21 Day Fix Container Cheat Sheet:

Purple Container: Fruits like blueberries, strawberries, mango, and banana. Red Container: Proteins like chicken breast, salmon, eggs, and tempeh. Yellow Container: Carbohydrates like sweet potato, brown rice, tortillas, whole-wheat bread, and wine (yes, wine!).

The other “Red Container Foods” on the list. These other foods are ones that usually have a bit of information tagged on to them. For example … Eggs, 2 large or 8 whites.

Use the following equation. It will determine your daily caloric intake allowance for you to lose weight on the 21 Day Fix. Basically, the equation is “your weight” X 11 = your baseline calories. Daily Caloric Needs – 750 = Calorie Target to lose weight with the 21 Day Fix Program.

Example: Bread, whole grain, 1 slice. So that tells us that every bread that has whole grain as the first ingredient is approved. Water is sometimes the 1st ingredient and that is fine., but if “whole” is the 1st or second word the bread product IS approved.

The best option is to use real peanut butter. The healthy fats are good for you. However, if you do use PB2 count it as a teaspoon (you can add a little bit more).

Thankfully you can still eat pasta on the 21 Day Fix, as long as you measure it according to your yellow container guidelines!

What You Can't Eat on 21 Day Fix. Fried foods, ice cream, pastries, candy, butter, sour cream, mayonnaise, and soda are not included in 21 Day Fix. You may substitute one of your yellow containers for wine. You may drink coffee and tea but no processed creamer (my weakness!).

Cheese Pizza – You're allowed 1/4 of a 12″ pizza (mind you most pizzeria pizzas are NOT 12″) and it counts as 2 yellow and a blue on your Tally sheet. Do NOT make this meal the equivalent of calories to a full day of meals. This is why some people don't to use a cheat/splurge meal.

Meal Planning

The updated 21 Day Fix food list includes bone broth, mayo, and butter!

Two large eggs equal one serving of protein with the 21 Day Fix. I usually make a batch using 4 eggs or 2 servings. With the assumption that you have already boiled eggs ready for this recipe, you can proceed with the recipe. If you do NOT have eggs boiled already just follow your favorite way of doing them 1st.

Red Container = Protein

You can fill your red container with any kind of protein, like yogurt, eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, tempeh, or a scoop of Shakeology.

"The 21-Day Fix claims people can lose up to 15 pounds in 21 days. By portioning foods into color-coded containers and exercising, weight loss is promising, but probably not to the promised degree. Experts dislike the short-term focus and suggest some may find it too restrictive."

With the 21 Day Fix Eating Plan, you'll use color-coded Portion-Control Containers: Green Container for veggies, Purple Container for fruit, Red Container for proteins, Yellow Container for carbs, Blue Container for healthy fats, Orange Container for seeds and healthy dressings, and teaspoons for oil and nut butter.
