AND ALONG THE WAY WE’VE SEEN MANY OF THE SAME QUESTIONS ASKED,
SO WE’VE TAKEN THE TIME TO PULL THESE QUESTIONS TOGETHER FOR YOU:

Q: DO THE MEAL TIMES HAVE TO BE EXACT?

CAN I DO INTERMITTENT FASTING?
Thankfully, no it does not have to be exact. The meal times are just suggested. Everyone has
different schedules and we understand that, your meal plan can and should be adjusted to fit your
schedule and your hunger levels, as long as you are hitting your recommended calories and macros
you’re good!

Intermittent Fasting is a diet protocol that has seen a lot of popularity lately, there are a variety of
ways to do this, but it involves limiting the window of time you consume calories for a given day.

THE MOST COMMON STRATEGY USED IS THE 16-8 METHOD, WHICH

MEANS YOU EAT ALL YOUR DAILY CALORIES IN AN 8 HOUR WINDOW
AND CONSUME NO CALORIES FOR THE OTHER 16.

Skip breakfast and just do lunch and dinner or vice versa. This has many associated benefits from
anti aging to increased fat loss and is a great way to achieve faster results. Metabolizing food is an
assembly line of effort from your organs to the pathways that deliver the nutrients to your muscles,
but after about 12 hours of no new food to process your body goes into maintenance mode.
This means that those organs and pathways are cleaning and repairing so they can work more
efficiently and effectively.

If you have questions about times to eat and adjustments, ask your trainer for more information!

Q: CAN I HAVE A CHEAT MEAL?
NOT YET! If you can hold out we like to wait about 10-14 Days before incorporating a cheat meal.
You need to give your body time to adjust before it can optimally bounce back from a cheat meal,
but if you have a sweet tooth you do have options! A protein shake is a great way to curb the sweet
tooth… here is my daily recipe that keeps the sugar monster at bay while still being extremely
healthy and loaded with nutrients:

• 1 Scoop SCULPT NATION VANILLA PROTEIN

• 1 Scoop SCULPT NATION GREENS

• Handful of frozen raspberries

• Coconut/Almond Milk

• Handful of Ice

P.S. THIS IS A GREAT MEAL REPLACEMENT OPTION! THE GREENS FORMULA

PROVIDES ANTI-OXIDANT SUPERFOODS, POWERFUL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
COMPOUNDS AND THE POWERFUL BENEFITS OF COLLAGEN. THIS COMBINED
WITH THE SCULPT NATION VANILLA WHEY PROTEIN GIVES YOU A DENSE
HELPING OF ENERGY AND NUTRIENT RICH CALORIES TO GO!

Q: WHAT IS A MACRO?
A “macro”, short for macronutrient, is any one of the three primary food groups that contain
calories: Fat, Protein and Carbohydrate

• FATS are most commonly found in things like nuts, oils, fattier cuts of meat and
certain vegetables like an avocado

• PROTEIN comes in a wide variety of foods like lean meats, eggs, chia seeds, beans
and protein powders

• CARBOHYDRATES are found in vegetables, grains, flours, rice as well as in nuts

(usually in smaller amounts)

EXTRA TIP: MICRONUTRIENTS ARE THINGS LIKE VITAMINS AND MINERALS. NO CALORIES
BUT INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT! ASK YOUR TRAINER FOR MORE INFORMATION AND HOW
TO GET THE PROPER MICRONUTRIENTS TO KEEP YOUR BODY RUNNING STRONG.
 PERSONAL TRAINING GUIDES
Q: WHAT CAN I COOK MY FOOD IN?
This is your preference but be sure that it fits your macros. Stick to natural, unprocessed fats, oils
and cooking sprays, and be sure to let your trainer know what you are using or what you prefer to
use so we can update accordingly.

Spices are a great way to making your meal planning a bit more exciting and the best part is the
calories are negligible and the minerals found in spices cane have major benefits.

Q: ARE SUPPLEMENTS REQUIRED?
No, not at all, but they do serve a purpose. Supplements give your body an extra shot of the good
stuff and give your diet and training efforts an extra boost to help you see results faster.

PROTEIN POWDER and GREENS Formula are both excellent meal replacements as we mentioned
earlier, but other important supplements to consider are:

• BCAAS, CREATINE, PRE WORKOUT

& POST WORKOUT - If you are training
hard in the gym these formulas will help
you recover faster and train harder

• BURN, BURN PM & TURMERIC are in our

FAT LOSS STACK. These are powerful
tools that can ignite your efforts and
10x your results

• NOOTROPICS are supplements focused

on the brain. Your brain is the most crucial
piece of the whole equation. Focus, clarity
and will power come from the brain and
will be the difference between passing on
a donut or stopping for that late night fast
food fix.

Think of supplements as a multiplier to what you are already doing. If you are dieting and training
the supplements will have incredible effects. The more diligently you train and the more precise
your diet the better the effects will be!

Ask your trainer about what is best for you and which supplements you should consider taking
