penotti Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Not too sure if this is allowed,but sometimes this is a great & quick post workout "meal"; mash a banana, egg & 1 tbsp of cocoa powder together and zap it in the microwave for about 1 min. Would this be ok to have? It's really nice with some almond butter too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2013 Neither a banana or a whole egg is a good post-workout meal. Fruit is a poor carb source after a workout and a whole egg digests slowly because of the fat of the yolk. Mashing a banana with an egg and some cocoa sounds like an attempt to create a dessert, which means you should not do it during a Whole30. Adding almond butter makes it more of a dessert. This is a poor meal choice overall at any time. You can and should do much better during a Whole30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penotti Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks Tom for the response, I haven't been eating this on my whole30, but it popped in my head today from memory and I was just wondering. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penotti Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 P.S. I can't seem to really find a good post workout meal, other than tuna (ugh) & chicken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derval Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 P.S. I can't seem to really find a good post workout meal, other than tuna (ugh) & chicken? I know Tom likes to neck a tin of sardines which may be double ugh for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 24, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2013 My gym banned me from eating sardines inside. While the weather is cold, I've shifted to canned tuna. When I have chicken in the refrigerator, I sometimes bring breast meat with me to the gym for a post-workout meal. The key to post-workout meals is lean protein and optionally starchy veggies. The classic meal is chicken breast and sweet potato. Tuna packed in water works okay. Egg whites are a choice, but I don't like to separate whites and yolks.

Aberrantatavia Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Sardines are yum yum yum! Tom, I try not to eat mine at work either, my co-workers were not impressed with my tinned snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 26, 2013 I was inspired to try sardines after watching a co-worker add them to a fresh salad for lunch several times. They looked good on greens in a way the cans by themselves never had before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little_muffin Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Out of interest, what greens would you have with this? I adore sardines, tuna,basically just about any fish & always have a can of something in for if I'm hungry. Chuck some frozen greens in a pan, 5 minutes and I'm away. Just wondering what you woul have with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aberrantatavia Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 I make a regular salad with lots of good greens and veges and add them. I also like them on top of zucchini noodles - the comfort style ones from clothes make the girl. I usually eat a sardine first thing in the morning as part of my mini breakfast. I get up too early to do a proper breakfast first thing. Sardines are also delicious on a Caesar type salad, with romaine, homemade dressing, and some toasted coconut chips. As a matter of fact, I think I might add this to my dinner tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCow Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Sardines are lovely with a runny egg over cold or warm green beans. Of course, I could have a runny egg over just about anything and be happy. I love, love, love anchovies, too. My family makes me eat them on the porch, let alone my friends. And for the record, they are BONY fish, not HAIRY fish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmunchie Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I've had my first can of sardines sitting in the cupboard for about two months now because I'm too scared to try them. But on top of greens seems really non-threatening, I might do that for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the idea, Tom and Aberrantatavia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjsunnyday Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Missmunchie, please reply back -- would love to know what you think of this divine food. It's not for everyone, but those of us who love 'em just can't get enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I can't bear the smell of sardines, but I'm contemplating tinned kippers, if they're compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I found some John West kipper fillets in brine, they're "Naturally smoked herring fillets (kippers) (75%), water, salt." Small protein serve for the size of the can though, the can has a lot of brine I think. I've had kippers in a few hotel breakfast buffets and quite liked them (I thought they were a weird kind of salmon lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoodles Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Brunswick sardines in olive oil don't taste super fishy at all. My mum always ate the King Oscar brand when I was younger which turned me off for years, they looked like tiny fish with no heads, they had tails and everything and smelt. so. bad. Anyway, in an effort to get some more calcium I took the plunge and bought some Brunswick sardines in olive oil, not stinky and quite delicious! I'm converted!
