zm12 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 So day 20 of my first Whole30 and I've just discovered the food log forum! I've actually been keeping my own food log in a word document but now I plan on posting all my meals here! Breakfast: I made a stir fry with onion, apple, kabocha squash, kale, and shredded chicken. I topped it with salsa and half an avocado (not pictured). Sounds kinda weird, but this is such a great combo! I have some variation of this pretty much every morning, depending what vegetables I have on hand. Lunch: A big spaghetti squash chicken and veggie bowl that consisted of kale, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, asparagus, tomato sauce, spag squash, and shredded chicken. I topped it with raw sauerkraut I got at the farmers market, yum! I also had a small apple. I went on a walk to the farmers market right after breakfast and then went to hot yoga, so I didn't have a pre-workout meal and lunch was my post-workout meal. After lunch I also drank half a bottle of kombucha. Side note-- I have trouble sleeping and a good nights sleep was one of the things that motivated me to do a whole30. So far, my sleep has been only slightly better, but last night I took magnesium for the second night in a row and I noticed a real difference! I'm really hopeful and excited to see how continually taking magnesium will affect my sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Mmmm, I don't think your stir fry sounds weird, I think it sounds YUMMY Glad you're sleep seems to be improving, I struggle with sleep, too, but it has improved by leaps and bounds during my W30.

zm12 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 thanks! Now here's last nights dinner: I had baked jicama fries with homemade paleo ketchup, a huge pile of baked green beans, a few steamed carrots, and some petite tender. This was my first time eating red meat in probably about a year and I really don't know why I've avoided it, it's freaking good!! sleep--Took magnesium and slept better again last night. It may just be my imagination, but I think the bags under my eyes are going away too! yay for sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had a small baked sweet potato. forgot to take a picture until I had eaten half of it! *after breakfast I went on a 20 mile bike ride and lunch was my post workout meal lunch: kabocha, raw carrots, curry chicken broccoli slaw (first time trying cooking with coconut milk, loved it!), and brussel sprouts *after lunch I went to the gym for strength training and a little hiit on the treadmill postworkout: baked chicken and about 1/3 of a sweet potato dinner: tons of veggies (mushrooms, spaghetti squash, brussel sprouts, kale, olives, avocado) w/ turkey meatballs (about 5 oz) and a banana If anyone has any comments like I'm eating too much of one thing, too much all together, not enough of something, whatever it may be, I'd love to hear it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zm12 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Day 22 Breakfast: stir fry of buttercup squash, half an apple, onion, kale, chicken, and some cashews *after breakfast I went for a run and then went straight to hot yoga so I didn't have a pre-workout meal, and post-workout was my lunch Lunch: leftover jicama fries with homemade ketchup and a huge salad w/ a can of tuna, raw mushrooms, spinach, 1/2 an apple, sprouts, beets, nappa cabbage, and sweet potato.

zm12 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Day 23 I had just begun to feel like I was settling into my whole30 until I became SO hungry waiting for dinner time to roll around. I worked out a little earlier than normal (a little more than two hours after lunch), so I didn't have a pre-workout meal, which may have contributed to my major hunger. I don't feel super good about my meals today, but tomorrow's a new day so I'm not going to let it get me down! Breakfast: same as yesterday, hash of squash, onion, apple, chicken, cashews, and brussel sprouts Lunch: 4 turkey meatballs (about 5 oz total), brussel sprouts, kale, 1 sweet potato, cashews Dinner: 5-6 oz mahi mahi w/ braised cabbage and tomato sauce, 3/4 apple, 1 T almond butter, and because I couldn't be satisfied, a big bowl of mixed veggies including kale, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli, and celeriac eek looking at the long list of everything I had for dinner makes me feel regretful and like I ate too much, but I was seriously so hungry! My stomach feels so full from all those veggies but I still feel kind of hungry...I'm done eating for the day though. I think part of the reason I got so hungry is because almost all my fat sources today were nuts, which I guess doesn't fill me up properly!

zm12 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Day 24 Breakfast: hash w/ squash, onion, apple, chicken, brussel sprouts, 1/2 avocado + raw sauerkraut Lunch: zucchini, 1/2 avocado, mushrooms, cauliflower, tomato sauce, 4 turkey meatballs *I worked out about 2 hours after lunch so I didn't have a pre-workout snack, workout was 1 hr cardio intervals Post-workout: kabocha squash and egg whites Dinner: caulirice, curry spinach, kale, chicken, 1/2 sweet potato, 1 T coconut butter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zm12 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Day 25 Breakfast: 3 egg+1 egg white omelet, veggies (cabbage, brussel sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli), avocado Lunch: Curry broccoli slaw w/ chicken, caulirice, 1 small sweet potato Pre-workout: 1/4 avocado + 1/2 serving chicken Dinner: carnitas, green beans, cabbage, brussel sprouts, 1/2 sweet potato, 1 apple I'm feeling pretty good, but I still almost always feel hungry about an hour or so after dinner. I think this might just be craving, because I normally have a good sized dinner and because before whole30 I was in the habit of making myself a night time snack/dessert every day.

zm12 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Day 27 Breakfast: same as yesterday- hash (onion, apple, brussel sprouts, ½ sweet potato, kale, chicken) + ½ avocado + kraut Lunch: a huge salad w/ tuna, beets, carrots, spinach, apple, jicama, mushrooms, sweet potato, and onion, tossed in a balsamic mustard vinaigrette Dinner: roasted garlic mashed cauliflower, baked green beans, baked tilapia, kabocha squash, and a handful of cashews *worked out a couple hours after breakfast so no pre-workout meal, post-workout meal was lunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zm12 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 Day 28 Breakfast: hash (onion, apple, brussel sprouts, ½ sweet potato, kale, chicken) + ½ avocado + kraut Lunch: mashed coconut squash, carnitas, salsa, cauliflower, green beans Pre-workout: about 1 oz chicken and 1 tsp almond butter Post-workout: about 2 oz chicken Dinner: barbecue turkey burger, cabbage, carrots, 1 portabello mushroom, 1/2 avocado, kabocha squash Today I finally felt like I'm becoming fat adapted! I had lunch at 12 and when I had my pre-workout meal around 4:30, I wasn't even hungry and could easily have gone longer without eating. Being fat adapted is so great!! I used to get hungry an hour after I ate, and then I'd eat more and be hungry and hour later. I wonder if it also may have to do with the fact that I've started taking super enzymes at every meal. Anyway, I feel like I'm just starting to get the benefits from my whole30 so I've decided to make it a whole45 and I'll continue logging my meals here!

wheelertrio Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 How do u make your breakfast hash? Just cut it all up and stir fry? Also, what recipe do u use for your ketchup? Thanks - your meals look delish! I'm on day 2 (3rd w30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zm12 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 thanks! I prep the kale and brussel sprouts ahead of time by steaming them, and I prep the chicken and sweet potato by baking them. So I cook the onion and apple in coconut oil until they're almost fully cooked and then I throw everything else in, stir it up, and put the lid on for a bit so it all heats up. here's the ketchup recipe I use: http://feedthedud.blogspot.com/2012/01/cave-ketchup-from-paleo-comfort-foods.html (it freezes really well so you might want to make a double batch- I think if may even taste better once it's been frozen, strange as that may seem!)
