katelo Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I haven't read the book yet but I have read tons of links from the Whole30.com website, forums, etc. I haven't seen anything about meal composition requirements but I've seen people in forums referencing not having enough fat or not having veggies with a particular meal being bad. Is meal composition addressed somewhere other than the book? Is there a requirement to have some veggies, some protein and some fat for it to be a proper meal? I will eventually read the book on the train to and from work, but I'm starting tomorrow and want to get off to a good start. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katelo Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 After reading through the pdf, I don't see where potatoes fit into the meal composition. I see the protein, veggies, fats, nuts, fruit etc. Does whole30 consider potatoe a vegetable? Thinking not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaC Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 It’s a starchy vegetable (carb). It’s recommended after workouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnitaC Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 No, you can have them whenever but that’s one time they are recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potato are considered a starchy carb and our recommendation is to have a fist sized serving at least once a day (and then more if you work out, are highly active, a woman on or near her period, a person with mild mood disorders etc..). So you'd put the fist sized serving on the plate and then fill the rest of the plate with veggies Does that help? Oh, and no french fries or potato chips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
