My goal with these resources is to provide people with things they can use. No setup is going to be perfect for everyone. You do need to be mindful of where you need to be and select the correct sheet for your needs. You also need to customize the sheet to your caloric intake. This is really the reason I add my email address and encourage everyone to contact me if they have questions. info@thefitclubnetwork.com if you need anything.

The videos were very useful. I recently bought the app and I am confused about many things. I found myself spending much more time about thinking and obsessing if i do everything right than the real work out. I really need some coaching. Especially the nutrition part of the app is very difficult. i am a foreigner from a country that uses metric system; idea of serving is a little bit strange. i need to transform everything all the time. at this point i am confused let s say if i eat 1 big chicken breast how will i record this in the app. monica s video was good but it doesn t go deep down to details. thank u for getting back to me. alex  Hello.

Everyone is a little different and it takes time to find what works for you.  info@thefitclubnetwork.com if you have any questions or just want to bounce ideas off of me.  Is that the number you get when you enter your weight in the spreadsheet?  Keep in mind that the P90X plan adds 600 calories to your day, so you should remove those to create a deficit and promote weight loss if that’s your goal.  You’ll want to play with it a bit as well.

The plans are very similar in structure.  I think we've done a better job with the spreadsheets and explaining how to calculate your snacks.  Greek yogurt would be calculated as dairy.  It is a good protein source as well, but it's a dairy officially.

Love the video where Monica uses the little cards to schedule her food for the day.  I'm a third grade teacher, and I really appreciate this type of visual. Thanks.
