Not many threads on here relating to this so could someone with more knowledge than me explain it, because i have never thought about doing it up until now and im still not 100% im doing it right....lol paranoid or what heehee
As far as I am aware Mix2Max is you have your 3 meals a day but instead of having a red or green day you do it meal wise instead of day wise. So you could have a red breakfast Green Dinner and Red Tea. Hope that makes sense.
Basically you get 3 red or green 'plates' of food a day. On top of this you have your usual syns and healthy extras.
If you eat syns outside of your main meals (snacks/starters/deserts) you count the highest syn value if the red/green syn value differs.
If you have a meal (eg breakfast) which consists of only Healthy Extras and/or Superfree food you can have 3 more Red or Green meals that day. So you could have a neutral breakfast then lunch, dinner and supper!
The only thing you don't have to count in some way outside of the 3 red or green 'plates' of food is Superfree food - food free on either a red or green day.
Hope that makes sense, I love Mix2Max. I only tend to do red at lunch so I can have meat in my sarnie but I used to struggle with what to have in my packed lunch on a green day!
Yeah, once you have tried it once or twice it is actually quite easy and really makes life easier for me. It means that if I am out or on the road, I don't have to struggle to find something to eat, I just choose red or green when the meal pops up
There is a success express sticky. I would say mix2max has been replaced by extra easy as it follows a lot of the same principals and let's you mix red and green foods
