Fat Challenge Day 1 - 7.30.09

I've decided to do another "challenge" since I seem to enjoy them so much:). I'm only setting a goal of 2 weeks for this one and will continue on from there as I see fit.

This challenge will be to eat more fat every day and to eat ZERO cheat meals. I'm not going 100% paleo yet, b/c I will still occasionally eat soy, peanut butter and might have dairy here & there, but I will limit these.

Breakfast - 2 fried eggs, 2 soy sausages, 15 almonds, 1tsp. sunbutter (mental note: TOO sweet for morning time!)

Lunch - Meat sauce w/spaghetti squash + 15 almonds + 1tsp. peanut butter

Snack - 1 banana, 9 almonds

Dinner - 1 chicken thigh + 1.5c. roasted brussel sprouts + 4tsp. peanut butter

Snack - 1 banana + 4 strawberries + blueberries + 6 pecan halves + 2tsp. coconut flakes

Meat vs. beans in our evolutionary history.

Do people ACTUAL believe this kind of thing will work?

7.29.09

I'm super excited that Melissa Byers left me some advice on my blog! :) (I know, I'm a nerd).

So the plan of attack is to eat more fat. Started off the day in the negative b/c I figured the olive oil I fried my eggs in would be enough fat for breakfast. It's 9:30 and I'm STARVING. So, for future reference, I need to eat more fat in the mornings.

Breakfast - 2 eggs (fried in EVOO) + 2 soy patties

Lunch - Greek salad (olives, feta, lettuce, tomato, artichoke hearts) + 2tbs. greek dressing. I'm pretty sure greek dressing is NOT paleo, but this is basically a wash since I ate out. **STARVING by 3PM... missing that protein & fat for sure**

Dinner - (eating out again) 2 h.b. eggs + spinach + medley of veggies + low-carb sesame dressing (probably not paleo)

Snack - 2tsp. sunbutter (@ 7PM), then fruit salad (banana, 4 strawberries, blueberries, 6 pecan halves, & 2tbs. shredded coconut)

Eating out twice today was probably not the best idea, but I had a good time visiting with a friend & my mom, so it is what it is.

Target for tomorrow: MORE FAT!

Great article on Thunder Heart Bison farm in Austin, TX. I want to get some meat from this guy!
