What to eat? What to eat? Hmm, more like what not to eat!
I did a Whole 30 in January of 2015. It was awesome. Since then we eat much better. Not strictly Whole 30 (because that is not the point of the plan), but we eat really well. I tend to use Whole 30 as my base for weekly meal plans so I thought those in need might enjoy a nice laid out meal plan.
You’ll notice breakfast and lunch are pretty repetitive. That is by design and for simplicity. Generally, meal prep tends to fall to one person in a household and simplifying meals simplifies the time spent preparing meals. The salad or antipasto plate can change as you wish or double up meals to have more leftovers. But, if this is your first Whole 30 I recommend following the K.I.S.S. plan – Keep It Simple Sunshine!
Monday
Breakfast: Antipasto Breakfast – most days for me it is two boiled eggs, either a sliced cucumber or red pepper, and a mix of strawberries, blueberries, and/or raspberries & blackberries
Lunch: Antipasto or Simple Green Salad with protein– most days this is a simple antipasto plate of meat, olives, raw veggies, etc. or a salad of greens on hand, mostly baby spinach, carrot sticks, grilled chicken (made in bulk for the week), a small cup of Kalamata olives and an apple or orange.
Dinner: Chicken Nuggets with Roasted Japanese Eggplant
