Hannah Saro Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Started today, loving it so far. I am pretty plain & picky to begin with, so I mentioned in a previous post that I don't foresee that much of a challenge. I am used to black coffee, plain everything, no condiments/sauce etc. So I'm actually how curious if I will struggle at all. I'll be keeping track of my day-by-day recipes, choices & progress. Day 1: Breakfast 2 eggs in olive oil, salt & pepper with avocado. Blackberries & black coffee. Small snack Apple with raw almond butter Lunch White tuna with salt & pepper, balsamic vinegar, avocado & sweet potato Dinner Chicken in egg wash sautéed in olive oil, a tiny bit of sesame oil, salt & pepper. Sautéed spinach in the same mix. With sweet potato. Water all day & Wonder Water from Wegmans ( I prefer Lemon & Blackberry) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Preferring black coffee is definitely a plus. I'll say it really helps to have a copy of the template printed out and stuck on the fridge. The basic formula is protein the size of your palm, fill the rest of the plate with veggies, thumb-size portion (or more) of fat. If eggs are your only protein, you want to eat as many as you can hold on your hand. That's usually three, unless you are very tiny. Also you want to fill your plate with veggies. In your breakfast, the avocado would count as your fat leaving you with no veg. And don't fear fat! Fat is your friend. http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Saro Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Successful Day 2, with the exception of being a little more hungry than usual after lunch (I think it was caused from not eating enough protein at lunch). Today consisted of: Breakfast: 3 eggs in olive oil with spinach & avocado. A few blackberries Black coffee Lunch Salad (lettuce & cucumbers) with grilled chicken, sunflower seeds & balsamic vinegar Watermelon Dinner Chicken, zucchini, summer squash in olive oil, salt, pepper, a few drops of sesame oil & egg Sweet potato & a little bit of avocado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Saro Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 Day 4 Pretty good...a little thrown off with schedule today so my meals were at different times than usual, which messed me up a little bit Had black coffee this morning when I had to be out of the house at 7am (thought I would be back at 9, but didn't get back until 10:15), so I didn't eat breakfast until about 10:30 Breakfast: 2 eggs in olive oil with salt & pepper, spinach, a few strawberries Snack: Small amount of watermelon Lunch ( I wasn't hungry, but I ate anyways) not until about 3:30, I usually eat between 12-1 Salad (lettuce, 1/2 avocado, sunflower seeds & a small amount of turkey meat from last night's dinner) Dinner (Wasn't as hungry as I expected but ate on schedule anyways) 6ish Shrimp sautéed in olive oil, garlic, salt & pepper with zucchini & summer squash Sweet potato Banana Still feeling pretty good, not as tired. Felt a little off today but I was in a rush all day & off schedule, so that may have a lot to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
