Day 3 - Tired of eggs

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.

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.

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.

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!

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".
