When I did P90X (Buy P90X), this is how I tracked my calories and broke my food down into what I consider to be a serving size...this makes it much easier for me to track how much to eat per meal and how many calories I am getting per day. I am a habitual over eater with eyes bigger than my stomach, so this makes it easier for me to control my portion sizes....I will usually only eat 1 serving of carbs at a time, but I often will eat 2-3 servings of protein with a meal, and I also never measure my green or leafy vegetables. Tracking it this way makes it real easy for me to make sure that I am getting my daily calories and balancing out my foods and nutrients. Obviously some snacks and/or foods could be categorized in multiple categories, but I choose to place it where it fits best i.e. 1 serving of Black Beans has 15g of Protein and 40g of carbs, but I count it as a serving of carbs.

WANT TO GET IN THE BEST SHAPE OF YOUR LIFE IN JUST 90 DAYS?
400-500 CALORIE MEALS
Dividing your meals up into equal calories is a great way to kick start your metabolic rate and get your body burning fat. Right now I'm doing the INSANITY workout and I am taking in 3,000 cal/day by eating 500 calorie meals 5 times a day, and then having an early morning (5am) snack before I eat breakfast and then a Greek Yogurt 1 hour before bed. You can scale the calories down to either 300 or 400 calories per meal to fit your caloric needs by using my 'Food Choice Guide'.
