And here is a picture of my delicious breakfast:

1: 2 eggs scrambled in ghee (clarified butter), flank steak, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 grapefruit, black coffee
ReplyDelete2: mandarin orange, few macadamia nuts
11:30am WOD at Crossfit Lions
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, BBQ flank steak, 1/4 avocado, 1/2 grapefruit and black coffee.
ReplyDeleteLunch: at firehall so breakfast bowls consisting of scrambled eggs, chorizo, peppers, mushrooms, onions, fresh tomatoes and cilantro on top.
Had a good breakfast this morning. Layered slices of sweet potato in bottom of baking dish. Poured eggs, egg whites, tomoatos, spinach, green pepper and spices on top of potatos. Baked for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Served with salsa. Thanks to Melissa for the yummy recipe idea!
ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteSince I am creeping in I will post my meals too. I am confessing that I will only be doing a mini-30 as we are off to Jamaica on the 16th.
Annie
Breakfast: Left over ribs with black coffee.
Bowl of fruits after the 11:30 Crossfit wod (with a protein shake I am not cutting out for my mini-30 don't do as I do ;) )
One more Americano no room.
Lunch: Salad with balsamic and evoo, red peppers & sliced apples. More left over ribs for lunch. 1/2 a mandarin.
Dinner will be: Breaded chicken fingers (a mix of almond flour and spices) with some baked yams and braised red cabbage.
Welcome Annie & Renee!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone else - don't think that because Annie is using almond flour that you are allowed to!!
Lunch: Salad w/chicken, beets, veggies, slivered almonds, evoo, lemon juice
Dinner: pork chops, masked yams & green beans
Breakfast: 2-egg omelet with onion, grape tomatoes, and spinach. I cooked it using coconut oil and added paprika, chipotle chilli powder and S&P.
ReplyDeleteLunch: Sashimi Salad (tuna, salmon, red snapper on mixed greens with a ginger dressin). Green tea - this was a huge victory for me as I was able to go out for sushi and pick items that fit the requirements (I think). :)
Snack: small piece of smoked salmon and a handful of almonds.
Dinner: Ginger Citrus Roast Chicken (In the oven right now, smells delish!) recipe was easy from:
http://paleodietlifestyle.com/ginger-citrus-roast-chicken/ Home-made yam fries seasoned with rosemary and thyme.
I'll let you know how it all tastes.
I think I've got everything sorted out but please correct me if there are things on here that I'm not supposed to be including. Also, I have a question about bacon. I seem to be reading mixed directions. Some say yes, some say no. If no, could you tell me why? I'm assuming it has to do with how it's prepared, but I'd love some clarification.
Ahh, the bacon question...
ReplyDeleteBacon is allowed...if you can find it with NO SUGAR (remember that sugar has many sneaky names) & NO NITRATES/NITRITES. If you are able to find some good quality stuff without the additives than it's good to go.
And if you do - let us know!!! (we have never found any)
Dinner: pork chop, mashed yams, green beans, apple sauce
ReplyDeleteDessert: may snack on a few frozen grapes!
