Thru her research, we know to use the numbers of 90-130 calories for the yellow container. I have referenced a chart in a number of my posts because it is an important piece of research into our containers.Ī blogger friend of mine went through the entire 21 Day Fix food list and found an average calorie range for every container. But like I just said it doesn’t take into account for thickness or width. Remember the example of bread “whole grain, 1 slice”. Our list gives us an amount for each one of the foods on our list. So right here I am going to talk about calories. Often times the amount of sugar in a recipe can greatly increase the number of calories in one slice, as can the size of the slice or thickness of the slice of bread. Bread and things like waffles or pancakes all have to have sugar in them in order to raise or crisp up, but we have to remember “no more than 8g of added sugar per serving” and no artificial sweeteners either. We do have the other “rules for all foods” that apply here too though. What else do we need to think about when picking a bread product?ĭo NOT be fooled by words like “multi-grain” or “12 Grain” especially if the word WHOLE is nowhere in sight! It just means it is made up of more than one grain but none of them are whole. Not sure what artificial sweeteners are in foods? There is some great information here. I do glance for artificial sweeteners because I avoid them. No need to read any further down that ingredient list. Water is sometimes the 1st ingredient and that is fine., but if “whole” is the 1st or second word the bread product IS approved. So that tells us that every bread that has whole grain as the first ingredient isapproved. Eleven times it says the words” whole grain or whole wheat” after the food. Our list gives us the EXACT data we need to determine what is approved. Let’s talk about ingredients for a minute I am going to cover almost everything else at the bottom of the list tho. I did an entire post about cereal and so I am not going to go back over those.
****This post is not about gluten-free options. You are left with the bottom 14 foods that are processed and prepackaged. When you get past the yellow made from nature, the top 23 foods on the list.
Most of them are on our yellow container food list. We have some foods on our lists that are always going to be premade.
#21 day fix check off sheet how to
Finding approved 21 Day Fix yellow container bread products can be daunting for a beginner for sure.Īfter losing 55lbs and living this lifestyle for almost 3 years now I have learned how to do just that! It is important for me to help teach you how you can too. I knew nothing about turning a package over and examining the ingredients list or nutrition panel. It was like I had not been making grocery shopping decisions my entire adult life! But my food “rules” had changed.
When I 1st started on the 21 Day Fix, one of the hardest things for me to do was to go in a store and pick something off the shelf and put it in my cart with confidence. Why did I write a post about finding yellow container products?
