Brittany Long Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi all!If I would have seen this sooner, I would have started logging sooner. I am on Day 3 now.I am having a hard time today. Low energy, cravings, and just want to nap! Hope it gets easier! I am also breastfeeding my 20 month old still, who nurses pretty frequent still! Does this look like enough fats/foods?Day 3Meal #1Half a plate of sauteed asparagus cooked in coconut oilLeftover meatloaf with hidden liverWaterIced black tea unsweetenedMeal #21/2 Sweet Potato with coconut oil, sea salt, and cinnamonAbout 1/2 cup of spinach 2 hard boiled eggsGreen Beans 4 strawberries WaterSnackQuarter of a pearHandful of pecansWater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi Brittany. You may be ok. Are your meals satiating you for 4-5 hours? Have the whole sweet potato: that's a good carb source for you, and may help with the energy. When eggs are your protein, the serving size is the number of eggs you can hold in one hand. As you're breastfeeding, know that it's ok to have 4 meals if you need to. If you're hungry in between meals (hungry = you could eat steamed fish and broccoli), have a mini-meal containing a protein and fat. Nuts are a fat source on a Whole30. Save your 1-2 daily servings of fruit to have with or immediately after meals. A serving size of fruit is the size of your fist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovesmatt29 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I've never tried sweet potato with coconut oil sea salt and cinnamon but it sounds awesome since I love all of those things separately. I like them with ghee, almond butter and salt on top, but I have to really watch it or I'll eat just that and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brittany Long Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks so much for the feedback! We are going through eggs like no tomorrow ha ha!(4 dozen this week) I will add an extra egg. Portion size is so hard to figure out. The half sweet potato was what I had leftover from dinner, otherwise I'd eat a whole one. I ate the strawberries with my second meal. I may add in a mini meal. I am hungry enough for fish and veggies. I need to get to costco to stock up on everything! Tonight we are having chicken apple sausages with mixed vegetables. Is a meat and vegetables okay for a meal? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Absolutely! Do you have a copy of the recommended meal template? For best results, structure each meal to have 1-2 palms of protein, 1-3 cups of veggies and the appropriate amount of compliant fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brittany Long Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Day 4Meal #1Leftover MeatloafSauteed asparagus and spinach in coconut oil1/2 avocadohandful of raspberries WaterSnackblack tea with coconut milk Meal #2-3 chicken strips-mixed steamed veggies(cauliflower, broccoli, carrots) -purple sweet potatoes baked -raspberries/blueberries Roobois TeaMini mealjicama, hard boiled egg, pecans, half a clementineMeal #3 -Rotisserie style chicken -raw carrots and cucumbers -2 slices of cantaloupe -handful pecans -WaterPeppermint tea So yesterday I had more energy but I noticed I ate more fruit yesterday. I did add it in at the end of my meals though and my energy was better with the mini meal especially since I am still breastfeeding. It helps having already cut up vegetables and I got some more avocados so I can lay off the nuts a bit. Tea has really been my saving grace for after dinner. I am no longer snacking on everything in sight and I admit it is a little hard. I do feel a little hungry before bed but I am able to make it to the next morning.
