21 Day Fix Container Cheat Sheet:

Purple Container: Fruits like blueberries, strawberries, mango, and banana. Red Container: Proteins like chicken breast, salmon, eggs, and tempeh. Yellow Container: Carbohydrates like sweet potato, brown rice, tortillas, whole-wheat bread, and wine (yes, wine!).

What You Can't Eat on 21 Day Fix. Fried foods, ice cream, pastries, candy, butter, sour cream, mayonnaise, and soda are not included in 21 Day Fix. You may substitute one of your yellow containers for wine. You may drink coffee and tea but no processed creamer (my weakness!).

Cheese Pizza – You're allowed 1/4 of a 12″ pizza (mind you most pizzeria pizzas are NOT 12″) and it counts as 2 yellow and a blue on your Tally sheet. Do NOT make this meal the equivalent of calories to a full day of meals. This is why some people don't to use a cheat/splurge meal.
