AprilLynne Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I have been rotating through the same foods for a while. I'm ok with it, but wondering if it's good practice to keep repeating the same meals.... Meal 1 -Usually eggs, cooked in various ways with veggies (some combo of onion, mushrooms, zucchini, spinach, yellow and orange peppers) topped with avocado and/or salsa Meal 2 - grass feed beef sautéed with veggies (see above), on a half of a roasted sweet potato, topped with avocado, and cilantro lime dressing or paleo ranch Meal 3 - same as above, slightly varied, or a new recipe when I have the time. Usually a protein, some veggies and a fat. PreWO - an egg fried in coconut oil and avocado PostWO - hard-boiled egg Thanks, April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 21, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 21, 2015 If you can vary your protein and veggies you're giving yourself the optimal range of nutrients. But repeating meals for a couple of weeks at a time is no big thing. Keep on rocking on! PS. In Whole30-land pre workout would be fat and protein with no carbs and post workout would be lean protein and carbs, no fat. Give it a try!

AprilLynne Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Isn't that what I have on the PreWO and PostWO?? I thought I had read in ISWF that the carbs for PostWO should only be added when the workout is intense, or you are not trying to lose any weight. Is the egg not lean protein? It's often what I see people post as a PostWO......maybe a chicken breast?? Still trying to wrap my head around it all April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Your pre WO fuel is fine. For post WO, if you're going with egg for the protein, have the whites only, as the yolk is a fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, your pre workout meal is fine, sorry, I misread that part of your post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AprilLynne Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Thank you! GFChris and lady's hammy!! I didn't think about the yoke having fat. I think I'll change to some chicken breast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
