Help! I'm trying to plan my meals for week 4, and I'm still confused about what is an "Authorized Food." I have the BFL book, which has a list on page 83. That's the list I copied and have been following. I am trying to have some variety and finding it a challenge. On pages 84...

I just started my very first challenge today - yay! - and while I'm pretty comfortable with the workouts, I know that nutrition is what will let me really see the results I want. I'm trying to balance making tasty meals for my fella at home, but also staying on target during my six non-free days...

Hi Guys, I found this website thought it might be useful to some. It has really helped me figure the amount of carbs and protein in whole foods with no labels like strawberries. http://nutritiondata.self.com/

As we all know there are a multitude of Myoplex ready to drink shakes available. What constitutes a portion? Should I be drinking the "Original" formula and size at 42 (g) of protein and approx. 300 calories or the plastic bottle size with 20-25 (g) of protein and fewer calories? I think...

I am just starting BFL today, and I am already the Recipe Matcher website (http://www.recipematcher.com/index.php/home/) program that looks at the food you have in your kitchen and helps you search for recipes that use what you have. It would REALLY help me if folks could post some of their favorite...

I started BFL on Oct 5th, and last week, I continued my low Carb Diet, adding in Brown Rice a couple time daily for my Carb. Yesterday, I tried my first day of the BFL Nutrition diet, and I am concerned about how hungry I am now. Yesterday, I added whole wheat toast to breakfast, a white potato...

I would like to know some of YOUR meal plans so i can get an idea of what kinds of food to combine. I already have the BFL book...I've already visited the nutrition and meal plans tab. I want to know what some of you guys are doing as far as eating. This is the only problem for me... If you don't...

So i have been doing the program for 4 weeks now, reallly seeing results as well. Which is great, but there is something I don't quite understand. The Cheat Day (which I usually take on Sundays) does that mean NO exercising as well as NO dieting. Or can I seperate the diet and the training. In other...

Howdy BFL'ers! I wanted to make sure I came here to share something I think can really help a lot of people who are either just embarking on a new challenge, or who still aren't sure if they're planning meals correctly. Since winning BFL over 2 years ago, I've had a lot of amazing...

Hey guys, I was wondering whether its true when they say not to eat within 1 hour of working out. Im fairly sure that Bill Phillips had touched on it breifly in the BFL book but now i cant find it again. If it is true does this apply to both cardio AND weight training? Your advice would be greatly...

Does anyone know if there's an application which helps you record your exercises and food While at the gym? Does EAS have one in the BFL layout? It would be great if you could help

Hi, I am on day 3 and have done the BFL before (about 6 years ago) Got great results...lost 75pounds and kept it off UNTIL I had my son. I gain back 50 of those pounds and am starting again. My question is I know you don't need to count calories but it just a habit. I am worried I am not getting...

Hey forum, I just started my first challenge this week after I promised my wife I'd lose 15 lbs. I'm starting at 6'0, 210 lbs, 25% body fat and I want to get to get to about 10-15% body fat by the end of the program. I noticed that I am pretty consistently hungry even after I finish eating...

Hi Everyone, I am on day six. I eat six meals a day, two are protein drinks, and 4 are by the book (fist size of complex carbs and palm size of protein and a green veg all from the list in the BFL book). It just feels like too much eating. I can't believe I am writing this as I am severely overweight...

So I started BFL last week 2/6/12 and lost about 4 lbs. I started off eating 6 meals a day, but I find it difficult to eat 6 meals everyday. What do you guys think about eating 5 meals a day instead of 6? I have more energy than I have when eating three big meals a day, but I still feel a bit bloated...

I am struggling with my nutrition. I hear so many different things and I'm not sure what is correct. Some say with this program don't worry about your caloric intake some much, just eat as clean as possible. But if you eat more than you burn then you'll gain weight right? I also hear if you...
