Derval Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The mix might be ok (as an occasional thing), depends ont he ingredients, some dried fruit use vegetable oil to coat the fruit & even added sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobbitgirl Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I love a Jimmy John's Unwich, but I was worried about the quality of the meat and it's potential nitrates and nitrites. Of course, I usually get mine with Mayo back in the day, so I'd need to bring my olive oil mayo along. Hoping to one day work up to adding crossfit as I see you do. Good Job!

Judy Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks Hobbitgirl! I am doing the best I can on nutirition and it sometimes is a challenge especially when I come to work unprepared - so the best choice might not be as good as I can get home, but certainly better than the sub w/ bread - right? 7/19/12 lunch Tuna, olives, tomatoes, celery, walnuts, boiled egg, banana peppers, S&P, raisins, mustard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura Jeanne Penrod Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Great job! Your meals look good overall, but on some you don't add any healthy fat. Especially in the morning. In the book they always state the morning meal is the one you can splurge on so don't be afraid. I tend to add olives, a little ghee, mayo, avocado, etc. it will help with your hunger, may help reduce your snacking too. Just a suggestion.
