Mytwogirls2 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hello My name is Meda and I am starting Whole30 tomorrow recommended by my trainer. I have never worked out before and decided to hire a personal trainer to get fit as of today I was on a low card diet. I have been searching this board for tips and ideas. I am planning on purchasing the book tonight. I went to Whole foods tonight and bought the basics like chicken thighs, fresh vegetables, ghee, strawberries, pink lady apples, mixed vegetables, kale and oranges, Hillshire bacon (paleo approved uncured with no sugar). I read somewhere that we are supposed to treat bacon like a condiment. I will probably have coffee no sugar with New Barn almond milk (green kind container) and an egg over easy for breakfast, lunch baked chicken thigh and sautéed green beans in ex virgin olive oil. Please share any tips you may have or suggestions. Any ideas on what to eat for breakfast? I read about the homemade mayo. I think I want to try it.

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2017 Welcome to Whole30. You'll have the best results if you make all your meals match the meal template, which means your breakfast needs vegetables and also probably more than just one egg. Generally, if eggs are your only protein in a meal, we recommend having as many whole eggs as you can hold in your hand, so probably 3-4. You can eat anything for breakfast you'd eat any other time of day. Some people find it helpful to think of it as Meal1, Meal2, and Meal3 instead of Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner, just to reinforce that they are all interchangeable. You could do a salad like this, or there are some eggless breakfast ideas here, or you could just cook enough at supper to have leftovers the next morning.

Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted March 13, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2017 You're going to need more than one chicken thigh also... I just actually spent the last twenty minutes shredding chicken thighs I used for butter chicken and not a single one of them alone would have been a sufficient protein portion and some of them were quite large... This is not a 'diet' and we want you to eat to satiety... Shannon pointed you to the meal template... really have a good look at it and make all your meals match. Notice on the template as well that it lists the pre and post workout recommendations. If you're working with a trainer, one can assume it's going to be sufficiently difficult to require at the very least the post workout meal which is IN ADDITION to your other three meals.

Mytwogirls2 Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thank you both for all you help and sharing your resources. I am saving everything to my desk top folder. Thank you for pointing out the meal template to me one chicken thigh was not enough to satify my hunger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
