Do my meals look balanced?

[amchrista]

I'm only a few days in, but I want to avoid potential problems that could come from an unbalanced meal plan. I'm a 23 yr old active female.

I'm also starting at 4 meals a day because I was one of those 6-7 mini meal people, so I need to work my way down to 3 big meals!

B- 2 eggs fried in butter, 2-3 oz chicken breast, 1/2 avocado, 1 banana

L- Big salad with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, 1 big palmful of chicken/fish, 2 tbsp olive oil, medium sweet potato, almonds

S- 2 hardboiled eggs, ~ 1/2 c. strawberries, handful of baby carrots, spoonful of almond butter

D- 1 bison burger patty, 2 cups kale in coconut oil, baked sweet potato or acorn squash with butter

I think i'm good on protein and fat- Do you think I have enough starchy carbs in there for an active lifestyle? I feel ok so far, just adjusting to the less frequent eating is confusing my body.

I think you need vegetables (and lots) with breakfast. This is has helped me keep full til lunch.

Your protein and fat looks good. Two sweet potatoes per day should support intense training sessions and maybe two-a-days. I would like to see you more than double your non-starchy veggie intake and consume some of it in at breakfast. However, you are on track to have a good experience with the Whole30 already.

Taping the meal template to my fridge really helped me:

Not every meal will be perfect, but this is what you should shoot for. I found that having a lot of chicken breast v fattier meat (especially for breakfast) made me hungry and snacky and lethargic. Also, the first few days will be rough but hang in there!
