shakeology (beachbody)

[vanasse2002]

I recently started the 21 day fix program from Beachbody. It is a 21 day work-out that also comes with an eating plan. I have about 15-20 pounds that I would like to lose so my plan is to keep repeating this until I reach my goal.
The work-out is a combination of cardio, pilates, and yoga with each day having a different focus. Weights and/or a resistance band are used during the work-outs.
In the meal plan portion, it is sort of like weight watchers in that you figure out what you can eat based on your weight. In this plan, there are containers that correspond to different food groups. Based on my weight, I get 4 portions of protein, 3 vegetables, 2 fruits, 2 carbs, 1 fat (like hummus/avocado), and 1 cheese. The portions are what fit into the different containers.
In addition to this, I have begun shakeology which is another beachbody product that is basically a protein powder. It is has alot of stuff in it like pro and pre-biotics and other healthy powerfoods. It says that it alkalizes the body.
On a typical day, here is what I have been eating:
Breakfast: lite greek yogurt, a piece of whole wheat toast with peanut butter, coffee with a splash of milk and one packet of truvia
Snack: piece of fruit (peach, banana, or melon)
Lunch: salad with either tuna or chicken, dressing of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegarette
Snack: shakeology shake with fruit in it (usually strawberries & blueberries)
Dinner: some type of meat, veggies, and rice/potato
Snack: if I have any containers left for the day I will put them into one last snack for the night
So, I know that on the typical boy sway diet, you would want to up your calories. What are your thoughts on this plan as it is right now? Would it really sway pink or is there enough blue friendly stuff there?
Thanks so much for anyone that responds!

Well, it's better than a lot of weight loss plans out there. I think you really need to up fat intake though and have some protein with those snacks.

I love the beach body workouts. I'm trying for a girl-doing the hip hop abs series. I'm on series 2 in order to bust through my plateau in weight loss and I've finally started to lose again. I've been doing it for a year and cardio 6 days per week an hour or more. And it's more cardio, lower impact.
I think the 21 day fix workouts as well as nutrition you list are boy friendly, but like atomic saidm as she is the expert, yes up the protein and fats. However, weight loss is girl friendly, while muscle gain will no be boys friendly...so....it may be good to get your muscle built up to where you'd like and weight down where you want it and maybe allow yourself to stay at plateau or what you want to be while adding more muscle a bit prior to ttc if that makes sense. Probiotics should help out as well as they sway blue.
