Linven Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I was reading my daily email, and it talked about breakfast. Here is a breakfast suggestion. Breakfast burger: personal protein serving of ground beef; 1 egg; Rubin’s RedWhole30 Approved hot sauce (or your favorite brand); ¼ cup of freshly chopped cilantro.Grill your burger, top with an egg fried over-medium. Sprinkle cilantro, top with hot sauce, and… good morning! Where is the carb? Veggie? I have been working hard to get all the carbs in by slicing some sweet potato in, and worrying that I don't have enough veggies with onion, pepper, etc. What have I missed? Is this not supposed to be the entire breakfast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 What you see is an example of a compliant breakfast consistent with the Whole30 rules.You don't have to have carbs at every meal: we typically recommend a fist-sized serving of carb-dense vegetables daily.Yes, this example is missing veggies. The Whole30 meal template of protein, veggies and fat at each meal is a recommendation for best results: not a requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linven Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 Then I should do much better by cutting down on the potato/carb! I have no problem eating veggies, really, but my plate tends to get too full (and my stomach!) if I eat all of what I thought I was supposed to be doing. Very good to hear that I can cut down on some of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good to hear that I can cut down on some of it. You may do better cutting down on the potato/carb...everybody is different. The recommendation that Chris gave is general. See how you feel with less. Carbs affect mood, energy, and sleep. I am very active so I need more than most people do to have a healthy mood and energy level. Your mileage may vary.

nicoley22 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Before I didn't require a lot of carbs. But I was counting and was under 40g a day. Now I basically eat all the carbs. 1)they fuel my heavy lifting 2) I'm nursing my 4mo old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwinb Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 This is great information. I felt like I was overeating and stuffing myself for my 3rd meal because of eating carbs at every meal. Now I can reduce or eliminate carbs during my 3rd meal and see what kind of a difference that makes. This forum is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
