The Right Nutrition
Whether you’re looking for weight maintenance, more energy, better performance, or healthy aging, nutrition is a main component of achieving your goals. With easy-to-follow guides and support included in each of the systems and paks, Isagenix solutions provide a great road map to guide you toward your ideal self.
But, what about that alternate meal—the suggested 400-600 calorie lunch or dinner that completes a typical system? Many of us wonder how to select and prepare meals that will not only fit into the correct calorie range but will also complement our Isagenix products and help us reach our goals. Plus, you want it to taste good, too. Right?
What Your 400-600 Calorie Meal Should Include
Isagenix solutions not only provide high-quality nutrition, they also include a guideline to consuming the proper amounts and the right kinds of nutrients for your alternate meals. According to Isagenix System guides, a typical 400-600 calorie meal should fulfill the correct food groups and portion sizes.
*Please note, you may need to adjust your calorie intake to fit your specific goals.
