SnS and exercise, weight training etc..

I'm starting slim and save on Friday when my packs arrive, and will be following the 3 packs a day with the 100g of white meat (no veggies cause I don't like them) and taking multivitamins too.

Only thing I'm wondering, is do many of you have regular exercise regimes? I go to the gym a few times a week, lift a lot of weights and do heavy weight training & then do cardio too. Will I be ok to continue with this while on SnS? Will I require more food on the days I train? But bear in mind I can't afford more than 3 packs a day...

I should add that I have a protein shake at home, the brand is ProTrim and it's low carb, high protein and contains green tea. It's 151 calories per shake.. Would it be advisable to have a protein shake on the days I train along with my slim and save packs?

A lot of is train daily on plan myself included

I powerlift and weight train 5-6 times a week.

An extra pack is recommended but a shake will work. Make sure the carbs are low - what's the profile on that shake hun??

You won't have any trouble training on plan Xx

Per serving the shake is..

151 calories.
24.5g protein.
3.6g fat.
- 2g of which saturates.
6.4g carbohydrates.
- 5.4g of which sugars.
356mg of fibre.
360mg of green tea.
540mg of l-carnitine.

Less carbs than a shake, should be fine hun

I try to stick to ones with 0 or under 3g but that's mainly as I like to be able to double scoop on powerlifting days

Shake post workout on training days should work, see how you feel hun xxx

Okay thanks the thing that put me off with slim and save before is thinking I wouldn't be able to workout while on the plan, but knowing I can has cheered me up!
