Whole30 Eating -- Tracking for 3 days

Rainbow Fruit Plate & Green Butterbeer from St. Patrick's Day

We're following the Whole30 way of eating this month...we're on week 3.  Well, dh and I are.  Okay, dh is.  I am putting whole milk in my coffee still!  

In an attempt to curb my leaning toward a steady diet of fruit & nuts, I'm tracking our eating for a week.  Plus I'll be able to look back at the tasty recipes I found! 

Monday
Daytime: 
Hard boiled egg -- not quite boiled all the way, oops!
Avocado -- keeping them refrigerated is the key to freshness
Strawberries
Sliced deli turkey -- Wegman's sells a "just turkey" with no sugar added
Raw Veggies -- carrots, red & green peppers, cherry tomatoes
Brazil Nuts -- too many
Cantaloupe
Almond Butter -- too much, but oh so delicious!
Coffee with cream/whole milk -- dairy is out on Whole30

Dinnertime: 
Greek Meatballs (ground turkey) -- everyone liked
Spinach -- serve everything on a bed of baby spinach
Sauteed asparagus -- dash of black pepper
Raw Veggies

Tuesday
Daytime:
Avocado
Raspberries
Apples
Coconut milk, orange juice, banana smoothie w/ ground flaxseeds and spinach
Brazil Nuts & Cashews
Lemon water
Cold leftover chicken
Raw Veggies
Hard boiled egg
Coffee with cream/whole milk

Dinnertime:
Crockpot Chicken Tacos -- topped with onions & tomatoes, not bad
Spinach
Steamed Broccoli

Wednesday
Daytime:
Avocado
Strawberries
Banana
Hard boiled egg
Raw Veggies
Pecans
Pineapple
Cold leftover chicken
Leftover veggies cooked in tomato sauce
Coffee with cream/whole milk

Dinnertime:
Cilantro Lime Cod -- used ghee instead of butte, so-so but dh liked
Mild Homemade Salsa on spinach & avocado, delicious!
Raw Veggies
Apple

I really am turning into a nut & fruit-itarian!  Tomorrow I am going to have NO nuts and NO fruit.

This actually looks really good, and theoretically easy to follow. Of course, we decided to limit our pizza intake to only pizza we make ourselves or eat in a restaurant (since we seldom eat out, not a big sacrifice there), and that is tough enough. I'm glad you incorporated what you are actually doing, and what the pitfalls are. I will see what i can incorporate!
