morning headaches

[msssjenna]

I have been getting bad headaches each morning about 30 minutes after breakfast.  This morning its been bad.  I eat breakfast, and then sit in traffic to get to work.  I am now at my desk, I took Tylenol, ate some sunflower butter .. and still nothing is helping.  I've had a cup of tea as well.  Help?

msssjenna -

 

The best way to approach this is by looking at what you're eating for meal one.  Can you give us an idea of what you're eating/drinking in the morning? Are there any consistent patterns like coffee/caffeine, coconut milk, etc?

I'm having the same issue! every morning for the past 8 days (since I've started) I'm getting these headaches. Example of my typical breakfast

 

2 x boiled eggs

1 slice of applegate turkey bacon

1 x cup of veg

with water

 

Some days i'll switch the boiled egg for a fried egg (in coconut oil) and the turkey bacon for applegate pork bacon. I've stopped drinking black coffee before I started my whole30. I've followed the meal template by the book.

 

Yesterday (June 6th)

 

Breakfast - 

2 x boiled eggs

1 x applegate roasted red pepper chicken sausage

1 x cup of veg

 

Lunch -

9oz of grilled chicken with pesto (no parmesan cheese)

1.5 cups of spicy veg (broccoli, tomato & red onion)

 

CrossFit - 

3 reps x ran 200 meters

3 reps x 90 pushups

 

Dinner - 

3oz of Jerk Chicken (skinless)

3oz of slow roasted pork shoulder (lean)

1 x cup of stir fry veg

 

What am I doing wrong? I'm feeling really bloated today. I've also noticed that I'm not "Going or #2" as frequently as I think i should, like maybe 1 a week. Is this normal? am I missing somthing?

 

PLEASE HELP! getting frustrated.

Bessanio, if I had to guess, I think a mod would say more fat and a lot more veg.
