Whole 30 – What I ate for 30 days
As you know I just completed my first Whole 30. I thought I would share with you my actual food diary for the past 30 days. If it helps one person it was worth it! One key thing to remember is that don’t limit yourself to think “breakfast” foods are only for breakfast. There is no Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner but instead think of it as Meal 1, Meal 2 and Meal 3. For my food log I am going to list Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner because it is the way I listed it daily however if you have leftover steak or pork chops feel free to eat those for breakfast.

Day 31:
Stayed on Whole30 and introduced a bit of dairy. I had a terrible reaction and went back to Whole30
What did I learn? I ate a lot of eggs, carrots and potatoes. I drank too many Suja Uber Greens. Whole30 does not recommend drinking your veggies and I broke that rule. Even though the one I chose has no added sugars and only 10g total carbohydrates/50 calories. I didn’t realize how many I drank until I typed this post. Luckily they were buy (2) get (1) free at Kroger and I often got a catalina coupon when I purchased them. For my next round I am going to cut them out entirely and reduce my potatoes.
I am going to do a better job prepping bulk quantities of food that I can have available. I never got tired of eggs which is a great thing but I am going to increase my veggie intake on the next round. I highly encourage you to keep a food diary so you can reflect at the end of your 30 days.
