GFChris Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Welcome! Do you have a copy of the meal template? Whole30 recommends that every meal have 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies and the appropriate amount of compliant fat.Breakfast and lunch were missing veggies, and are likely why you needed an afternoon snack. I'd suggest adding veggies to your meals and see if that helps satiate you. The goal is to create meals that satiate you for 4-5 hours. If you find you are still hungry between meals (you could eat steamed fish and broccoli), have a mini-meal that contains a protein and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30.

honeybeedreams Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Thanks for the response! Yes, I realized that the lack of veggies was an issue because I was hungry before I went to the gym. I think also that it's going to be a bit of an adjustment for me getting used to not having a snack around 3 PM since that is kind of a habit. I know myself well enough not to force myself to make too many changes at once, so for now, the snack stays until I feel like I can do without it. It's only my first day on my first try so I won't be perfect right out of the gate - I'm working on cutting myself some slack too. Today was a real victory, b/c it was a snow day and I normally make cinnamon rolls and then am hungry ALL.DAY.LONG - but that didn't happen. Breaktfast: Picadillo w green olives Spinach and carrots Lunch: salmon w dill mayo roasted butternut squash and red peppers couple bites of kale salad Dinner: Roast chicken Spinach Roasted squash/red peppers from lunch Exercise: Snow shoveling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybeedreams Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Day 4 Breakfast: Chicken salad spinach/carrots Lunch: Brussel sprouts/onion saute in ghee two egg yolks chicken lara bar half bottle green kombucha This was unplanned - we ended up at Whole Foods for lunch and I made the best of what was available. I ate the brussel sprouts once we got home and the lara bar as a snack before we decided what to do for lunch. Dinner: Pork - pan fried, seasoned with paprika Arugala salad w mad men dressing roasted cabbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybeedreams Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 It's Day 5 already, hard to believe. I'm very, very grumpy today. Not sure if it's sugar withdrawels or what - I was really, really hungry this morning when I woke up and have felt hungry all day long, no matter what I eat. Breakfast egg pie with homemade pork sausage guacamole roasted cabbage Lunch chicken salad w mayo spinach saute cinnamon apples with coconut flakes half bottle of green kombucha Snack Cinnamon salted coconut flakes My daughter is making cake pops and they smell so incredibly good. I am SO tempted and feeling so grumpy. Also, my stomach feels yucky, which isn't helping. Dinner Pork Sauteed brussel sprouts/onions with ghee This was a tough day to get through.

honeybeedreams Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Day 6 Breakfast Sweet potatoe saute egg pie - I took two pieces, which translates to two eggs, but I'm full after one. counting the coconut milk in my coffee as the fat for this meal lunch: can of tuna arugala oil/lemon dressing snack almonds dinner egg pie - two slices plus an avocado cauliflower, cucumber, parsley salad with olives and oil/lemon dressing (a kind of paleo tabbouleh, which I think is well within the rules b/c it's all vegetables) Exercise 30 minutes cybex arms Today was definitely easier. I still needed a snack around 3:30, but a handful of almonds was enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybeedreams Posted February 18, 2014 Author Share Posted February 18, 2014 Day 7 Breakfast Sausage Brussel sprouts/carrot steam saute This breakfast was REALLY good. I'd have eaten an avocado if I had one, but I didn't so, this was it. Lunch Pork chop Arugal salad with oil/lemon dressing and cauliflower Snack: Cashews/dates/coconut flakes Dinner:1 slice egg pie small veggie saute, carrots/spinach Exercise: Cybex 30 mins legs This day was kind of convoluted, b/c I came home before going to the gym and I was really, really hungry and knew I couldn't handle the gym without something in me, so ate those cashews/dates/coconut flakes before heading out. Was it ideal? I don't know - I think having fuel is important and since I started Whole30, I am EXHAUSTED at the gym. Literally feeling lead in my legs and every step is a huge effort. I'm normally in love with the cybex machine, but not so much anymore - I'm doing elliptical tonight to see if I can feel a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybeedreams Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 Day 10 BreakfastSpinach, egg, chicken scramble <---- this was really good. Coffee Lunch: Coleslaw Chicken salad (the last of it!) Mango Dinner: Out with friends, so a challenge. The food wasn't so bad, clams and a steak slider I didn't eat the bun on and a caesar salad (yes, it had creamy dressing AND cheese), but I did have three glass of wine, so I know I have to start over. It wasn't an accident and I fully made the decision to drink. I've been no alcohol since December and just decided that I would continue with Whole30 an additional 10 days in exchange for some wine. Exercise - rest day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybeedreams Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 Day 3 B: Chicken scramble with spinach (this was the last of it and I LOVED it.) Leftover plantains (there was probably half the plantain left, but I could literally only eat half of that...) L: Roasted butternut squash Pork chop Snack: Lara bar (yes, I know, not the best option - I wasn't super hungry either, but had my eyes dilated at the dr and could feel a migraine coming on - this staved it off.) D:Chocolate chili Lettuce No exercise - rest day - migraine is no joke and nothing to play around with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one in my family would eat it. Ended up with: sweet potato fries sauteed cabbage sausage patty I put the nuts away - really super far away b/c I've been eating far too many of them.

honeybeedreams Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Day 4 B sauteed cabbage egg/sausage pie banana w almond butter I'm already hungry and it's not yet lunch time, even though I felt really full after this breakfast, it didn't last. L chocolate chili spinach sweet pot fries D 3 egg scramble with tomatoes, broccoli and mushrooms blueberries/almonds I was SUPER hungry when I got home tonight - lunch wasn't big enough, but I managed not to snack and make it home to cook dinner. Shrimp was originally on the menu, but there wasn't enough time and I needed something quick. It's been really hard making separate meals for myself because even thought my son eats a wide variety of foods, he's not really interested in the way I'm cooking right now and my daughter has NEVER been one to try new things. Last night's dinner flop set me up for big problems too, so I'm thinking no new recipes on Mondays or Tuesdays in case they don't work out (if I wasn't on whole30, it wouldn't be a big deal to not have lunch, I'd just pick something up, but don't really feel like I can do that right now.)
