The Water Is Back On!
Nutrition Challenge Scoring – Today, in the comments section you must post your food, drinks, sleeping, and supplementation points to the comments section.

Food – 1 primal meal + 1 grass fed – 1 non primal = 2
Supplements – 2 grams EPA = 1
Drinks = 2 vodkas = 0
Sleep – 7 hours = 1
Total = 4
3 primal meals = +3
1 grass fed source = +1
Fish oil & 2 grams EPA = +1
7 hours sleep = +1
Total = +6
Can someone post the points scheme? I’ve never been a good note taker…
Food- 3 primal meals + 1 gf=4
sleep- 9 hrs (excessive, but making up for the weekend)= Is that 2?
Total- 6? I think?
People looking for good bacon (and meats in general) check out local farmers markets. A lot of farmers are catering to the foodie/locavore movement and providing more grassfed/pastured goods. A lot of farmers sell directly off the farm as well. If you’re looking for quality farm goods, check out eatwild.com Here’s the NJ page: http://www.eatwild.com/products/newjersey.html
food: 3 primal meals +3
snacks/other: raw almonds & berries, 1 peach, post workout shake (whey and water)
Drink 2 cups black coffee, water all day, coconut water dinner: 0
supplement: 2.5 grmas EPA fish oil: +1
Sleep 7 hrs: +1
Total = +5
Withdrawing from the competition – good luck everyone!
I’m still going to try to be as healthy as possible, but work is too busy right now for me to be tracking and posting in such a detailed way every day – sorry for throwing my name in the ring and changing my mind so quickly! I’ll be a good cheerleader 🙂
Food:  3 Primal Meals = +3
Supplementation:  2.4 Grams EPA = +1
Drinks:  2 cups Coffee = 0
Sleep:  8+ hrs = +2
Total:  +6
I have a question about protien shakes. Can I drink one as meal replacement? If so, how would that work?
Food- protien shake =0
Tea=1 cup =0
Supplements=0
Sleep = 7 =1
total=1
Here are some answers to your questions:
1.) Today you are posting Monday’s point total which includes your meals, drinks, supplementation and Monday night’s sleep. Sunday night’s sleep is irrelevant.
2.) Protein shakes are not encouraged. We want you eating real food. A post workout protein shake is okay. We will allow you to have one protein shake per day, but it must be with Grass-Fed Whey that is unsweetened. You can find a good brand here – http://www.strongerfasterhealthier.com. You want the natural whey. Remember all forms of processed sugars are not allowed, and that includes artificial sweeteners. Also, if you are looking to lose weight, dairy can hinder your results, so limit your dairy intake.
3.) Supplementation – We are asking that you take 2+ grams of EPA alone, not EPA/DHA. So if your fish oil pills are 500mg EPA / 400mg DHA, you need to take 4+ pills.
4.) Wild Food vs. Supplementation. This is an either or. If you eat wild, and supplement, you still only collect 1 point.
Food- 3 Primal Meals- +3
2 Cups Black Coffee- 0
Supplements- +1
Sleep 8 Hours- +1
Total- +5
6/27/11
Food – 3 primal meals = 3
Supplements – 2 grams EPA = 1
Sleep – 7 hours = 1
Total = 5
Food: 3 Primal Meals +3
1 cup coffee, 1 cup green tea, water zero
Sleep: 6.5 hours (what’s the points for this?)
Total: +3 or less depending on the sleep scoring. (the newsletter says less than 6 hours is -2 and more than 7 hours is +1.)
Also, is green tea grouped with regular caffeinated tea?
Sleep –
<6 hours = -5
6-7 = 0
7-8 = +1
8-9++2
9+ = +3
hopefully im doing this right (can’t find the list of how the points work)
food- 3 primal meals + 2 primal snacks= 4?
drinks- water, wine- 2
sleep- 9 hours- 2
total points- 8 (i think)
this was actually 7 total points.. no points for drinks but add 1 for grass fed
sleep- 8-9 hrs (2)
primal meal – 3
2 cups of coffee – 0
vitamin water zero – (-1)
total –> 4
Tim–totally going to need to read the newsletter so I can properly score myself. Great job everyone on the start of this challenge :). Working the night shift is going to mess up my points 3-4 days a week, so I’ll have to be stronger in other areas–lol!!
Food: 3 primal meals = 3
Pastured/Grass Fed sources = 1
Drinks: water & decaf herbal tea = 0
Sleep: 8 hours = 1
Total = 5
Great job on your points everyone!
I have one scoring change to make that was wrong in the newsletter. It shouldn’t alter anything too much. (sorry DMac).
Soft Drinks or any other highly sugary drink (artificial sweeteners count)
1 Drink = -1
2 Drinks = -3
3+ Drinks =-5
Sorry for the mix up!
Decided to do the challenge last minute. I am going to try and stick with primal meals. Tomorrow will be better!
Food: 1 primal meal and two non-primal meal = -3
only water
9 hours of sleep = +2
Total = -1
Meal =3
Supp =1
Sleep =0
Drink =-1
Tot =4
I will post mine later. I’m too hungry to think right now ;0).
Wheat Thins = 0
Ugh- spaced that we were starting yesterday! Today is much better
Food: 0 primal meals = -6
Pastured/Grass Fed sources = 0
Drinks: water & decaf herbal tea = 0
Sleep: 7 hours = 1

So impressed with everyone that I pushed the beds out of the way and made my friend do a WOD with me here in my hotel room in Venice. Can’t wait to start this challenge and with the amount of pizza and gelato I am eating, I will need it bad. Keep up the good work!

Meal #3 1
Grass-Fed, Pastured or Wild Source
Fish Oil – 2+ Grams EPA Per Day

total=4
(totally should have had wine last night…lol…anyway…)
I’m seeing a negative 1 every morning I wake up because I always have a cup of OJ when I wake up…I guess I’ll just have to sacrifice that negative point because like my mom says, “A morning without OJ, is like a morning without sunshine”…….lol!!!!
Good job, everybody!!!! Tim, I have some questions tomorrow about things like honey and cous-cous……..see you then 😉
I’m not going to bother participating in this since it’s literally impossible for me to get six hours of sleep. There’s no way that I’d ever finish with a positive amount of points.
Is there a prize for the least amount of points?
Primal Meals: 3+1 =4pts
Sleep: 8.5 hrs = 2pts
Tea: 0pts
Wine: 1/2 glass = 0pts
Gym count for this week: 1 day
Total: 6pts
