Cecily's Whole 30 food log -- aka I thought I knew it all. Ha!

So I have a confession to make: I thought I knew it all. I have been Crossfitting for 2 years, worked as a Personal Trainer for longer than that, and as a teenager and in college I was a serious dancer. I've been vegetarian, vegan, and now Paleo-ish, so being conscious of my food was not new to me. 

 

However, I cannot believe how much the Whole30 has to offer and how much room there is for me to change. I am excited!

I Crossfit 3-4x a week, do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu 3x a week and I also teach moderate-intensity fitness classes several times a week. (When the weather isn't cold, like it has been, I also enjoy running.) 

 

This is day 3 of my Whole30. I have been craving natural sugars -- not icecream, for example, but things like Larabars and apples. And nuts. (I'm stopping at the grocery store today for coconut oil and olives.) 

 

Has anyone else run in to this?

Welcome!

 

The need for snacks can indicate that your earlier meals need to be bigger.

 

Whole30 recommends that every meal follow the template of 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies and the appropriate amount of compliant fat. Looks like your day 1 breakfast was missing veggies.

Larabars are emergency food only on a Whole30.

 

Play with your portion sizes until your meals satiate you for 4-5 hours. In the meantime, if you are genuinely hungry in between meals (hungry = you could eat steamed fish and broccoli), have a mini-meal that includes a protein and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30.
