Sample Meals

Here is a list of sample meals you can use to easily follow the portion plan for P90X.  I have it broken down by Phases.  This sample assumes you're using Level II eating.  I work in an office, and i've been able to follow this plan even at work.  I just bring my protein powder, protein bars, and a salad everyday.  No Excuses if you want results people!!

Phase I - Fat Burner
Breakfast - 7:00 am
  • 4 egg whites with 1/4 c non-fat cheddar
  • 1 Banana (or other fruit)
  • 3 Slices Turkey Breast (to equal about 50 cals)
Snack - 10:00 am
  • 10oz Skim Milk with 2 Scoop Protein Powder
  • 1 stick of skim string cheese
Lunch - 12:30 pm
  • 8 oz chicken breast (for the salad)
  • 1/3 head lettuce
  • Mixed veggies/peas/corn/black beans
  • Handfull of craisins
  • 2 tbsp low calorie dressing
Snack - 3:00 pm
  • Protein Bar
Dinner - 5:30 pm
  • 6 oz Salmon
  • 1/2 cup brown rice with garlic salt and crushed red pepper
  • 2/3 cup mixed veggies
Snack - 8:30pm
  • 1c cottage cheese with 1/4 c sunflower seeds (or almonds) mixed in
This should work out to roughly 2200 calories.  I'd recommend tracking everything in something like fitday.com or myfitnesspal.com  The best part about the meals i listed is you can be really creative with these ingredients and make different dishes with a few simple changes.  I usually keep some onion, salsa, buffalo sauce and soy sauce on-hand - and just dump in things to change up the flavors.
