The 21 Day Fix program was released about three years ago, which is about the same amount of time most fad diets and workout programs begin to fade away.
But when it comes to the 21 Day Fix, I don’t see the 21 Day Fix portion control diet going anywhere anytime soon. This is why I have decided to create a new category on this blog dedicated entirely to 21 Day Fix-approved recipes.
The goal is to bring you one new recipe each week. I see a weblogs that call their recipes as 21 Day Fix allowed, but then they use ingredients that are not Fix-approved. The recipes I post here will only use 21 Day Fix-approved foods.
The recipes I will be posting will:
- Use 21 Day Fix-approved ingredients only.
- Be adaptable to your own tastes and needs.
- Be quick and easy to make.
- Not contain huge lists of ingredients.
The first recipe in this series is going to be a simple 21 Day Fix approved pot roast. This can either be slow cooked in the crock pot (my personal favorite) or baked in the oven.
Hi Bethany, how do you calculate the containers? I’m allowed 4 red, and looking at the BB 21 Day Fix food list, 1 red seems to be ~130 calories of protein (I did it by looking at the calories for 4-5 items on their list and then taking the average). A 3lb chuck roast is 1796 calories (300g protein, 57g fat), so divided by 6 that would be ~300 calories, which is 2 red but your recipe says only 1. I’m trying to make recipes as well and I just can’t figure out the container values. Thanks!
Hi Mandy, Thank you for commenting. I have 1 red as a serving size just as an example for a portion. You could do 2 reds or even 3 red portions, you just increase or decrease the amount of protein(red containers used). I hope that makes sense. Bethany
Nutrition info please!!
Hi Emily, I’d recommend using a third party nutrition tracker like myfitnesspal. I find that to be pretty accurate and you can select different serving sizes to make it easier.
Would be awesome if you could include nutritional values…
Hi Madalyn, I’ll look into it. Thanks Bethany
I have the containers and have been saving pintrest recipes for months but still haven’t started. I don’t seem to understand how to start. Do you have any ideas. I am 76 years old and probably 100 lbs overweight. I want to lose the healthy way. No starvation diets. I just don’t know how to get started. I love the Pot Roast idea but don’t eat a lot of meat.
Hi LaVon, I would start by calculating your 21 Day Fix container level and then setup a meal plan for the week, here is a sample of mine – https://thefitnessfocus.com/21-day-fix/sample-meal-plan-grocery-shopping-list-21-day-fix. You can then use the tracking sheets to check off the containers for each day to make sure you are getting the appropriate containers each day. Bethany
