The STREET PARKING Nutrition TEMPLATES EXPLAINED…
The Street Parking Nutrition Templates are a simplified approach to weighing and measuring your food based on your body size and activity level. The Template provides your total daily servings for protein, carbs, fat, and veggies with ways to break them down into meals/snacks. The Recommended Food Chart we provide — a list of primarily whole, unprocessed foods — breaks down the serving size per item. You pick the foods you like and fill your serving size for each meal.
Each template provides you with the following:
A Template specific to your gender, weight class, and goal. The Template lays out suggestions of ways to breakdown your total daily servings across meals/snacks.
A How-to Guide with resources and guidance for understanding how to use your Template as well as customizing according to your specific needs and goals. Additional tools included: Daily Checklist, Food Log, Recommended Food Chart, Template Calculator.

TESTIMONIALS
Greg Schneider has changed how he looks at food..
Prior to buying the Street Parking Templates, I had lost about 30 pounds on my own nutrition plan, while following the daily Street Parking template. I was stuck at about 204 pounds. I plateaued there for a bit while playing with different foods and ratios. In the long run, I realized that my macro ratios were way off for what I actually needed to train and lose weight while performing.
I bought the 181-200 performance male template a week or so before the Fall Into Consistency challenge in 2019. I spent that week doing trial and error to find the meals and prep system that worked for me. I found that prepping large batches of simple foods worked best for my family. We're able to mix and match while subbing in fresh cooked items, such as roasted or grilled veggies and protein. We regularly keep large tupperwares of rice, chicken, green beans, mushed avocado, ground beef, and other simple ingredients. When making meals for the week, I prepare 5 lunches for my workweek. I cook my breakfast fresh, eat a meal prep for lunch, make dinner with a combination of fresh and prepared foods, and my "bonus meal" is a mix of either prepped mix-and-match or a meal I prepped that morning or the day before, such as overnight oats or a yogurt and berry parfait. This style of living is super easy for me. I can find the flavor combination that I want any time I go to the fridge, especially with a large spice cabinet. The meal types are endless when you mix up your proteins, carbs, veggies, and spices.
After following the template during my first 6 week challenge, I had lost about 12 pounds that I had struggled with for a while. I dropped down to about 192 pounds on average. On the performance template! Not even weight loss focused! I continued following the template through the next few months fairly consistently in preparation for a Crossfit Competition with a few fellow Street Parkers. I maintained body weight, but continued to improve my cardio capacity, endurance, and strength!
In total, I've lost around 9 inches from when I started template living. My weight is consistent around 192 still, but I have gained muscle while losing body fat. In the last year, I've also added massive strength gains. When testing my one rep max squat recently, I hit a 30# PR over last year. My times, reps, and weights on workouts are consistently improving when I retest, I feel like I have more energy, and I have significantly cut back on stimulant products. I still enjoy my coffee in the morning, but I no longer need pre-workout to feel "in the zone."
Template life has quite simply changed how I look at food and how I eat, for the better. I enjoy my splurge meals much more because they're meaningful, not just another trip to a fast food place. This is truly a nutrition plan that allows you to control the reins fully, yet be sustainable for the long run.
Erin Walters finds consistency and sustainability...
I joined Street Parking in July 2018, a year into my fitness/weight-loss journey. My entire life my weight had fluctuated and yo-yo'd and I would stick to some super unsustainable diet and fitness routine for a while, but eventually would give up and go right back to being sedentary and eating junk food all the time. In 2017 I had lost some weight on my own just by doing weight lifting and cutting out things like sugary drinks and junk foods, but was not seeing as much progress as I had hoped for, so I decided to give Street Parking a try. At first, I was only focused on the Street Parking workouts and still doing my own thing in regards to my nutrition. I thought I was doing alright in that department, but when the Fall Into Consistency Challenge came up in Oct 2018, I decided to try out the Nutrition Template.
I technically “failed” my first Nutrition Challenge. I tried to go 100% right off the bat and was doing great the first couple of weeks, but my dad suddenly passed away in the middle of the challenge, and it threw me off track. I had an off week, and then was met with a supportive Street Parking community, and instead of his passing completely derailing me, I was able to pick up where I left off with following the template.
After that, I realized this nutrition and fitness journey was a marathon, not a sprint. Not a 4-week challenge or something temporary, but a lifestyle change, and that this is why all of my other attempts at losing weight or becoming healthier had failed. The template truly has become a lifestyle to me, something that I will be able to sustain long-term. I used to think that all I needed was to eat a certain way or “diet” for a certain amount of time until I reached my “goal weight” and then I could go back to eating whatever I wanted, but after realizing that the quality of my food matters so much and makes me feel so much better and perform better in workouts, I know the template is something I will continue to stick with. I’ve also learned how simple it is to eat well, and that if I make sure to meal-prep and plan out my week, I don’t have to log or track everything that goes in my mouth, I can just live my life. It’s so freeing.
The template has also taught me that consistency is better and more important than perfection. That if I have an off meal, or off day, or even an off week, I don’t have to stress about it because this is a life-long journey towards health, not a quick-fix. I no longer even have a goal weight, nor am I focused on what the scale says. I’m not worried about how quickly the weight comes off anymore. I’m just living my life, eating the right things, doing my fitness, and trusting that because I’m fueling my body properly and taking care of it, the change will happen (and in the past year and a half amazing change has happened), even if it takes longer than I originally expected.

TEMPLATE FAQS
What is the cost of the SP Nutrition Templates?
The SP Template cost is $50.
How do I decide between Fat Loss or Performance? I want to lose fat AND gain muscle/get better at my workouts.
We encourage you to prioritize one goal, whichever is more important to you. Note that you may still experience fat loss on the performance template or performance improvements when on the fat loss template. It is important to know that the template you purchase is a starting point and a one-time purchase. You can make adjustments to the serving sizes in the future if needed.
I am right on the border between two weight classes. How do I decide which one to go with?
This is going to depend on your goals. If you are seeking fat loss, go with the lower weight class. If you are seeking performance, go with the higher weight class. It is important to know that the template you purchase is a starting point and a one-time purchase. You can make adjustments to the serving sizes in the future if needed.
If I purchase a Template now and my weight falls below the low end of the weight range, do I need to purchase a new Template?
Just because your weight drops below the low end of the weight range, doesn’t mean you need to make any adjustments. We encourage you to stick with your current plan until your progress stalls for 3-4 weeks. Only after that point do you need to make any changes. See the “Adjustments For Special Considerations” section of your How-to Guide which outlines procedures for making adjustments to serving sizes should you need to.
If I switch goals from Fat Loss to Performance (or vice versa), will I need to purchase a new Template?
You do not need to purchase a new Template. Once you purchase aTemplate and when the time comes to make changes in your nutrition to align with your goals, check out the “Adjustments For Special Considerations” section of your How-to Guide which provides you with guidance on how to do this.
What foods are on the Recommended Food Chart? Is [insert food here] on the food chart? If no, why not?
The Recommended Food Chart is a list of primarily whole, unprocessed foods which represent a selection of the four macronutrient categories we focus on: simple protein (including vegetarian/vegan options), carbs, fat, and vegetable choices.
While we recommend these foods, it does NOT mean that all other foods are “bad” or not allowed.
You can choose to include any foods that work for you and your goals. (See section “Tracking Off-Template Meals/Items” in your How-To Guide).
Do I need to jump in and follow the Template 100% right from the beginning?
You don’t need to jump right into following the Template. We have our Gradual Approach HERE for easing into utilizing the Template.
Will I get the macro breakdown of the template?
In developing these templates, we have already done the macronutrient math for you so you will not find any macro breakdown. In following the template, we highly encourage you to put down any macro tracking app and just eat your food. If you want to keep tracking of what you are eating, we completely encourage you to journal your food. When tracking macros in an app it is very easy to get caught up in the numbers and focus less on how the food makes us feel.
Are there plant-based options for the template?
The template itself is independent of any particular eating style. The food chart has vegan/vegetarian options for protein. That said, most of these options carry a significant portion of either carb or fat with them, so adjustments are often required to carb or fat servings when selecting these for protein options. Processed “meats” are not on the food chart.
Here is a list of the plant based protein sources you will find on the template:
Beans-Any type, chickpeas, hemp seeds, lentils, low fat tofu, nutritional yeast, seitan, soy beans, tempeh, tofu
I am pregnant. Which template should I purchase?
Congratulations! For our expecting mamas, we recommend you purchase the Postpartum Template, and follow the food chart and instructions for the palm method (included with your purchase.)
I am breastfeeding my baby. Which template should I purchase?
We have a specific template for breastfeeding mamas. When you purchase this template, you will receive a questionnaire which helps us understand more about you and your needs, including nursing frequency.
