P90X Endurance Maximizer Sample Diet

P90X Endurance Maximizer Sample Diet – it’s finally here!

Just a few weeks ago, I posted that I would be completing a sample diet for the P90X Endurance Maximizer plan. I moved my calorie goal to 3000 calories and used MyFitnessPal to track for two weeks. If you’ve made it all the way to using the P90X Endurance Maximizer ratios then you are likely maintaining or even looking to put on weight. What you’ll see in my sample diet is an amazing amount of flexibility to eat a larger variety foods.

What’s different about Endurance Maximizer?

You’ll remember that the biggest difference you will notice when coming from the Energy Booster plan to the  Endurance Maximizer Plan is the transition of 10% more of your calories from protein to carbohydrates. This is what gives you that endurance. Carbs are an energy source, so when you eat them you get energy. The reason carbs often get a bad name is because they can more easily be stored as fat — especially simple carbs. Most of the food that we call “bad” is high in simple carbs and fat, which makes that food very calorically dense and easy to eat a lot of. With 50% of your calories coming from carbs, you will have TONS of energy to do a lot of work!

You hopefully remember that when increasing your calories AND decreasing your percentage of protein (shifting from 1900 at 50/30/20 to 2400 at 40/40/20 and now to 3000 at 30/50/20) you’ll still see that your overall grams of protein will stay pretty consistent. Instead of taking 50% of a smaller number of calories to get your needed protein, you’ll be taking 30% of an even LARGER number of calories. This will still give you plenty of protein to build and maintain muscle and get all those good muscle protein synthesis responses.

How the Endurance Maximizer can open food choices.

With so many calories available to you, it is very easy to fit almost any meal into your day. This may initially be difficult for you if you label certain foods as “good” or “bad.” This may come as a surprise to you, but I don’t think pizza is a “bad” food. Pizza often gets thrown in that category while people are trying to lose body fat and weight. Why? Because it’s extremely calorie dense and it’s calories come from mainly carbohydrates and fats. Therefore, eating pizza while on 1900 calories and Fat Shredder will be very difficult. But you now have a lot more calories to use and a higher percentage of calories coming from carbs and fat. Pizza’s not that “bad” anymore when you are on the Endurance Maximizer!

Now yes, this does not address the quality of food you may be eating. You could find pizza that’s made from very wholesome and quality ingredients. At the same time you could go buy pizza that’s been made with the lesser ingredients. We are NOT discussing that aspect right now. We are just discussing the caloric impact of pizza on your diet.

What you’ll notice in my sample diet is that I have quite a few foods in meals that would typically not work on a fat shredder diet. I eat more red meat and have a few more meals out (like Qdoba, Papa Murphy’s, etc). You’ll also see that the portion sizes are much larger. If you’re using my P90X Endurance Maximizer Sample Diet to bulk, then it may be difficult for you initially to eat so much food. This is right around my maintenance need, so it’s not that hard to do as I eat like this regularly.

Common themes to my P90X Endurance Maximizer Diet

• I still start almost every day with my Shakeology (or use it at another time during the day if I have something else for breakfast).
• I eat all my calories. I would rather eat them than drink them. If you can’t easily get in the calories you need, try adding some liquid calories (i.e. low fat/skim milk, juices for recovery, etc).
• All meals are bigger and all snacks are bigger. Plan accordingly.
• I still have a lot of protein at each meal, but my overall protein has not increased.
• If you still with whole foods, you will rack up a bunch of fiber. Not much need for a fiber supplement.

Simply click the link below and you’ll be taken to a PDF of my P90X Endurance Maximizer Sample Diet. You can save or even print a copy off. You may see that some days don’t equal 3000 calories exactly. In most cases this is due to certain food products using net carbs to figure there calorie totals. As long as I was close and using all my available grams of protein, carbs, and fat. I felt I was okay. Be on the lookout for further discussion of net carbs coming very soon.

It always all comes back to tracking. You can see that with 3000 calories and 50% carbs, you can fit in a lot of FOOD into your budgets. If you don’t track, many people find they still won’t hit their protein budget and will slide back into their old habits. Too many carbs and way too much fat. So keep tracking. It will be way easier than it will was when you were on 1900 and Fat Shredder. Congrats on hitting your goals and getting to a place where you can eat well and take your progress wherever you want!
