In addition to completing 80 intense workouts, you&#8217;ll follow a specially calibrated macro-nutrition plan that is timed around your workouts to produce amazing results.<\/p>\n<p>The 80 Day Obsession nutrition plan makes timed-nutrition easy with specific combinations of Beachbody Portion Control Containers for each meal. You&#8217;ll eat a light, pre-workout \u00a0meal 60-90 minutes before each workout that is made up of vegetables, protein, carbs, and a little bit of healthy fat. \u00a0Those eating at higher calorie levels will also have a serving of fruit. If you exercise in the morning this might be your first meal of the day, so make it count! \u00a0It will give you the fuel you need to power through \u00a0each intense sweat session.<\/p>\n<p>Use the 80 Day Obsession program guide to determine \u00a0which meal plan is right for you, then check out the \u00a0food lists to make simple combinations of the foods you like best. We hope you&#8217;ll get inspired by some of the delicious pre-workout meals we&#8217;ve created for you here. All of these dishes can be adapted for other calorie levels by adding or removing ingredients to make them match your meal plan&#8217;s prescribed containers. Don&#8217;t like an ingredient? Swap it out for something else on the food list for that color container.<\/p>\n<p>These pre-workout \u00a0meals aren&#8217;t just for people doing 80 Day Obsession.
