P90X Nutrition – My “Core” Foods
The P90X workouts are tough. But, I tell everyone I coach that it is diet, nutrition and supplements that get people the results they’re looking for. The workouts make you fit on the inside, your nutrition makes you look fit on the outside.
I didn’t really follow any nutritional plan or recipes provided by Beachbody during my run through P90X. It’s not that I don’t think they’re good – I just didn’t have the time. I did, however, really pay attention to the caloric ratios that Beachbody recommends for Phase 1. Beachbody says that during Phase 1 you should get 50% of your calories from protein, 30% from carbohydrates and 20% from fat.
What I did was identify a group of “core” foods that I knew by eating, and interchanging daily, would allow me to hit those ratios.
