I'm working from home all week, so I decided to start my paleo diet. It's much easier to stick to a diet sans grains/simple carbs when I'm at home than when I'm on the road. And there's something to be said for momentum, so I'm getting the most out of my travel-free week.
Here's what I ate yesterday.
Breakfast - 1/2 container full fat greek yogurt sweetend with honey, a bit of paleo style apple custard (coconut milk, coconut oil, apples), few pomegrante seeds, and a sprinkling of slivered almonds (approx 250 cals)
Lunch - lettuce wraps with nitrate free chicken and ham, avocado, artichoke soup (approx 450 cals)
Snack 1 - slice of string cheese (100 cals)
Snack 2 - chicken, tomato, grape seed mayo (100 cals)
Snack 3 - trail mix (100 cals?)
Dinner - pork chop, cauliflower and broccoli cheese casserole (approx 650 cals)
Dessert - leftover apple custard (approx 100 cals)
I don't intend to count calories on a regular basis, but I was curious, so this is an approximation. 1750 total calories is good. I'm happy with that, especially considering I put in just under 2 hours of exercise.
And I have to say everything I ate yesterday was delicious. I did not miss bread, potatoes, or sugar at all. Not one bit!
But I was hungry throughout the day, which is unusual. I can typically get by without snacks, or with just one between breakfast and lunch. I ate 3 snacks yesterday. Mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and after dinner. I couldn't help it. Hungry.
