Hi Elissa,
Question regarding the shopping list, Are there any other carbohydrate sources that we can eat eg. bread, rye crackers?
My second question is about the supplements, On a non training day are we supposed to be taking 18000mg of fish oil tablets? It states that we need to take 3000mg with every meal unless we are eating fish already.
Finally my third question is, what are some other sources of casein protein apart from yoghurt and cottage cheese?
Hopefully these make sense!
Thanks
Brooke

Ditto to Brookes food questions.

I am currently already taking Natures Way Super Krill Oil. it says that it is 6x stronger than a 1000mg fish oil capsule. So on training days you recommend with meals 3-6 so that would be 12,000mg fish oil. Does this mean if I stick to my current Super Krill capsules I should only take 2 a day on training days and 3 on non training days? If so which meals should I take them wi-th???

Could you let me know roughly how much whey protein I will need for the 6 weeks approx and what cost the UPS will be?

Many thanks again Amanda

Just wondering how soon after the post workout can you eat the next meal? ie tomorrow I will be having meal 1 about 8am then doing a workout about 11.30am, my meal 2 is my lunch & don't really want to have it at 10.30-11am. Would it be wiser to have meal 3 (protein shake w/ apple) before my workout then my post workout meal (dble choc & cinnamon date protein bar - so yummy) which will be around 1pm then is it ok to have lunch (meal 2) about 2pm. Basically is it wrong to be mixing up the time of the meals??? I want to stick to your plan as close as I can so the results will show

Hi Brooke - bread, rye crackers etc are all OUT except post workout. Ditto for any food not on the shopping list. These are the sorts of food that MUST be timed correctly in order to see results, so PWO only.

Yep - 3,000mg per meal.

Re: Casein, its a protein found in dairy based foods so you must choose a non-fat, non-carb source of dairy for this meal. Skim milk is probably the only other food allowable here.

Hi Amanda, the total of the fish oil should be 12,000mg on training days, so you'd have 2 a day but keep it to M3 & M5
On non-training days, M1, M3 & M5

The whey protein I have is $45 for 1kg, you'd have more than enough to last for 1 person for 6 weeks. Could likely do 2 people quite easily.

Where can I find the chang's low cal noodles? I've looked at both Coles & Safeway & can't find them anywhere. I did however find "slim noodles" in the health section - is it ok to have this?

Any tricks in getting the homemade ice cream out of the container? It's so hard, is it just a matter of leaving it out for a long time before I am ready to eat it?

When it comes to salads is there any dressing you recommend or that we can have?

Thanks,
Andrea - still a little sore from y'day's great strength training

Hi Andrea - It's in the Asian section at coles but if you can't find it the slim noodles are exactly the same.
The ice cream is best served a little defrosted.

There are a few dressings on the website you can try but I don't tend to dress salads at all. If I do it's using lime juice, vinegar or mustard.

Hi Elissa,

Oh my gosh, my apologies for empty posts, not a techno wiz here

Was wondering, on a training day, if I train at night, do I just push all my meals up to stick to 3-4 hours eating, or can I swap M5 with post-workout training meal?

thanks

My apologies again, I don't know how to get rid of this

Hi Elissa,

Just wondering if we are allowed 'cheat meals' on this road test. I'm going out for diner on Friday night - Thai which is a training day, can I eat whatever I like or should I eat only as per the ebook M4 & m5? I was going to try to stick to it as much as I can but realise that a cheat meal no more than once a week is usually ok. If I was to eat Thai should I just stay away from the coconut milk based & fried foods? Should I eat as per normal for the M1-M3 as well as POW or decrease some of these to "make up" for the extra calories I will more than likely consume that night?

Thanks
Andrea

What's the best way to work what meals from your no cheating e-books are in relation to our Meals 1-6 training & no training days?

I would like to try the below but not sure where they should slot in TD or NTD & where:

High Protein, high fibre quiche - is this NTD M2,3,4 or 5
Mediterranean frittata with grilled chicken - is this NTD M1,2,3,4 or 5
Red wine, Chicken & mediterranean vegetable lasagne - is this TD M4 & NTD M2,3 or 5?

OFFLINE

Hi Andrea - all of the above recipes fit in any meal between 2 & 5 on a NTD
The lasagne is actually a wild card also - so feel free to make extra to save time.
