Reminder - phase 4 meeting AND part 2 of our seminar

will be at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday November 29th @ Collier High School (same place as last time). I have a special guest speaker coming as well... we are each planning on speaking for about an hour. If you do not have part 1 or did not see part 1 you will need to watch it on DVD before you attend part 2. I am selling copies for $20 - the seminar on the 29th is free. The information will be (in my opinion and experience) even MORE valuable than what you heard in part 1.... if you want to know why then show up!

Finally back from Philly after a very long but productive weekend at the Russian Kettlebell Certification. The good news is I was told that I am being promoted to Senior instructor (a position held by less than 10 people out of over 5000+ certified RKCs literally around the world). I feel honored to be recognized because the RKC is a high-speed group and standing out is anything but easy. Nevertheless, back to business:

Good morning. Three weeks in already. Can you believe it? You are all doing so well. Don't get discourage by what the scale says. For some of you that haven't lost weight I can see that your bodies are changing. I see tightening and more muscle tone. If you do what we are asking you will start to see big changes. Keep a positive attitude. It is so important to your success.

women day 21, sat oct 10th

Hey everyone! Welcome to the weekend. You are doing awesome. Please get your weights to me. Remember any questions or concerns you can email me directly.

Also, My ability to blog will be limited to how often I can get to a computer so be patient.... if you need something answered right away just text me at 732-580-7238

Finally, (men and women) if you are changing anything that is RXed on phase 2 then you are WRONG... please don't do that. You must eat everything I am asking you to eat, several of you have been skipping fruit or a carb etc. If you want to mess up your metabolism then feel free to do so, or you can trust me like I said from the start and do it right. I don't care if you are gaining or losing weight, this is a system and it must be followed exactly in order to have the effect AT THE END!

Good morning. I am missing a couple of weights on you guys so if you haven't emailed me please do. Thanks. You are all doing so great. Don't tell the first group but I think you guys are much smarter. he he

Also, please mark your calenders - phase 2 meeting will be next Sunday, October 4th @ 7:30 a.m. and will last about 30 minutes. Tom and I will be available afterward for question and answer.

More important stuff . . .

1) Those who will be fasting this weekend - when you go back to eating you should continue to do what you normally do... if you still feel hungry after you consume all your food, then eat more protein. Most people after fasting for 24 hours (which is more like 16 hours for most people) actually don't feel all that hungry and there are reasons for that; nonetheless, do as I described and you will be fine.
2) Many have been asking about our class schedule so here it is:
Monday nights @ 7:30 p.m. : Body weight conditioning class with clubbells
Wednesday nights @ 7:30 p.m. : Kettlebell class (upper body)
Saturday mornings @ 10:15 a.m. : Bootcamp class
Sunday mornings @ 10 a.m. (this is a new time starting this week): Kettlebell class (full body)... the SUNDAY CLASS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS. If you want to attend the Sunday class you need one on one instruction first or you will hurt your back from swinging and cleaning the bell incorrectly.
3) More Harmonized Protein and Greens First is on the way and should be here by Friday... for those that don't know, Harmonized Protein is an outstanding hormone-free protein source and Greens First offers 10 servings of vegetable enzymes, a no-brainer to stick into your diet. I;m limited on the amount I can buy at any one time, these always sell out fast so it's first come first serve.

ATTN: IMPORTANT

within the next few days the blog page will be taken off of the www.FitforLifeMarlboro.com page so you need to save the link to the blog in your computer or write it down if you are really old and don't know how to save under "favorites" - the link is simple, here it is:

Women day 2, Monday September 21

Women day 1, Sunday September 20

Please make sure you read Tom's post below. I will start to log my meals tomorrow. Please, make sure you log under the current date. Thank you!

Day 1 September 20th

Review of food partitioning:
Men will have the following each day:
3 (9.5 ounce containers) of Protein
2 (9.5 ounce containers) of carbs
2 pieces of medium sized fruit
65 grams of fat

Women will have the following each day:
2 (9.5 ounce containers) of Protein
2 (9.5 ounce containers) of carbs
2 pieces of medium sized fruit
45 grams of fat

Starting tomorrow (and every single day after that) you will be able to see examples of what Jody and I do during phase 1 for our meals... you will also be able to see what others are doing. Please read our comments to others and learn from other people's mistakes. This system is VERY easy, but it takes about 3 or 4 days of actually doing it before you get it down.... after that it becomes part of your life like all the other things you do each day.
Get excited people because today starts the first day of an UNBELIEVABLE experience. Jody and I feel privileged to be able to share this incredible journey with you. From experience, I can guarantee that in the end, there will be no feeling like accomplishing what you have set out to do in the end. We will get there together. Be patient, have faith in us and be compliant for 12 weeks - it goes FAST ! ! !

Women Sunday Sept 20th

Congratulations to all of you for taking the first steps to a healthier more fit you! I know it's a little confusing right now. Some of you probably think you are never going to get the program. Everyone feels like that in the first couple of days. Believe me before you know it it will be second nature to you. Your attitude towards food is going to drastically change. You are going to become more conscious of everything you consume. Most importantly, you are going to feel better.

If there is anything you need to say to me in private please feel free to email directly at jody_phillips4@yahoo.com. Remember, no question is a stupid one. So ask away.

Best of Luck to all of you,

Jody

Women day 69, Sun july 12

It was great to see you guys this morning. For those of you that could stay for the seminar it was totally worth it! Those of you that stayed for the kettlebell class, you are hard core! The whole morning was so inspiring. Being around you guys is so motivating to me. You are all amazing!

Important ! ! !

As of today we will no longer be using the blog; everything will go to me or Jody directly.
My e-mail address: FitforLifeMarlboro@yahoo.com
Jody's e-mail address: Jody_Phillips4@yahoo.com

There are several reasons for this, but the main reason is we will likely be making small adjustments to each of you during phase 3 and 4 based on the issues each of you may or may not be having. You do not need to send us menus each day unless you want to. At this point you all know what to do, how to measure etc. It's important that you keep us posted on your weight on Wednesdays and Saturdays, otherwise we can't make adjustments.
I also want to thank each of you who came to the seminar this morning after the phase 3 meeting. We had a great turn-out and the reviews I received after-ward let me know it was well worth it. If you implement the information we went over in your daily routines, your workouts and start introducing the Z-drills I guarantee a world of difference in many facets of your performance and overall physical well-being.
Finally I want to thank each of you for doing such an amazing job on this program and having the courage to follow with us. It's making our journey so much more enjoyable knowing you are all in it with us and seeing the difference in your physiques over the past couple months has been inspiring to say the least. Keep up the great work and see it through until the end!
BTW - what a kettlebell class afterward aye?

Women day 68, Sat July 11th

Hi women! I am so proud of all of you that have stuck with this. I know some of you wish you had lost more weight by this point. Be careful what you wish for. The challenge isn't over yet. Things will be changing up on Sunday and you will start seeing more changes in your body and weight. I have lost only around 5 pounds so far. I know that my body has changed, though. I definitely see more muscle and I am wearing smaller sizes. I see that in a lot of you as well. You are getting compliments from people about how much weight you must have lost. The fact is because you are eating the right foods in the right amounts you are able to put muscle on. Please get your weight to me before your LAST cheat meal. Love ya, Jody

I will be starting phase 3 on Monday - my weight loss has been steady, but I think I am capable of getting even lower in body weight than I originally anticipated because my strength has remained solid despite the drop in body weight. If I start getting moody on low carb days here is my apology now!

Women day 53, Friday June 26

Important

ATTN 12 week people - stop reading this is not for you! this is only for the 16 week people

If you have hit a "weight loss plateau" and want to start phase 3 now I am going to lay it out for you.... please only begin phase 3 if you have been compliant on phase 2 and not losing weight. If on the other hand you are doing your own thing here and there and have been less than compliant then focus on getting disciplined on phase 2 because phase 3 takes A LOT more discipline.

July 12th is the official Phase 3 meeting (I will be covering more than what I lay out here so this is NOT in substitution of the meeting)... this is simply to get you a jump start if you need it. Also, a reminder that on July 12th at 8:30 a.m. (right after the meeting) I will be holding a strength and conditioning seminar... its free and you are simply insane if you don't come to it. I am going to go into a lot of detail on MANY topics that you MUST hear, process, and start doing

Phase 3

1) Low carb days are veggies only now... so both men and women will have ZERO containers of carbs on low carb days. Men can stick with 1 fruit and women you may also have 1 fruit first thing in the morning.... if you have not been eating your veggies this is where you will get crushed. Veggies are carbs, so you need to rely on them.
2) High carb days are cut so that men will only have 2 containers and women only 1 container.
3) Fats and Protein stay the same for men and women
4) No more cheat meals
5) Taking fast paced walks at night to burn extra calories is strongly encouraged... so instead of watching Dancing with the Who's got talent on Grey's Anatomy; go take a walk with your spouse.
ENJOY!

p.s. if you think this is difficult, it's getting there - but I told you it would get harder as time went on... like I said, if you have not been 100% compliant on phase 2, please do not even think about starting this until you are totally compliant on phase 2 otherwise you will screw up your metabolism.

Men Day 40, Saturday June 13th (1/3 of the way through)

From the day we started until the day we finish is 120 days... we are 1/3 through. My goal at the start was to lose 16 lbs by the finish... right now I am down an average of 5.5 lbs from day 1 which is exactly where I wanted to be at this point (started at an avg. of 181.5 in the morning and down to an average of 176). Remember, many of you lost a lot of weight fast because of intestinal mass build-up, bloating, etc... after the first 2 weeks your weight loss became more steady at a good 1.5 - 2 lbs per week which is just what we want to see. My goal for next 40 days is another 5.5 lbs which will absolutely happen.

High carb day:
7:00 a.m. 2 slices Ezekiel, 1/2 serving almond butter, Dream Protein and Greens First and a granny smith apple

10:15 deadlifting and stone lifting during boot camp

noon 5 eggs, 1 piece of dry rye toast, lettuce and tomato

2:oo Protein shake with Greens First and almond butter

tonight - cheat meal

Women day 40, Sat June 13

Welcome to the weekend! Ladies after speaking to Tom we would like you all to start taking in only 40g of fat. NO LESS! Everything else stays the same. Weigh yourselves and get back to me.

Women day 39, Fri June 12

Supplements announcement

Greens First is on back order and should be in by Monday or Tuesday; also, you will notice that we are carrying Harmonized Protein now instead of Dream Protein... it's the same thing (both are hormone free products) - harmonized actually tastes better and Harmony use a better process for filtering their protein than Dream. I've been having a lot of problems with Dream Protein filling orders on time and have done a lot of homework to find a suitable replacement and I have found Harmony to be an EXCELLENT product. Harmony actually retails for $6.00 more than Dream, but we are keeping it at the same price ($40) per 24 ounce container.... you won't find a better price anywhere (after you account for shipping). I am also going to sample their Greens product to see if it is as good as Greens First, if it is I may switch to their Greens product as well.

Great job so far everyone... 39 days in for most of you and you are all still here! iIknew deep down you were all gluttons for punishment! Don't worry, it will keep getting harder and harder!

Your weight this morning and updates....

If you lost weight keep doing what you are doing, if you stayed the same or gained please re-weigh yourself again first thing tomorrow morning. We don't want to make changes unless we MUST... long way to go folks and dropping calories now isn't great. If you aren't getting your workouts in, doing HIIT cardio, classes, etc then you are HELPING your metabolism slow down. NOT good. Most of you have been doing GREAT and simply need to keep up the good work. Do what I just said and report back tomorrow morning if you fall into that category... if we need to adjust we will adjust; no big deal. Understand that if you gained weight it is VERY unlikely that you actually gained fat... most of you are eating the same or slightly less, so that mathematically is impossible... this is why we need you to check again tomorrow morning.

Men Day 17, Wednesday May 20th

If I didn't get your weight this morning please get it to me ASAP. If you last weight (even a little bit) keep doing what you are doing.

women day 14, Sun the 17th

Hi my friends, back from my mental health day.Tom and I had an awesome time in NYC last night. Rock of Ages is really worth seeing. Hope you all enjoyed your cheat meals. So if you didn't lose a half of a pound or more you need to do a couple of different things. First of all, take out a half of a container carbs and 5gf. If you lost a half of a pound or more continue what you are doing. Please report to me starting, middle and weight now. You can leave it on my email jody_phillips4@yahoo.com if you're more comfortable with that.

Adjustments for the day AFTER your cheat meal...

After you weigh-in the morning of your cheat meal you will fall into 1 of 2 categories:

Men - if you lost another pound or more since Wednesday DO NOT change a thing; if you lost less than a pound since Wednesday do the following: reduce your carb intake by 1/2 container.... this means you will only consume 2.5 containers per day instead of 3. You will also reduce your fat by 5 grams... this is either reducing 23 nuts by 7 nuts (for a grand total of 16 nuts) or changing a whole egg to an egg white only or 1 tablespoon of almond butter instead of 2.

Women - if you lost another 1/2 pound or more since Wednesday DO NOT change a thing; if you lost less than 1/2 a pound since Wednesday do the following: reduce carb intake by 1/2 container... this means you will only consume 1.5 containers per day instead of 2. You will also reduce your fat by 5 grams.... this is either reduce nut intake by 7 nuts or changing a whole egg to an egg white only or 1 tablespoon of almond butter instead or 2.

You will all weigh yourselves again Wednesday morning and report to either me or Jody. You guys are on a roll . . . . keep it up! DO NOT do anything other than what I have asked you to do above.... if I already made changes to your diet privately continue to do what I already asked you to do until Wednesday and report.

Good morning my little chickies! Happy 11th day . You're all doing so well. I am so proud. Stay positive and motivated. Don't be discourage by small weight gain or small weight loss. This is exactly what we expected. Many of you have done low calorie dieting in the past (just like most of the women in America) . This has caused a sluggish metabolism. We are getting it back on track, the healthy way.

10 - 1/2 container chicken and 12 almonds
Packed for rest of day:
Protein:
other 1/2 container chicken
1 more container chicken
1 container cod
Carbs:
1 container sweet potato
1 container brown rice cereal
Fats:
12 more almonds, will have more almond butter tonight
Fruit:
Mango

Wednesday - weigh-in day and EVERYONE pleae read

Today I wanted everyone to weigh-in for a reason. I needed to know if you were up or down since the weekend. If you have not been weighing in as we request you are shooting yourself in the foot. I would expect your weight to be slightly up unless your metabolism is very high; then it may have gone down a pound; maybe two. You should hit new lows at the END of each week... so when you weigh in again this weekend before your cheat meal you should be a little lighter (new low). If not we will simply adjust. Here is what my weight has done and this is classic of what to expect in the future if not already:
5/3 - 181 lbs.
5/10 - 178.4 lbs.
5/13 - 179 lbs.
5/16 - will likely be 178 or a bit under...
Your cheat meal effects you more than you think... you will see this trend I am describing and if you see that trend you are doing it right. DO NOT expect your weight to go down each and every day... it doesn't work like that. Like I said, at the end of each week is where you should see your new lows.

Women day 10, Wednesday May 13

Hi guys, Think it's time to restock the fridge. Usually has to be done twice a week. Yesterday i had a couple of people appologize for being unprepared. Nothing is worse then going in the fridge to grab your food for the day and be short on something.

Overall it was a great day. Keep up the the good work.

Weigh-ins again tomorrow morning....

Please do not forget to weigh in again tomorrow morning as soon as you wake up and report to me or Jody... thank you!!!

Women day8, Monday May 11th

We have made it through the first week with no casualties! Everyone did great. Give yourselves a nice pat on the back. Ok, lets keep going....

Men, May 10th Day 7

So far every single one of you have reported back with weight loss between 2 lbs and 8 lbs. I lost about 2.5 lbs which is actually a bit more than I wanted to lose... I've been eating pretty clean for over a month now, so I didn't expect to drop that much. The average man lost about 5 lbs which is amazing. I need you to all weigh yourselves again on Wednesday morning and then we will weigh in one more time a week from today (or yesterday... which ever day you choose for your cheat meal next week). From there we will make adjustments as necessary.
I want to congratulate all of you for an amazing job so far. I have not heard a single man complain about being hungry, or draggin ass during the week. I've heard many reports of elevated and sustained energy levels and THAT is what we are after here. The weight will drop slowly but surely week after week after week. This was only week one. You will not lose as much weight next week - if you do you are a freak. I told you these first 2 weeks are so your body gets used to the process and gets into a state of more "normalcy." Expect another 2-3 pounds of weight loss next week on average... some will only lose 1 or 2 and some will lose 2 or 3 and that is what I'm hoping for. After phase 1 I'm expecting the average man to lose 10-12 pounds.... then it gets fun. Stay the course, the hard part is over. Many of you have already changed bad habits and are creating new possibilities for yourself. The energy has been amazing, now just keep up the great work!!!

Today:
7:30 a.m. 3 eggs with a hell of a lot of spinach and 1/4 serving of coconut oil; Dream Protein Shake with Greens First, 1/2 serving almond butter and 1 banana; 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread

10:45 Kettlebell class

12:00 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread, almond butter, dream protein shake with greens first with banana

1:00 Mountain Biking

2:15 Post workout drink (20 carbs and 10 protein)

4:00 will be grilling a bunch of Turkey burgers and eating them with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a huge salad (no buns of course)

Tonight I will have another Dream Protein before bed

Women, May10th, day7

Happy Mother's Day to all of you that are mothers. I have been getting the weigh in results and I am stoked!!!!! You guys did amazing! Keep up the good work. Enjoy your cheat meal but please, don't go too crazy. I don't think after all your hard work that you would anyway. Great week one!!!!!

weigh-ins today and tomorrow...

Those of you that are doing your cheat meal tonight and weighed in today (first thing in the morning a MUST) -please be sure to let me and Jody know what you gained / lost... already had most men report to me. If you plan on cheat meal tomorrow then weigh yourself first thing in morning as soon as you get up. If you didn't weigh in and are planning on cheating tonight DO NOT weigh yourself tomorrow... you will have to wait until Wednesday morning when we ask for weight again. You CANNOT weigh yourself the day after a cheat.... EVER. Also - weighing yourself at any other time other than first thing in the morning is not accurate... to many variables.

Men, Day 6 May 9th . . .

6:20 a.m. 2 slices Ezekiel, almond butter, 1 scoop Dream Protein, 1 scoop Greens First, 1/2 banana, white tea

9:00 preworkout drink (10 grams protein and 20 carbs, plus 5 grams BCAA)

9:15-10:45 Deadlift workout and stones outside

1:00 p.m. 8 ounce Prime Burger with huge salad, steamed broccoli

3:00 p.m. 1 serving Walnuts, 2 pieces of Ezekiel bread with 1/2 serving almond butter

Planning on cheat meal tonight where I will consume the rest of my calories (likely around 6:30 p.m.) will have a protein shake about 30 minutes before I go to bed.

women day 6, May 9 Women post all comments here today

You're on a roll (ezekiel of course)! I am so proud of you. Hopefully you are feeling well and energetic. A few of you had headaches. That should be subsiding. Let me know if they continue. Overall most of you have been telling me you feel great. If your having your cheat meal tonight, I hope you really enjoy. I know I did last night!

Women, friday day 5 , women all posts here today

I am amazed by all of you. You are following the plan almost perfectly. Make sure you read Tom's entries. He has posted some great information. Some of you may be having a cheat meal tonight. Enjoy. You deserve it! Your body needs it.

A few words about your cheat meal: IMPORTANT ! ! !

Choose which day you are going to cheat... If tomorrow I need you to weigh yourself first thing in the morning as soon as you get up and tell either me or Jody if you gained or lost weight and how much... you MUST weight yourself the morning before your meal. If Sunday is your cheat meal, then weigh yourself Sunday morning. Notice we are talking about a cheat meal NOT a cheat day. If you want to screw up everything you have done so far than go ahead and be ridiculous on your cheat meal... you need to learn how to incorporate "smart cheats." A smart cheat meal would be your wine, your breads (within reason) and a dessert. Your main course doesn't have to be stupid, nor does your appetizer if you choose to have one. For me the cheat meal is all about the dessert.... not the entire meal. Don't get yourself drunk and don't walk away from the table feeling like a glutton. You earned your cheat meal so treat it with respect and enjoy it.
P.S. DO NOT forget to weigh yourself first thing in the morning the day of your cheat meal and report back to me and Jody right away.

Men, Day 5 May 8th... please start of by reading the post below this that says "Ladies and gentlemen..."

4:45 a.m. 1 scoop Dream Protein, 1 scoop Greens First, 1/2 banana, 1/2 serving of almond butter in shake. 2 pieces of Hemp seed bread with the other 1/2 serving of almond butter.

7-8 a.m. upper body workout (triceps still rocked from Wednesday night's KB class).

7:45 a.m. - began drinking post-workout drink (20 grams carbs and 10 grams protein).

8:15 a.m. - 4 poached eggs

Packed for rest of day:
Protein:
1 container grass fed beef
1 container chicken

Carbs:
2/3 container steal cut oats

Veggies:
celery and cauliflower

Fats:
Came from almond butter, egg yolks, beef and the olive oil and fish I will have tonight

Fruit:
My other is an apple

Will go out to dinner tonight and have fish, veggies and lentils with some olive oil.

Ladies and gentlemen a math lesson... please read

Most of you have been getting on the scale already (which I didn't advise)... most of you are happy with what you are seeing and some are not and honestly I don't care either way (for MANY reasons). Jody and I won't care what your body is doing weight-wise until after 2 weeks. Right now you have finished day 4 so let's look carefully at a couple things to put your mind at ease (IF you gained weight).
Women - you are only eating 2000 calories per day, 40% of that is coming from protein which means net calories at end of the day is less than 1700 calories. It takes 3500 calories to gain a single pound... so assuming you are a corpse, it would take 4 days to gain less than 2 pounds. Since all of you are alive, move, maintain a body temperature of 98.6 degrees, digest, breathe, (even exercise)... ALL of those things burn calories; therefore, if you think you gained even a single pound in 4 days then reconsider what is ACTUALLY happening.
Some of you MAY put weight on in the first 4 days if:
1) You have been perpetually dehydrated and are now drinking more water (which you MUST) - this is a temporary weight gain and as you drink more water over time you will actually retain WAY less water. Despite popular belief water is the BEST diuretic. If you don't want to be bloated then drink more water for 2 weeks and see waht happens at the end. Water also helps your body get rid of fat... that is a FACT.
2) If you are used to a very low carb diet (carbs retain WATER... not fat). Water is not fat.
3) If you are a woman and you are about to get your period... Jody is good for 2-3 pounds during this time.
4) If you are used to eating like a bird then over the course of 2 weeks (not 4 days) you MAY gain a bit of weight... IF you do, then that is a VERY GOOD thing because it meant your body's metabolism was pathetically low and now that we have a baseline it will be VERY easy to adjust over the next 14 weeks; which is when Jody and I will be VERY involved with what your scale is doing.
Please re-read the goals of phase 1... only 1 of the 9 goals is weight loss. I guarantee that once we get to the end of phase one (more than 3 weeks away) you will be more than happy with the cumulative result. Right now, just trust what we are saying and don't get involved with how you are interpreting the scale. Similar - some of you think you are dropping crazy amounts of weight... you aren't. Right now your body is adjusting to what we are doing (water adjustments mostly)... that is why this process takes 2 weeks. Stay the course and everyone is doing great so far. FYI - my goal is to drop 16 pounds in 16 weeks... that is insanely lean for me and my body will fight that as we get toward phases 3 and 4... many of you can expect to drop 30, 40 pounds depending on where you are starting from and what your metabolism is doing. After 2 weeks Jody and I will tell you realistic goals for your body weight at the end of this. Many of you will think it is impossible to get as lean as we say you can get, but if you trust us and follow us you will get there 100% for sure.

Men Day 4, May 7th . . .

I must admit that you guys are doing very well. A few common mistakes:
1) Not enough veggies
2) Not enough protein (men, we are aiming for 220 grams per day, so that is 3 full 9.5 ounce containers plus a scoop of dream protein).
3) Eating carbs past 6:00 p.m. is a no-go
4) Get your 2 fruits in (they should be small-medium sized fruits... if berries about 4 ounces is one serving.)
5) Not eating frequently enough
6) Remember that steel cut oats is 6 ounces for the container, not 9.5 ounces... this food is VERY dense.
7) Remember your fats... some fat will come from beef and fish, but make sure you are getting your nuts, seeds, oils if you are running low on your fats

My day so far:
5:30 a.m. 2 slices Ezekiel bread, 1/2 serving almond butter, 1 scoop Dream Protein, 1 scoop Greens First, 1 small banana, 1 white tea.

8:15 a.m. 3 hard boiled eggs

9:45 a.m. Organic grass fed beef (1/2 container)

Rest of day packed:
Protein:
other 1/2 of beef container
1 full container egg whites with safflower mayo
1 full container of chicken
Carbs:
2/3 container steel cut oats
1 container sweet potato
Fats:
23 almonds
Fruit:
medium size Apple
