Nutrition All-in-One

Some of you may be sick of hearing me talk about Nutrition by now, but it really is the most critical part to getting the results we are after.  If you want average results, put in average effort on the nutrition.  If you want AMAZING results, commit to the nutrition.  Want to build muscle?  You need the right nutrition to make it happen.  Want to lose body fat?  You need the right nutrition to make that happen too!  The workouts are set for you.  You just push play!  But what about the other 23 hours of the day?  You have to take those 23 hours just as seriously!

The purpose of this article is just to provide a “HUB” where I will link all the info you need to become a MASTER of your nutrition. I want all of teamRIPPED dialed in for success — “X”treme success!!  I am permanently linking this information under “Coach W’s Tips” in a new section called “Nutrition Zone” (cuz you gotta get in the zone baby!!).  While every workout system comes with a diet guide, I have found the P90X guide to be far superior.  For those of you who have both Insanity and P90X, use the P90X guide as the basis for your nutrition.  It is more comprehensive and detailed, plus it serves as the best method for developing a long-term nutrition strategy that can last you the rest of your life.

So here’s the goods!  What you need to succeed! ……

First, here’s the P90X Excel Spreadsheet, which includes the Nutrition information you need to determine your starting point, calories, phase, and foods that fit into the categories:

P90X Excel Spreadsheet (With Nutrition and Printable Worksheets)

Next, you have to know how to really understand the approach to the Nutrition Guide (this is where we take what P90X has given us and we take it to the next level for Maximum results!).  To do that, you need to read a couple articles I’ve written on the topic:

The Nutrition Guide

Nutrition Tracking

Round 1 Nutrition

Once you understand these aspects of the nutrition and have your mind set on success, you need some sample diets to use as a template for creating your own personal diet that suits your tastes and your calorie and percentage goals.  After doing multiple rounds, I’ve developed a few different diets that are great for a variety of goals.  So use them as a launching point for your own plan:

My 1900 Calorie Diet

My 3,000 Calorie Diet

My Bulking Diet

Oh, and what about cheat meals and healthy snack options?  I’ve got you covered there as well!

Cheat Meals

Healthy Snacks

Eating Out

Fat Shredder Foods

And what about timing your meals in relation to your workouts?  When should you take protein powder?  Do you need to eat before workouts?  Here’s your answers:

Protein Review

Fueling Before Workouts

Fueling During Workouts

Timing Meals

Wow, all this healthy food must end up costing a ton of money, right?  Read this!

And then, finally, as you work on dialing in your nutrition over the course of your transformation, you may run into some obstacles, like a plateau.  That’s when it’s time to switch things up a bit to keep your metabolism moving and to push toward the results you want.  To research more about breaking out of plateaus, and what terms like “starvation mode” are, read these articles:

Zig Zag Diet

Starvation Mode

I hope this all-inclusive, one-stop-shop for your nutrition needs is helpful!  When you aren’t sure where to find some of my nutrition tips, remember that I’ve got them all linked here at the “P90X Nutrition” page!
