WELCOME TO TEAM LP3

LP3 is an abbreviation of The Ledbetter Project: Body, Mind & Soul. The phrase
Ledbetter is a shortened version of our slogan, Live Every Day Better. We
believe that in order to become successful in our goals we need to embrace the
challenge to live every day better. We believe in striving for daily improvements
rather than perfection. When it comes to nutrition this is true as well. It will take
time, practice, discipline, and consistency before you master your nutrition and
see results.

This packet is filled with information on macronutrients and includes an extensive


list of foods and their nutritional information. Reading through this material will
help you gain a better understanding when approaching foods, meal planning,
and meeting you macronutrient requirements.

Remember, that it will take time to feel comfortable and confident in


understanding macronutrients and meal planning. If you are uncertain about how
to calculate your bodys specific macronutrients and are interested in our
customized online training and nutritional programs please visit

We hope this Food List helps make your life a little easier!

IMPORTANCE OF MEASUREMENT

Properly measuring and weighing your foods is important. Each individuals body
will require a different amount of food to function optimally. The reason we must
learn to weigh and measure our foods is so that we understand the right
quantities our bodies need based on our body composition and goals. Every
persons body will burn a different amount of calories throughout the day based
on their metabolic capacity and activity level. The more you come to understand,
the more puzzle pieces you can begin to put together in regards to working
towards your goals. The table below was designed to assist with measurements
and conversions.

A CONCEPT WORTH REMEMBERING!

Correct measurements + Complete Macros Requirements = Success
