. For example, I myself need to eat
approximately 2100 calories per day to support my daily activity and workouts and to build
strong muscles… not that a random calculator will give you the straight answer but with trial
and error you can find the perfect fit for yourself. Hope this answers your question.

This meal plan should serve you as a guide, you don’t need to follow it by the letter. If you
have a protein shake daily, you can remove 1 meal from the plan and replace it with the
protein shake. You can have another meal after your shake (1-3 hours later, depending on the
ingredients in your shake, if it’s just water and protein powder, you might want to have
another meal sooner than later). Hope this helps

Hi, I am an 19 year old male who has always struggled with weight. I am now at about 14-16%
bodyfat. My goal is yo eventually reach 8-10% bodyfat, while maintaining a good amount of
muscle. The ideal thing would be a similar body type to that of a physique competitor.
I am far from my goal but have seen some good results by following a diet similar to this for about
2 months now and went from 163lbs to now 151. The difference was that I weighed everything out
and had a cheat meal every week. My diet was written by a “trainer” friend of mine but lately i have
been having problems going to the bathroom and am getting a bit worried. So I’ve decided to try a
new diet.
My first question would be your thoughts on what I should do about my current diet.

Next, weighing out my food (especially veggies: broccoli, asparagus ect.) is a method that I really
found efficient vs measuring it in cups.
So my question here would be if there is a way to measure the veggies and other food groups
(walnuts) by weighing them out(ounces) instead of measuring it in cups?
And also, if this is a diet I should only follow for the 7 days or for a longer period of time(I.e a
month or two)?

I plan on starting this shred tomorrow. But the only thing is, besides burning calories from typical

also burn an extra 500 to 800 calories because I breastfeed…. do you have any suggestions or

My supply will sometimes bike whenever I drink extra protein. Thank you in advance

Hi Cerra, I am definitely not an expert when it comes to breastfeeding. You can have a look

But since you are both working out, being active + breastfeeding you will definitely need
more energy. Make sure you are eating enough and adjust the meal plan according to your

90mg sodium, 10g fiber, 9g sugar, 13g protein and 10g whole grains. I do put fat free skim milk in
– but only enough to wet it – I don’t drink the milk that’s leftover in the bowl.

Hi Jade, it seems like this would be a good alternative (feel free to drink up the leftover milk
;)). As long as your meals are well balanced, you should be good to go, maybe add a piece of
fruit to the mix. Also, whenever you have the option to eat unprocessed foods, that’s
definitely what I would recommend and the goal behind this 7-day meal plan…

Hey I’ve been eating one meal a day for the longest due to work I’m scared switching to 5 meals a

Hi Daniel, eating smaller meals more frequently won’t make you gain weight, it will
actually give you more energy throughout the day and aid your body to burn calories
more efficiently. If you are used to eating only 1 larger meal per day, I suggest you start
by splitting that meal in half and maybe adding 1-2 snacks throughout the day. Once
you are comfortable with that, introduce another mini meal to your routine and so
forth…

Hi Gail, I believe that you can find most of these ingredients at your local grocery store, if

my favorite supplements and superfoods that will allow you to order these items online, stay

Been on this meal plan for three days and it ROCKS. I can already FEEL and SEE results. yay!

However because I am cutting out alcohol I am drinking two glasses of Coke Zero with dinner. Is
this OK? I believe it helps me not wanting that glass of wine with my dinner.

thanks so much for this life changing meal plan. will do it often@

Isabella Says:
September 5, 2013 at 1:28 am

That’s good to hear! Coke is definitely not something that I would recommend on this meal
plan (or any meal plan for that matter), however, I do believe that everybody needs to do their
best and take health and fitness one step at the time. It can be difficult to change all of our
bad habits all at once, and it sounds like you are doing pretty well and getting some nice
results already. So keep doing your best while slowly creating new habits that you can
actually stick to. Perhaps you can try drinking some mineral water with a splash of citrus with
your meals instead, wine might actually be better for you than coca cola too!

Hi Claire… I love soup, it’s definitively a great option. I don’t have any recipes up on the
blog but one really delicious and creamy recipe I love to make (and only takes about 5
minutes) is my simple broccoli soup. Simply bring 4 cups of water to boil with some broth
(cube) and add a cup or 2 of broccoli + 2-3 garlic pieced. Cook for only 3 minutes or so and
let it cool a little before blending it until it’s nice and smooth (do NOT overcook the
broccoli). You can also use some extra seasoning to taste. This soup is so good and basically,
all you are eating is broccoli…and water There is not much protein in here so you can
have a protein serving on the side. I did post a vegetarian chili recipe with beans here:

Hi Lockie, basically you can eat clean all the time but during your 7-day shred, you might be
limiting your caloric intake. So once you are done with the seven days, you can have a few
days where you eat a little more calories before going back to the 7-day shred! For example,
if you are eating just enough calories to support fat loss during 7 days, I’d recommend eating

because I’d be at the gym? Or does it not matter?

Reply

Isabella Says:
August 8, 2013 at 11:44 am

Hi Hannah!
Ideally, you want to prepare your meals/lunches to go during this 7-day meal plan. It’s easy to
back a piece of fruit and some nuts for example if you are in a hurry, and this way you will
still be feeding your body regularly and providing it with healthy nutrients. If you have
absolutely no options but to skip a meal, make sure you do not binge during the next meal
and than you are getting sufficient energy (calories) for optimal results (no less than 1200
calories). I would recommend eating your last meal no later than 2 hours before you go to
bed unless you are feeling HUNGRY. In this case, grab a lite and healthy snack! Hope this
helps

Hi Andrea, although protein is an important factor in your diet, if you are looking to lose
body fat, I highly recommend focusing on eating whole foods (real food).This means:
veggies (a lot of them), nuts & seeds, lean protein, whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, bulgur,
etc.), healthy fats (olive oil, fatty fish, avocado…) and let’s not forget water. You want to
avoid processed foods and hidden sugars as well. I think that you are getting enough protein
for you body weight and size, just make sure you don’t over do it with the HIITs, it takes
your body at least 24-48 hours to recover from this type of intensive training. You might also
want to try intermittent fasting to boost your fat loss and hold on to those hard earned
muscles, you can watch this video for more info: http://www.youtube.com

Thanks! I do eat very healthily (one cheat meal per week), and drink at least a gallon of
water per day. On days I do HIIT it’s for cardio and I do 20min HIIT and 10-20min low
impact depending on whether it is also a strength training day or not. I will look into
the video and also look up intermittent fasting. Thanks! I calculated my macronutrients
and protein intake on this plan and tweaked it a little to better fit me. I’m starting today.
Will keep you updated!

Hello, have recently purchased the product. I have not started yet, still completing the 7 day.
I have measured my body weight with the formula you have provided but it works out at
approximate 53.0 grams per serving each protein serving. If I’m going to make the receipts i dont
understand what portions I’m supposed to have.
Please provide me with an address which I can contact to ascertain details if required.

Hi Amber, you don’t have to follow the meal plan to the letter, instead use it as a guideline.
For example if you didn’t have that banana in your oatmeal, perhaps you’ll have a piece of
fruit later on as a snack. Meal 6 is optional so you definitely should not be eating it if you
don’t feel hungry!

On meal 4 and meal 6, it isnt listed what you should have only the options. (example: on Meal 5 it
has 4 oz protein + 1-2 cups veggies, then lists 3 examples of what you could eat, on 4 & 6 it only
lists the examples) I hope that made sense, i think it confused me!! lol

Hey Stephanie. I understand, the reason why for some meals I provide examples is for you to
be able to make your own modifications depending on your preferences, it gives you some
guidelines and more options. Meal 4 for examples gives you just a few options that you can
chose from but I believe that it’s enough for a 7 day meal plan.

You can definitely keep it up, just make sure you are getting all of your nutrients and caloric

because I don’t want people to feel like they cannot enjoy their favorite treats and foods on a
regular basis. But overall, this is a well-rounded nutritional plan that can be followed on a
daily basis, of course, you might want to enjoy an extra treat here and there but besides from
that, I think that it’s a great plan that can be adjusted to everybody’s individual needs!

Ooooh! So, depending on you calorie needs, the portions may vary a little? For
instance, meal 2 might be 3 oz protein and .5-1 cup veggies, or meal 4 might be half an
apple and peanut butter…. is this correct? That might be a little less daunting- I loved
the plan because I can’t really do big meals (but gotta have my variety!) but this
seemed like a little too much food for me. I would also like to know how important the
order in which we eat these meals is.

Once you have an estimate of your caloric needs you can play with the portion
size, that’s correct. You can follow the meal order above, once again, you might
want to slightly adjust it depending on when you are working out. For example, a
woman who is 5’8 and works out twice a day might need more calories that a
sedentary woman who is 5’2 and is looking to lose 10 pounds. Follow the
guidelines in the article and you should see results quickly!
