No Snacks?

Did I read somewhere that you cannot have snacks on Whole 30?  I'm not looking for a bag of chips or a candy bar, but I do like to have celery and almond butter as a snack.

You should try to eat enough at meals to get you through to the next meal. If you are legitimately, physiologically hungry, then eat a snack. Try not to snack just for boredom/snacking's sake. If you are finding that you are consistently hungry between meals, try adding more fat to meals.

Also, make sure your snacks are mini meals in that they have protein, fat, and veggies. Try not to make a piece of fruit by itself the snack.

Would celery and almond butter be okay?

[wambam]

It's fine. Ideally, you would have a small amount of protein as well. I know there is some protein in almond butter, but not enough that it meats the meal template requirements. And that's really what you're going for - meeting the meal template guidelines, just smaller portions.

I was nervous about that too, but I've found that I'm really not all that hungry between meals. So maybe you'll find that you don't really need a snack.
