Samphire Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hi I am new to Whole 30. Could you critique my food for first few days? I decided to just jump in and start so most of my meals are just ingredients thrown together rather than any recipes. However I now have the book and have started to explore recipes and have cooked up a large batch of chilli for tomorrow, and have some oxtails waiting to be turned into soup soon. I photographed all my meals so you can see portion sizes. Wednesday 20th March 2013. Whole 30. Day 1 3 free range boiled eggs, coconut oil, 1 red pepper, 1 carrot. http://allthethingsieat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/20130322-161338.jpg Lunch Large salad with sardines in extra virgin olive oil http://allthethingsieat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/20130322-161546.jpg Dinner Beef with carrot and mushroom in tomato base sauce, sweet potato and salad http://allthethingsieat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/20130322-161719.jpg Day 2 Thursday 21st March 2013.

Samphire Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Meant to embed the images not make as links so easier to see them. Also, I am 5ft 3. Starting weight 155lb and not hugely active. In only 5 days I can feel that my trousers are a little baggier than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 25, 2013 Moderators Share Posted March 25, 2013 Your food looks okay. I like the variety through the day. The meat portions look good. The one concern I have is that you seem to eat a lot of salad or raw greens. Raw salad/greens take up a lot of space on a plate, but very little space in your stomach. If you wilted or cooked these greens, you might see just a few forkfuls of food, not nearly enough to fill a plate. You might think of that as you prepare meals. You don't mention how you are feeling. If you are feeling satisfied and are not going hungry, I would say you are doing great. By the way, I moved your post to the Your Whole30 log section as soliciting feedback on your meals is really a log topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samphire Posted March 25, 2013 Author Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply. Good to know I have the meat portions and variety down. I haven't had any cravings or desire to snack so far . I'll keep an eye on it and see if I feel the need to get more veg in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
