lj_riley Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Hi, I'm on Day 15 of Whole30 and I've been feeling pretty good. I'm not sure if I've been eating enough food although I feel totally fine and I'm never denying myself food. I just feel like my jeans are getting baggy too quickly. Here is my food log for the past 3 days. Day 13: Breakfast: 3 pork sausages, red peppers, onion, 2 eggs. Lunch: Chicken salad w/ hardboiled egg Dinner: Broccoli, Sweet potatoes, onion, chicken I had a fruit cup with pineapple, apple, grapes, mango, and banana and sunflower seeds after lunch. Day 14: Breakfast: 2 pork sausages, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup of mushrooms. Black coffee, sunflower seeds. Dinner: Side salad, burger w/ mushrooms, onion, lettuce, tomato. Day 15: Breakfast: 2 eggs, onion, 1/2 avocado, black coffee, fruit cup Dinner: 1/4 cabbage, 1/2 onion, 2 carrots, 1/4lb beef, 1 pork sausage, 1 egg.

Physibeth Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Do you have a copy of the meal template? It is hard to tell how much you are eating at some of those meals. Here are my observations: - Are your sausages free of sugar and other additives? - Day 13's first meal looks light on vegetables but hard to tell, did you have any vegetables at meal 2? Don't let fruit push vegetables off your plate. - Day 14 and 15 are missing a 2nd meal. Please don't skip meals as it keeps you from getting the nutrition you need. - Day 14's first meal could have had more vegetables and Day 15's had no vegetables. - On Day 14 was the black coffee and sunflower seeds a snack or part of your meal 1?

lj_riley Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 My sausages are free of sugar and additives, I made sure before I got them. Day 13 I had one whole red pepper and a whole onion for breakfast and that was the first day I had fruit while I've been on whole30 because I thought I wasn't getting enough carbs. Meal 2 on Day 13 had celery, onions, and avocado. On Day 14/15 I didn't eat a second meal because I wasn't hungry at all and I didn't want to force myself to eat food if I wasn't hungry. The black coffee and sunflower seeds were part of my first meal on Day 14. I wasn't at home this weekend so the veggies were light for those morning meals on Day 14 and 15 but I usually include more veggies in my meals (they usually look like the 3rd meal on day 15).

Physibeth Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sounds good. The only thing I would say than is not to skip meals even if you are not hungry. You should play with your portions until you can comfortable eat 3 template meals every 5-6 hours starting within and hour of waking. Usually for my 2nd meal if it has been 5 hours and I still don't feel hungry I eat anyway and when I start I usually find I am hungry enough to eat.
