Hi Warriors
This is the meal section of the Warrior Lifestyle Program. Here you will find your downloadable food tracker to record your meals and this months health challenge
MEAL PLAN: Breakfast/Lunch
/Dinner/Snacks
---------------------------------------------------
The Warrior Lifestyle Meal Plan is designed to supplement your learning modules and home based workouts with an exciting, balanced list of meals that you can choose from in order to help improve your health, lose weight and inches, and get SNATCHED.
To complete our program’s meal plan, you must first figure out which weight category you would fall within. Our weight categories range from people who weigh 100-122 Lbs to people who weigh over 330 lbs, so there’s a category for most all size and body types.
Once you find your weight, the next step is identifying the associated amount of daily calories that you will be allotted. For example, a 160 lb person would be allotted 1400 daily calories as their weight falls between the range of 155lbs-188lbs.
Now that you know where you fall within the amount of daily calories, you have to pick a day each week to select which meals add up to the correct amount of daily calories and then select your weekly shopping list based on those meals. For the 160lb person, a great breakfast, lunch, and dinner can consist of:
Breakfast: Breakfast Recipe 2 - Veggie Muffin Omelet (387 Calories)
Lunch: Lunch Recipe 3 - Romaine Lettuce Boats w/ Chicken (400 Calories)
Dinner: Dinner Recipe 4 - Tuscan Tuna Swiss Wrap (400 calories)
If your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks do not total up to your allotted amount of calories for that day, you can then use our 100 calorie snack list to fill in the gaps and get to your daily allotted amount of calories. With the example above, our three main meals add up to approximately 1200 calories, meaning we need about 200 more calories to be within our daily range. Now let’s look at the 100 calorie snack list. You may want to keep it simple, and opt for 1 KIND Bar Mini and 1 banana (~100 calories each) to help fill out your additional 200 calories. These snacks can be eaten between your meals (with a tall glass of water!) to help keep hunger at bay and keep you within your calorie guidelines for the day.
*Please Note* These plans are set at caloric deficits, which are for individuals intending on losing weight, and not for individuals seeking to maintain or gain weight.
The meals given within our meal plan allow for a variety of healthy dishes meant to be prepared in advance and packaged for you to easily grab throughout your weekly routine. Using our supplied calendar, choose one or two days (a “rest day” is a good day for this) and allow those to be your shopping days. Looking through our meal list, you can then build your own personal shopping list using our curated list of breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and snacks similarly to the example above. With the supplied calendar, total your daily target calories for each day to be sure that you will not go over your allotted amount of calories by a large amount.
The Warrior Lifestyle meal plan is based on controlling caloric intake, which is the first step in rebuilding your body from the ground up. Please do not forget that controlling caloric intake is a mental process as much as it is physical, which means that there will be times when you won’t want to follow the plan. This is completely normal when forming habits, but the key to it is to actually form good habits. Unless there is a medical or otherwise harmful issue, we urge you to continue on your path of total mind and body fitness. Long distance runner Steve Prefontaine said it best “to give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift”. We’ve got you though Warriors! Please know that we are here with you every step, helping you to use the keys to unlock the body and life you WANT.
