This is a program of choice, you can eat any of the products anytime of the day. I recommend eating the restricted for breakfast (which is what I do) or lunch just because it has more calories, keeps me fuller and has most of the day to burn off. This of course is only my opinion
Is there some rule that the restricted needs to be at lunch? The spreadsheet seems to imply that.
Nope, it's just a guideline. If you notice some of the breakfasts are also in red - it's just to make sure you don't accidentally plan 2 restricteds in one day. Some days I like to have a bar for breakfast, so I plan an unrestricted lunch. Other days I have a shake for breakfast so that I can have one of the restricted snacks with lunch.
I found that I am forever forgetting my log sheet, so I added my fitness planner to my iphone, which is always with me. I log in there, then transfer when I go to weigh in. Much better for me personally :O)
I was looking at that program! I actually use this template to plan my entire week ahead of time. I have a ziplog baggie for each day of the week, and I plan out all my packets and meals on the template. I put the packets in the baggie for that day and I'm good to go all week! It helps me stay organized!
I think lack of organization is my problem - lol. I don't plan ahead, then, oops! I'm starving!! I go back to work in another week, so I really do need to plan ahead for sure, or I may fall back into my old habit! I find that getting to the bathroom, snack time, lunch time ... all of that is much harder when I am teaching (my body just doesn't get that whole school bell system :O)
I love my fitness planner because it has IP foods already there. Sometimes adding veggies can be a bit confusing as I don't fix them the way they are listed; I just take what is closest so I have the day recorded.
I will check out your planner; maybe it will help me organize too.
If you have the Excel / spreadseet template could you e-mail it to me at [email protected] THANKS!!

The lines that are RED indicate a restricted packet, that way you don't have to worry about having too many in one day!
I have to be on the forum a little longer before you can send me messages, but I also have this in an excel spreadsheet. Once I can receive messages, I'm happy to email that to you if you PM me your email! (Can't upload excel files here). I'm more of a spreadsheet girl than a word document girl
