Meal Ideas

So these meal plans came from my sister in law who used to work out at Four Pillars in Bountiful.  They are based on a 1500 calorie/day diet.  This will be different for everyone.  The best way to figure this out is to use the My Fitness Pal or Lose It apps.  They can help you decide depending on how much weight you are looking to use, weight now, etc.  Check them out.  Here is another way:

Calculate your Resting Metabolic Rate (the number of calories you need to be alive)
     Formula is Your Body Weight x 10 = your RMR

Calculate your Daily Activity Burn (calories required for daily movement, not including exercise)
     Formula is RMR x 20% = DAB

Add the calories required for your exercise (how many calories do your burn during your workout)
     Formula is RMR+DAB + (200-600)  = Energy Amount
     the 200-600 is a guess, this will change depending on the length and intensity of your workouts.

 Really the best way is to use one of the apps.  The above formula comes from the P90X workout and eating guide.  I will post more on it later.  For now figure out the best you can and look through the following ideas if you are looking for help.

I realize these are blurry.  I will try to fix them tomorrow.  At least you can see the proteins, carbs and fruit/veggie intake you are supposed to be eating.
