P90X Nutrition Guide and Plan
The P90x nutritional plan is the perfect match for the P90x workout program.
Tony Horton and the Beachbody nutritional crew did an awesome job putting together a diet plan that helps skyrocket your results, while working out. If you want to see astronomical results, the P90x nutritional plan must not be altered.
The guide contains lots of fish, lean chicken, turkey, lean beef, egg whites, and Shakeology. You can choose between a portion controlled diet vs. a well thought out daily menu. Both are very easy to follow! There are 3 approaches for each phase:
- Portion Approach – Designed for people who don't have allot of time to prepare meals. If you only have time to prepare 1 or 2 step meals, then this approach is for you.
- Meal Plan Approach – This approach is designed for people who like to to prepare nice, tasty meals. Specific meals are given, as well as recipes on how to prepare them.
- Quick Option Approach – This approach is designed for people who can't find time to eat, let alone cook. If your someone that's always on the go and just don't cook, then this plan is for you.
The P90x nutritional guide comes in 3 phases:
Phase I: Fat Shredder – Days 1-28 (Can be extended longer if you need to lose more weight) -With this phase, your daily proportions of Protein/Carbohydrates/Fat should be 50% Protein, 30% Carbohydrates, 20% Fat.
Beachbody recommends that you extend this phase if you need to lose more fat. If you're like me and most P90x's, you will probably start out in phase 1, level 1. In phase 1, level 1, Beachbody has recommeded the following daily portions of food:
Level 1 proportions:
- Proteins – 5 servings
- Dairy – 2 servings
- Fruits – 1 servings
- Vegetables – 2 servings
- Fats – 1 servings
- Carbs – 1 servings
- Condiments – 1 servings
- Snacks – 1 Single servings
- P90X Recovery Drink – 1 servings
- P90X Protein Bar – 1 servings
If your someone that already fairly in shape and don't need to lose lots of fat, you may start out at level 2:
Level 2 proportions:
- Proteins – 7 servings
- Dairy – 3 servings
- Fruit – 1 servings
- Vegetables – 4 servings
- Fats – 1 servings
- Carbs – 1 servings
- Condiments – 2 servings
- Snacks – 1 Double
- P90X Recovery Drink – 1 servings
- P90X Protein Bar – 1 servings
Level 3 proportions:
- Proteins – 9 servings
- Dairy – 4 servings
- Fruit – 2 servings
- Vegetables – 4 servings
- Fats – 1 servings
- Carbs – 1 servings
- Condiments – 2 servings
- Snacks – 2 Doubles
- P90X Recovery Drink – 1 servings
- P90X Protein Bar – 1 servings
Phase II: Energy Booster – Days 29-56 -With this phase, your daily proportions should be 40% Protein, 40% Carbohydrates, 20% Fat.
During the energy booster phase, you are suppose to decrease your protein intake and increase your carbohydrates. The proportions look like:
- Proteins – 4 servings (In phase 1, we had 5 servings of protein, but now it's 4)
- Dairy – 2 servings
- Fruit – 1 servings
- Vegetables – 2 servings
- Fats – 1 servings
- Carbs – 2 servings(In phase 1, we had 1 serving of carbohydrates, but now it's 2)
- Condiments – 1 servings
- Snacks – 1 Single serving
- Recovery Drink – 1 serving
- Protein Bar – 1 servings
Phase III: Endurance Maximizer – Days 57-90 -With this phase, your daily proportions should be 20% Protein, 40% Carbohydrates, 20% Fat Many people opt out of phase 3 because they feel there bodies can't handle 3 carbohydrates per day.
Here are the proportions:
- Proteins – 2 servings
- Dairy – 1 servings
- Fruit – 2 servings
- Vegetables – 2 servings
- Fats – 1 servings
- Carbs – 3 servings
- Condiments – 2 servings
- Snacks – 2 Singles serving
- Recovery Drink – 1 servings

Hi, of the 3 phases how important is it to stay with the fat shredder the entire 28 days? (that much protein is really hard for me to consume on a daily basis)
Mari,
Getting your protein is the most important aspect of the P90X diet. What you can do is start making yourself 2 – 3 whey/soy protein shakes per day.
That’s what I tend to do, and it has worked out really well for me. Make sure each protein shake gives you at least 15 – 30 grams of protein, so that you reap the full benefits.

Hello,
I am just starting the program and I wanted to know if I am fairly in shape but just want to lose my stomach area, is it necessary to start on the fat shredder phase.
Natalie,
Yes, it is necessary for you to start on the fat shredder phase. Here’s why…….In order for you to lose a large amount of stomach fat, it’s imperative that you consume large amounts of lean protein and small amounts of carbohydrates. I would recommend consuming only 1 starchy carbohydrate per day. By starchy carbohydrate I mean, bread, brown rice, potatoes…… All of your other carbohydrates should come from fresh vegetables and fruits.
I hope this helps!

Hello,
I have the DVD's but I want to order the following:
-P90X 3 Phase Nutrition Plan
-P90X Fitness Guide
-How to Bring It Video
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thank You !
Neil,
Thanks for contacting me!
To answer your question, P90x does not sell the nutrition guide, fitness guide and the “How To Bring It Video” separately from the actual DVD’s.
These items are all packaged in the original box that should have come with your DVD’s.
Are you saying these items didn’t come in your DVD package?
Toni
Toni,
Thank you so much for responding!
Yes they all came with my DVD's….I was just wondering if P90X does this…
Again thank you for your time!
Neil
Hi,i wad curious of i should start ay level 2 i don’t really have that much fat I’m quite lean but with the p90x I would like to tone up,is this a good approach to start at level 2?
Erik,
If you don’t need to lose much weight or fat, then yes, start with level 2. But still limit your carbohydrate intake. This will eliminate the possibility of you gaining allot of fat around your waist. I hope this helps.

hi,
i am considering canceling my gym membership and to stick with the p90x program. would this work? or should i still go to the gym whilst i'm on the program?
PJ,
You can by all means stick with the P90x program and cancel your gym membership. Here’s why……If you do the P90x workout program as designed, you really won’t have a need for a gym. You are suppose to do P90x 6 days a week and rest on Sundays. This means you’re getting plenty of workouts in.
I hope this helps.
Toni
I am looking for the nutrition plan, fitness guide, and calender. Do you know where I can get any of these?
Josh,
The nutrition plan, fitness guide, and calender should have come in your P90x package. Are you saying it didn’t come with your purchased P90x DVD set?
Toni
