Many of you are already balancing your full macros- carbs, proteins and fats! Great job! If you’re still struggling to hit the right numbers it’s been high fat and low carbs for most that I’ve talked to. The challenge this week is to hit your calorie count while dialing in your protein.
Protein is used as building blocks for muscle repair, making hormones along with keeping your skin, hair and nails healthy. Adequate protein intake can help you recover from hard workouts and improve performance.
Opting for lean meats like turkey, chicken and fish can help you hit your protein goal without going over on fats. Another great source for me is yogurt- mine it packs 15-20 grams of protein with a good level of carbs. Read the labels and grab what works for you!
Week 2 – Physical Challenge
Run or Walk 5 miles this week. It doesn’t have to be all at once. 1 mile a day for 5 days or break it up however you’d like. Get it done by Saturday and message “5 Miles Done” in the app for 200 bonus points.
Pro Tips
Summer Shred Points
If you’re playing along for points here are the current standings. You have the opportunity to get 60-75 points per day during the week and about 170 points for hitting all your numbers on the weekend. This challenge board is always moving. This is the update as of 6:30am Sunday morning. I’ve got my all food logged today so I’m ahead of the game! Planning ahead is the key to winning in this game…and in your journey to health and fitness. Keep it going!
