Container System for the 21 Day Fix

I'm preparing to start the 21 Day Fix tomorrow and wanted to be sure to get my nutrition in order.  This program makes that pretty easy to do with color coded containers that give you exact portion sizes.

I'm currently in a weight range that I am okay with.  Could I lose a couple pounds?  Probably.  But I'm actually going to do this while eating the calories I need to maintain my weight.  The nice thing is that I was able to fit the snacks that I already eat into this program quite easily.  The changes that I'll need to make will be to cut down on carbs (not a surprise) and to decrease my peanut butter intake.  So, although I am in the "maintain weight" category, I will need to cut down my carbs and healthy fats, as well as increase my vegetables.  I imagine that this should help with those couple pounds that could go, but we'll see.

I've decided to change my breakfasts so that I can save most of my carbs for dinner time.  That is my heaviest meal.  I'll probably make eggs in the morning and throw in some mushrooms and spinach or some other vegetable.

Lunch every day will be my Shakeology.  I do use 6 oz. of coconut milk in my shake (a small portion of my yellows), but will refrain from adding peanut butter so that I can have it on my apple as a snack.  That's okay, though, because there are plenty of other "free" additions that I can put in my shake to change it up each day.

Okay, Autumn, I'm ready to start!  Bring it on!
