Whole30/Paleo
Any other Whole30ers out there? Anyone doing Paleo? What are your go to lunches? Quick and easy stuff?

I'm doing paleo. I usually have leftovers from dinner the previous day, because when I cook, I make enough for a few meals. I usually have a container of some cooked meat, some containers of sides to choose from, and fresh veggies cut in plastic baggies.

I cook soups/stews/chilis on weekends and freeze them in individual containers. You can also do that with curries or stir fries and freeze individual baggies of cauliflower rice to combine when you're eating it.

I'm doing modified paleo (I do eat some dairy, no grains or sugar). For lunches: leftovers, lunch meat (if I can find sugar-free) wrapped around veggies, meatballs (ground meat with garlic and tomato paste), lettuce wraps tacos, sub sandwiches WHOOPS, sorry I was dreaming there for a sec.:nono: :D hard boiled eggs, "banana bread" and almond butter sandwiches. The banana bread can double as a pancake. It's 1 banana, two eggs, and some almond meal if the batter is too runny. Cook on the stove or griddle just like a pancake.

I'm also doing Paleo :)
For breakfast I usually have egg whites with ham, avocado and cucumber or a salad with hard boiled eggs (yolks removed) with chickpeas and avocado and on the weekends, sometimes I'll make Paleo pancakes which are awesome! I got the recipe from a free recipe book I downloaded online from a website called Skinny Life Tea (can't post a link). Highly recommend! Lunch will usually be salad with chicken, beef or fish and dinner is usually the same, or chicken/beef with roast veg or zuchinni spaghetti with bolognese sauce (also from that recipe book). Every now and then I'll also have some rye toast or quinoa if I'm really craving carbs and I'm working out a lot. It's working really well for me. |
I'm on Day 4 of Whole30 right now. It was sooo challenging for the last 3 days, but today, it is getting better. The thought of anything processed disgusts me. I am a little sad about not being able to have any sweets, though. (Funny because I do not have a sweet tooth! I'm a big grain-eater normally.) I'm doing this to help with an autoimmune disease flare-up, but the fact that I should lose a bit of weight with this really helps keep me motivated. I'm hoping to go back to paleo 90% of the time after this Whole30 is up. (I stuck with paleo during my second pregnancy - again, to help with autoimmune disorder. I gave birth weighing 10 pounds less than I did at my 4 week appointment, even though I was eating more than before. I also had the best skin, hair and health of my life! So much energy! I'm so mad I let myself go back to SAD.)
Today, for lunch, I made tuna salad... I made my own grapeseed mayo and added mustard, half an apple, pepper, and paprika to a family sized pack of tuna. My kids and I ate it together. Normally, I try to eat leftovers for lunch. I seek out "nom nom Paleo" and "PaleOMG" bloggers for more recipe ideas. |
