80 Day Obsession Meal Plan A - Recipes and Tips! - Amanda Seghetti (2024)

Last updated

Autumn Calabrese and Beachbody are back again with an amazing workout program! 80 Day Obsession was created to give you flat abs and a sculpted booty – and a fit body in between! The key to success with 80 Day Obsession is the timed nutrition eating plan – and I’m sharing my 80 Day Obsession meal plan to help you get the results you’re looking for!

What is 80 Day Obsession?

80 Day Obsession is a home workout program with celebrity fitness trainer Autumn Calabrese. Autumn previously gave us 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, Country Heat, and The Master’s Hammer & Chisel. (Check out my 21 Day Fix and 21DFX meal plans for more meal ideas.)

The 80 Day Obsession program uses 80 different workout videos, offered exclusively on Beachbody on Demand. These workouts combined with a timed nutrition program, Shakeology, and the Beachbody Performance Line, can give you incredible results!

How Do the Colored Containers Work?

The colored containers, or portion control containers, are the same ones we first saw with 21 Day Fix.

Each container is used to measure a specific food group to help you manage the proper portions for your personal calorie range. Instead of counting macros or weighing your food, the portions help you to meal prep to continue a healthy eating lifestyle by showing you about how much of each type of food is recommended.

Unlike 21 Day Fix, Autumn uses a timed nutrition eating plan to take 80 Day Obsession up a notch. She gives you the best container combinations to ensure you get the proper fuel and nutrition to really maximize the effectiveness of your workouts!
