    So I am starting P3 in 72 hours or so. Protocol says to eat within 1500 calories or so. BUT if you can ONLY add one new food a day or so how can you get to the 1500? I have read every single P3 thread and I am mortified! Does anyone have meal plans?

    How can I reach 1500 calories if I continue to eat like P2 and only introducing a new food every few days or so?

    Im really nervous;(

    You can increase the amounts of the things you are already eating. Increase your protein at each meal, that will get the calories up.

    Eat more of what you are already eating. I don't think you have to worry about the repeating meats and veggies thing anymore, so you can mix things, have chicken twice a day, do a stir fry with several veggies and the meat, etc. I would think you can also cook with some fat too which will add some calories. Read that thread about the first thing you ate on P3...there are some meal ideas there. I start P3 on Wed, and I'm gonna add some dairy that first day -- a bit of some cheeses and 1/2 and 1/2 in my coffee. Probably a bunch of new veggies and maybe an avocado. Then I'm going for the pork. :)

    There is no arbitrary rule about 1500 calories. Just start eating more food as you can tolerate it. The first day or two it will even be hard to eat. You will feel stuffed. But oils add quite a bit of calories. and you can have fattier cuts of meat. Try to at least double your protein. It's not as hard as it sounds.

    Thank you. You know prior to HCG I hate "healthy", low fat, fat free etc. so I am really struggling with this. That and the fact I am really bad in the kitchen. Im not home all day so prepping meals can be a challenge aswell.

    Please keep your tips coming. I am SOOOO freaking out over P3!

    It's not imperative you add only one new food a day. Some people like to add the foods that seem to be the most troublesome one at a time--which are eggs, nuts and dairy. That way they can track if there are issues with those foods. Have all the protein and fat and vegetables you want. If you cook in butter, or use full-fat mayo, the calories are easy to get up there quickly. (Too quickly for me...I'm going overboard on flax crackers and almonds lately!)
