Katie β€”

Welcome to Week 6! Based on your feedback & reflections, we've adapted your plan again to better align with your πŸ—“οΈ schedule, ⚑️energy needs and πŸ˜‹ food preferences. You'll see adjustments to elements like meal timing, macro distribution and food variety as well as some rationale as to why we made it.

week 6 baseline


Consistent menu faves

Sounds like you’ve gotten into a groove with a couple favorite items, like smoothies, wraps, and a banana + peanut butter combo. We haven’t changed your menu much, so keep doing what’s working - but make sure you’re balancing them out, like adding some protein to the banana + peanut butter!


Dinner challenges

Dinner continues to be challenging - and sounds like it’s getting worse. Let’s continue to make sure you’re getting what you need in other parts of the day.


No changes to your goals this week - keep at it!

FUEL FOR YOUR RANGE OF ACTIVITY

Especially if you’re reintroducing running, ensure you’re meeting your carbohydrate goals, as well as focusing on recovery.

HEARTBURN MANAGEMENT

Adjust meal sizes with larger lunches and smaller dinners to accommodate digestion and reduce discomfort, and introduce some easier-to-digest elements in evening meals.

CONTINUE MEAL PREP

Continue to focus on prioritizing simple options that don’t take much time to prepare but still meet your macronutrient goals.

Weekend flexibility

You want the flexibility to eat out on weekends - that is absolutely part of this! See your β€œaction items” for thoughts.
