Breakfast

 

Vietnamese Chicken salad- chicken(dark and light), cabbage, carrots and daikon, vinegar.  was running late so there was no mint, cilantro. 

 

lunch

 

Beef stew- beef ( browned in olive oil) carrots, celery, onion, butternut squash and spinach

 

dinner

 

meat loaf- ground pork, ground beef, garlic and onion powder.  Salad- spring greens, roasted broccoli, grapefruit and homemade dressing- mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil. 

 

All I drank today was water.

Day 3

 

Today was a little harder. I wasn't satisfy with lunch(it was a little smaller portion than yesterday).  I am following the AIP Whole 30- no eggs, nuts, night shade vegetables.   I haven't had eggs or nightshade vegetables since 2/11/14.   I am starting to miss salsa.  I will try and make pineapple or mango salad this weekend.   I am cooking 4 sweet potatoes right now.  I will eat one whole sweet  potato a day between breakfast and lunch.  I find them more satisfying with those meals.   

 Breakfast

Vietnamese chicken salad

 

lunch

beef stew- with butternut squash and spinach

 

 

dinner

new York strip steak- salad with avocado, asparagus, mushrooms, mixed greens. dressing- mustard, apple cider vinegar and olive oil.

lunch

I thought it was in the bag- but no.  My sweet son left an open bag of trader joes mixed nuts with chocolate. I finished the bag before I knew it.  I am still trying to pick my next start date.  I think Sunday.  I am disappointed, but it's not the end of the world.

Cruising around here... Thanks for the idea of capers! I have some and never think of eating them! I'm glad you like leftovers and are tweaking your meals to make them delicious and satisfying. ! It reduces some of the planning/ kitchen time needed for a successful 30-day run. Good luck!

Looks like you are doing great! Isn't it amazing how other people can feel uncomfortable by what you are eating or not eating. I guess food is so social that people feel insulted you are not participating with everyone else.

 

I don't see a lot of fat in your meal blogs. I am hoping you just don't want to write a novel about what your are eating. Make sure you are following the meal planning template. http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf.  If you are not eating enough fat it could be why you had a moment of weakness during for first run. I don't see a lot of fruit either. Although fruit is not a requirement it can add some enjoyment to your meals.

After a full all day on the computer at work, I am pretty lazy at night. I cook everything in coconut oil or olive oil.  In my salad dressing I use olive oil and I don't drain the fat from the cooked meat.   I don't eat a lot of fruit, one because I am on a tight budget and my son doesn't eat fruit.  So I spend more money on veggies.  He does eat his veggies.
