1/5 Check-In

[mac08]

Day 1, second time doing whole30.  It's so much easier this time! Mostly I think because I am less overwhelmed.  I felt good all day, not too starving between meals, and I was able to make it through with no snacks.

DH and I are both on day 2. I am not eating eggs as well for the first couple weeks bc I think I may have an intolerance.
i am not a big ground beef fan and we had it for lunch and dinner yesterday, and we are having leftovers for dinner. Pioneer woman's hamburger soup and I don't know how I will stomach that tonight. I had to have a snack mid afternoon and after dinner last night. We were both starving and even after our Apple, cashew butter and coconut at 8 pm, by 9:30 we were both hungry again.

Can you go over a day's worth of meals with me? Hopefully we can figure out what you need to change/add so you're not hungry

Both mornings I have had a monkey salad and have been fine until lunch. Yesterday I had the burrito bowl thing that was linked on here for lunch. I also had a few macadamia nuts with it. I had to have a snack and had a dried Apple and coconut bar from TJ's and cashews. Dinner was compliant version of Pioneer Woman's hamburger soup. At 8 I had an apple, cashew butter and coconut.

Today for lunch I had sautéed chicken, mushrooms, and peppers. Coffee and a shit ton of lite coconut milk for snack. Dinner was soup again and a few almonds. I had to choke down the soup bc I really don't like a lot of meat.
I am hungry but not having a snack tonight. 
I am allergic to avocado so not sure how to get the added fats? I also hate olives.

Day 1 for me... I didn't pack enough food, and wound up eating 2 larabars. But, aside from that, everything was 100% compliant!

I know everyone loves the monkey salad, but I think that's probably part of the problem. Even if you feel fine until lunch, it doesn't start off the day with the formula: protein + fat + veggies + sometimes fruit. Also, you should try your best to make snacks smaller portions of meals that follow the same formula. 

As for fat, ditch the lite coconut milk and go for full-fat. Add coconut oil, olive oil, clarified butter, etc. to your veggies. 

I know I sound like a broken record but if you are still hungry, eat. 

Hope that helps
