David Frascone Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Day 1: Breakfast 3 Eggs - Scrambled Peach Lunch Jimmy John's - Jj Gargantuan Unwich (No Mayo, Sub Dijon, No Cheese) Pickle Dinner 4 Chicken Drumsticks (Grilled) Zucchini (Grilled) with homemade marinara sauce Sweet Peas Snack(s) 2/3 cup of sunflower seeds (in shell) Plum 2 bananas apricot grapes So -- too much fruit, I know. My office has free fruit, which seems like a great thing, but, when you have a sweet tooth . . . . Also, my wife, who's doing the whole 30 with me, forgot that peas were legumes. So, should do better day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Tom Denham Posted August 7, 2012 Moderators Share Posted August 7, 2012 One thing to think about when deciding what to eat is how to nourish your body, not just how to stave off feelings of hunger. You need protein at every meal. Breakfasting on fruit may fill you up for an hour or two, but it does not begin to feed your body fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Frascone Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yeah -- I know. I went with fruit because I slept in and didn't have time to make some eggs. What are your thoughts on low-carb protein shakes on those days? The first time I did the Whole-30 challenge, my gym allowed supplements, so I was able to do my normal shake for breakfast. But, this time, I'm doing it strict. So, the artificial sweeteners in the shakes have kept me from considering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunch Greek salad, no cheese w/ grilled pork Peach Dinner Grilled chicken on a salad w/ oil & vinegar dressing. Some Cherries plumicot Snack(s) Sunflower seeds Plum Ginger soda! Before you freak out -- I made the ginger soda. I found a recipe online, and it rocked. First I juiced some ginger (with a juicer). Then I added about a tablespoon of the juice to sparkling mineral water. Was very refreshing! Still got to work on overdoing the fruit. Monday and Wednesdays are the delivery days . . . I loves me some fruit! I'm mainly trying to avoid bananas . . . They're particularly carb rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
