I will share my final thoughts in another post. I felt like crap today because of a sore throat. More on that in the next post.

First, here’s my meal rundown for the day.

Breakfast: Three fried eggs, sweet potato toast (an entire sweet potato’s worth), a full avocado, watermelon, strawberries, and a couple slices of orange (I needed the vitamin C). I have been making an effort to up my protein and healthy fat intake to see if it fills me up for longer. I really don’t know how I could fit any more food on this plate. I admittedly could have included some green veggies, but I was feeling pretty out of it this morning and just didn’t think about it.

 

I was full when I finished. Like really full. But then three hours later, I was hungry. I had a banana, which I really should have rounded out with some protein and maybe some veggies, but I was too tired to pack the “mini meal” that my snacks should consist of. I’ve tried to not snack, but I think I’m just one of those people with a fast metabolism and needs to eat a lot. Sorry. Go ahead and hate me.

Lunch: Chicken salad made with Whole30 mayo. Leftover broccoli slaw. Spinach. More orange slices. About a half cup of chicken broth (to help the sore throat). A handful of green olives. Again, I felt full, but was a tad hungry about two hours later. I had a pear, some almonds, and coconut flakes. I was a little more with it this afternoon and packed that mini meal.

Dinner: This recipe was a pleasant surprise. We subbed tapioca flour for the flour to make it Whole30 compliant. I found salted cod on sale at Publix this week and decided to try it.

I was buying smoked salmon and noticed it was BOGO. It was just cod and salt, so I decided to give it a try. It takes some prep, which I didn’t realize. It has to soak for 24 hours in water, and the water has to be changed several times. I regretted planning such a labor intensive meal on a day when I felt so crappy (especially when I realized we didn’t have enough potatoes and there was one egg left and I had to go to Publix). Fortunately, my wonderful hubby jumped in and cooked. And it turned out amazing.
