21 Day Fix Meal Plan for Two Recipe ideas (2024)

FAQs

What foods are good for the 21 day fix? ›

You'll notice that avocado and nuts are at the top of the food list while cheese is at the bottom of the food list. You can use cheese in your blue container every day, but if you hit a weight loss stall you're going to want to switch these foods up a bit.

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.

"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."

The 21-day diet plan is a popular approach, but people often wonder how much weight they can lose in this timeframe. Experts recommend setting realistic goals and aiming to lose 1 or 2 pounds per week, which adds up to 3 to 6 pounds in 21 days.

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).

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.

Yes! But (there's always a “but,” right?)… here are the rules about coffee and tea: Unlimited: You can drink all the coffee and tea you want, as long as you only use these Fix-approved add-ins: cinnamon, lemon, pumpkin spice, and nutmeg.

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!).

What if I can't eat all my containers on 21 day fix? ›

What if I can't finish all my Containers? Just eat what you can. But don't use that as an excuse to skip your Green Containers (Vegetables)!. If you're not finishing meals, eat those first.

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.

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