eggums86 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hi Everyone! I am new and I am on day 2 of the Whole 30. I am a person who is used to snacking throughout the day so so far its been a little hard. I am unsure if someone can give me some advice on whether I am on the right track based off a food log Today for example: Breakfast- Sweet potato bombs...a recipe I found on IG. Boiled egg covered in sweet potato with Whole30 compliant bacon wrapped around it on top of a bed of kale. Lunch: Zucchini noodles with turkey Bolognese sauce (tomato sauce, carrots, mushrooms, ground turkey)...maybe a good ladle size of the Bolognese. Side of green beans...10 black olives....and side salad with carrots, jicama,and tessamaes ranch dressing. Dinner I am having 2 pieces of grilled chicken cutlets with roasted veggies. another 10 olives I am excited for my meal tomorrow as I am making this slow cooker casserole https://paleopot.com/2012/02/hungry-man-sweet-potato-casserole/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators SugarcubeOD Posted May 31, 2017 Moderators Share Posted May 31, 2017 So can you clarify, you're eating one egg for breakfast with some sweet potato and kale? Bacon is a fat so you're woefully lacking in protein... eggs when they are your sole source of protein are as many as you can hold in one hand without dropping... that's at LEAST 3-4 for most people. Did that ladle of sauce have at least one palm of ground turkey (your own palm's thickness x width x length)? I doubt it... one good ladle of ONLY ground turkey would be about a palm but this has more than just the protein in it. Your dinner looks good but I don't know what a chicken cutlet is... is that like the breast filets? If so, that's not enough meat by a long shot... Olives if they are your fat are open, heaping handfuls... 10 is not enough. You're hungry because you're not eating enough altho you seem to have the spirit of the program down, so go ahead and up those meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the chicken cutlet what my mom does is basically cuts them thinner into thin filets if that makes sense. Thank you for your advice. I am not sure if you can look at the link I posted. So say if I cut a hefty portion of that casserole. Would that fill requirements in a meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slc_melissa Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Eat more if you're hungry! I looked at the link, I would add some non-starchy vegetables to the plate to make it a real meal. (Salad, asparagus, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, that's not enough unless the chicken breast was huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
