stephhatfield Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I know the book says we'll be tired of eggs by day 10, but I'm already there, at day 3. Can anyone suggest some breakfasts that don't center around eggs? Or that at least do a good job of hiding the eggs in other stuff? :-) I'd be extremely grateful.

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2016 Google "Whole30 no egg breakfast" and you'll see thousands of suggestions. PS Stay away from the recipes trying to replicate porridge, pudding, or those that are fruit heavy. Stick close to the meal template. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephhatfield Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think of that, but obviously the detox is turning my brain to mush. Thanks so much for the suggestion. I already found a couple that look amazing. Here's what I'm trying first: A sliced banana topped with roasted, unsalted pecan pieces, a generous sprinkling of cinnamon and a splash of coconut milk. Maybe a side of complaint bacon.

Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted January 20, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 20, 2016 A good start, now you need some protein (bacon counts as fat) and veggies to meet the Template recommendations. Maybe a side of sliced, fried compliant chicken apple sausage or homemade pork sausage, then some broccoli or spinach sauteed in the grease? Mmm!

GFChris Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Check out this non traditional breakfast thread for some terrific no egg combinations that meet the recommended meal template of protein, veg and fat. The banana/nut combination above is more desserty, and contains no protein or veg, so it's not the best choice for a meal. Nuts are a fat on a Whole30. Don't let fruit push vegetables off your plate.

Steph Sorry Steph, this "meal" is missing the boat and not doing you any favours at all in learning to eat non-sweet foods for breakfast. You're basically just recreating a sweet "cerealy" type fruit/nut bowl. The search "Whole30 no egg breakfast" has a zillion options that do not rely on fruit or nuts. Leftover steak with sweet potato & asparagus, half avocado Chicken thighs sauteed with shredded cabbage & green beans, tossed in sunshine sauce Pork burgers, roasted brussel sprouts, homemade mayo for dipping If these sound distasteful or nauseating to you but the banana concoction sounds delightful, know that your hormones and blood sugar are out of balance and you are relying on "old habits" fit into the new Whole30 framework. Go savoury....protein, veggies and fat. You can do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laura_juggles Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Try to start thinking of it as "meal 1" instead of "breakfast". That made it easier for me to wrap my head around making a template meal out of whatever I had in the fridge rather than trying to make something breakfasty. I'm back to being ok with eggs now (day 20), but for a while I was having meatballs or steak and green beans for "breakfast". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
