30 Day Challenge: A Day of Eats
It took me a little while to figure out a good meal plan for the 30 Day Challenge, but I think I've finally got it down. I'll have something easy/portable + fruit for breakfast, a salad for lunch, a warm meal for dinner, and lots of snacks in between. I strive to vary the types of fruits and nuts that I snack on, and try to eat no more than 2 eggs each day. (Although they are the only source of cholesterol that I currently eat, I don't want to overdo it.)
For example, here is what I ate today:
- Breakfast - Paleo pumpkin muffin with almond butter, a banana, and coffee.
- Morning Snack - Apple Pie Larabar
- Lunch - Large salad of Romaine, spinach, roasted cauliflower, grilled portabella mushrooms, hard boiled egg, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, sunflower seeds, and balsamic vinegar
- Afternoon Snack - 2 baby dill pickles and a handful of golden raisins + sunflower seeds
- Dinner - Sweet potato topped with sauteed kale and tomatoes (and hot sauce!)
- Evening Snack - Strawberries
I also drink tons of water all throughout the day. I don't count calories, but this seems pretty balanced to me. I try to rely more on fruits and veggies than nuts, but I pretty much eat whatever I'm craving whenever I'm hungry. It's kinda nice!

hmm, i’m actually not sure if coffee is technically paleo or not. but we decided we’d drink it since we both have it every morning. for creamer i use coconut or almond milk. not the greatest, but it’s helping me cut back on my coffee consumption!
