Saturday I told you I was starting the Whole30. This means no grains, no sugar, no dairy, no legumes (including peanut butter), no alcohol, no paleo “treats.” So you’re probably wondering what’s left for a pescatarian (I know I was at first) but after four whole days (pun totally intended) I’m getting a hang of building my meals around protein, veggies and healthy fat.
I’ll talk to you more about my first week during my recap on Friday. So far it’s going better than I thought, but I’m not used to the three meals a day versus a long stream of snacking. However, I am pleasantly surprised how full I am when I get enough fat and protein in my meals.
But here we go:
Breakfast – 2 eggs, 1/2 sweet potato with almond butter, kale & salsa, raspberries and blueberries & avocado
Lunch – Kale, butternut squash, avocado & an egg
I actually got to enjoy this after my workout sitting outside on my porch. It was up to 50 degrees, which for Ithaca was incredible!
Dinner – acorn squash, onions, spinach & avocado
Snacks
I had an apple shortly after breakfast, some clementines before my workout and a bottle of GT’s Kombucha (SO GOOD)
Your Turn
- What’s up with you guys?
- Do you have any paleo-esk recipes you’ve tried lately?
- What are your favorite sources of protein?
My fave source of protein is froyo. Erm, I mean yogurt!
Your breakfast sounds delicious – I think I’ll copy you for tomorrows 🙂 Thanks for the idea.
Anytime 🙂
I totally wouldn’t mind doing the whole 30 if I ate what you eat! Everything looks so yummy! Although I don’t think I could give up peanut butter lol!
It hasn’t been as bad as I thought- Thank god for almond butter!
When I saw on Jenn’s WIAW linkup that you were doing the Whole30 challenge, I knew I had to come check your post out as I’m currently doing it as well. That acorn squash looks amazing! My favorite source of protein would be eggs first off, then I would lean towards chicken or pork maybe? Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m really diggin’ it so far. Not easy, but totally worth it.
