TurboFire: First Thoughts

I started P90X on 4/4/11 which I love but I kept hearing such good things about other Beachbody programs.  I was interested in doing something more fast-paced and upbeat.  After discussions about the benefits and energy of other programs like Slim n 6 I ordered TurboFire.

Workouts/schedule
I received TurboFire yesterday, today I decided to try a workout to see what this is all about... WOW!!  I tried HIIT 15 and Stretch 10.  I need more coordination and energy to keep up with Chalene!  She is amazing!  Once I started figuring out the moves and listening to the music I was much better at keeping up with the changes.  I have a LOT of work to do!

The dvds came with a 5-day Inferno Plan.
Step 1: Estimate your body fat percentage.  I don't have a way to accurately measure so I used a couple online calculators (http://teambeachbody.com/eat-smart/nutrition-tools/body-fat) (http://scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html) to get an estimate.  Between the two, my body fat percentage is 15.6% to 17%.
Step 2: Add more calories.  The meal plan that came with TurboFire's Inferno Plan is designed for women with a body fat percentage higher than 20%.  With my weight and body fat percentage, I need to add 100 calories to my meal plan.  I recently increased my daily calories from 1400 to 1750 so I am not going to increase my calories right now.

Meal Plan
It's time to go shopping for the new meal plan according to the Inferno plan!  There are foods on here I typically don't eat so I may need to change it up a little bit.  Or a lot.  The more I look at it, the more I find foods that are not within my eating clean plan or foods that make me sick.  Hmmm, maybe I can't use this meal plan.  For example:
Day 1
Breakfast:
1 slice low-fat turkey bacon
2 slices whole wheat toast
1 egg, scrambled
1/2 tomato, sliced
I don't eat wheat bread, it gives me migraines.  I don't eat eggs, they make me nauseous and bloated.  I'm not sure about the turkey bacon.
Snack:
1/2 medium banana and 7 walnut halves. - Ok, as long as there isn't much fruit in this plan.
Lunch:
3 cups mixed greens
4 oz water packed tuna
5 cherry tomatoes
1 stalk celery
3 scallions
2 tbsp fat-free ranch
I don't eat fish, I have never liked it.  I don't eat onions, they cause digestion problems and body odor.  Fat-free ranch is disgusting, it's fake and is NOT allowed on my clean eating plan.
Snack:
Shakeology with water, almond butter and blended with ice.
This is what I usually have for breakfast.
Dinner:
4 6-oz chicken breast halves
1/3 c dijon mustard
1 tbsp parsley
salt
4 c broccoli
4 tbsp parmesan cheese
garlic
This is something I would eat, except the parmesan cheese.

Daily totals:
Calories: 1183
Fat: 41 g
Protein: 107 g
Carbs: 101 g
Fiber: 16.5 g

So, obviously I need to make some modifications.  The calories are way too low.  Not all foods align with clean eating.  We'll see how that turns out.
