MissAmandaH Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hey everyone! So I will be starting my Whole30 tomorrow and I am super excited about it but feel a little overwhelmed with meal planning. I decided to just go out and buy a bunch of food and then figure out what to make with it as trying to meal plan for a week with these new rules was quite daunting! My question is, I am going to be making egg muffins for breakfast for this week to get me started, and I plan to incorporate all sorts of veggies like spinach, green peppers, onions etc, however I am wondering how do I incorporate fat into my meal? If I have about 3 of these egg muffins I think I'll do okay in the protein and veggie department but aside from having a couple nuts with my meal I am not sure how to incorporate it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Also if you have any other super simple recipes for a newbie I would gladly accept them! Thanks in advance!

Bethann67 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'd skip the nuts, and have avacado or wholly guacamole ( or use your fat "allowance" for an after meal 1 bulletproof coffee) Nuts are allowed, but I avoid them. You may have not had a problem with nuts/ nut butters before whole 30, but they can quickly become food without brakes ,and in my experience cause cravings for sugary treats. ðŸ˜And an unhappy digestive system.

misshannah Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I agree with avocado, and you could also throw some sliced black olives into your eggs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physibeth Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If you can find compliant bacon that would also count as your fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAmandaH Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for the replies! I am not an olive fan at all and avocado I need to work my way up to (not a big fan of the texture). I also can't find any bacon that doesn't have added sugar to it. I thought if maybe I fried some ground beef in coconut oil that would help up my fat? What do you guys think?

misshannah Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 That's a great idea to add to your muffins or eat by itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberino21 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I love mayo on my frittata/egg muffins You'll have the fat in the eggs too - make sure you have at least 3 eggs per serve unless you're planning on adding some more protein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaine Ross Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Those are really good ideas US Wellness has compliant bacon and I personally would choose the bulletproof coffee - mmm.) You definitely won't feel like you need a snack if you have Bulletproof coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evonne Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 What is bulletproof coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethany Lannon Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 You could make a batch of homemade mayo, you could have an ounce or two of coconut butter, 1/2 avocado or a Wholly Guacamole packet squeezed on top of the egg muffins. I use their 100 cal packets all the time - compliant!! Also, when you whip up your egg muffin mixture, stir in about a cup of full fat coconut milk per 10-12 eggs that you use. That will help add some fat as well (although not enough for a full meal's worth of fat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler_Monier Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 What is this "muffin" we're talking about? I am burnt out on Frittata's already, and am looking for new ways to have my breakfast outside of leftovers. I still can't seem to break the traditional sense of breakfast.

Roz Griffiths Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Make a frittata mixture but cook it in muffin cases instead of as one big lump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted August 14, 2013 Moderators Share Posted August 14, 2013 Nom Nom Paleo's Mini Frittatas are awesome. They contain a small amount of full fat coconut milk in them - helps keep them tender. I usually add a wee bit more. They're also wrapped in prosciutto and the muffin tins are greased with coconut oil. So right there you might have just about enough fat, otherwise cut up a bit of avocado to top it, or serve on the side. Or, if like me, you add coconut milk to your coffee that takes care of it too. Best #whole30 trick I learned: Warm ~1/4 c coconut milk in mug. Add ~1 tsp unsweetened cocoa (optional) and ~1/4 c of hot coffee. Blend with wand mixer (or in blender), then fill w/more coffee til you get the flavor you like. MAGICAL. And a whole different drink than just coffee and coconut milk stirred together.

zfouant Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The prosciutto wrapped frittata sounds good but is coconut-flour compliant for whole30? Also, I'm thinking of trying it wrapped in bacon, if it is, as I haven't found any prosciutto yet that is grass-fed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Griffiths Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Coconut flour is compliant, just don't go making pancakes with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jent103 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I haven't found any prosciutto yet that is grass-fed, etc. You don't have to have pastured prosciutto for it to be compliant (though if you can find it, great). It just needs to have compliant ingredients. I got a pack at Trader Joe's with just pork and salt and made these frittatas with it. A-OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
