emalt Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Day 1! March 30 Here we go: DAY ONE Breakfast Frittata (about two eggs, spinach, onion, salsa) Small apple with almond butter Missing my coffee with organic whole milk. I brought a water bottle to work filled with organic canned full fat coconut Milk that I had blended and refrigerated the night before. It's totally solidified. How do you drink this in your coffee? Do you have to blend it always? Help! Lunch Can of tuna with 1/3 of an avocado, salsa, lemon juice, and real salt Carrot and celery sticks for dipping Pumpkin seeds on the side for snacking Feeling satiated Iced green tea with lemon Dinner Spaghetti squash with bolognese sauce (grass fed beef, tomato sauce, herbs, mushrooms, onion) Small apple with almond butter I usually make a grain-free coconut flour mugcake or a chia pudding after dinner. I'd like to eliminate the need for anything sweet at all--even fruit. Looking forward to breaking this habit! It was a great first day and I'm feeling prepared.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 31, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 31, 2015 Your meals sound small. Review the meal planning template to see if you need to increase portion sizes: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-meal-planning.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emalt Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks for the tip Tom. I'm usually one to have smaller meals and snacks throughout the day—even though I know more complete meals works better for my digestion, weight, and energy. I'm going to try making my morning meal larger so I'm not hungry in the afternoons. Day 2 Breakfast Frittata (about two eggs, spinach, onion, salsa) and 1/3 of an avocado small apple with almond butter Lunch Homemade chicken bone broth with carrots, celery, onion, and chicken Sweet potato with almond butter Dinner Kale salad (EVOO, coconut aminos, lemon juice, goji berries) Spaghetti squash with bolognese sauce (grass fed beef, tomato sauce, herbs, mushrooms, onion) Small apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emalt Posted April 6, 2015 Author Share Posted April 6, 2015 This weekend (days 6+7) I went a little off the tracks. While I stayed compliant, my days were less structured and I didn't stick to meals like I did during the week and ate more a little here and little there. Ready to get back on track tomorrow and now that I know what to expect over the week, I will be more prepared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
