Day 30 foods

Alright so I went a little overboard with food today. I was just hungry and I ended up eating a ton! I had my usual breakfast cake with blueberries and cashew butter, plus 3 chicken sausages. I had another scoop of cashew butter around 11:30 and then headed to Chad's office where I met him for lunch. We had delicious Chipotle burrito bowls. Mine was piled high with chicken, fajita veggies, romaine, salsa, and guacamole. Absolutely delightful! Around 4 I snacked on leftover sauteed bell peppers from last night, and about 1/2 cup of leftover chicken.

For dinner I just couldn't help myself. I was craving some sweet potato fries, so that's exactly what I made. I also made spinach/basil pesto turkey burgers and roasted brussels with lots of garlic. Here's what I used for the burgers:

2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 cup fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
EVOO
1 large egg
salt
1 lb ground turkey

I combined everything but the turkey in a blender and pureed. I transferred the puree to a mixing bowl and combined it with the turkey. I divided the mixture into 4 balls and formed them into patties. I stuck the patties in the fridge to firm up for about an hour. To cook I heated a pan and added coconut oil. I cooked the burgers for about 5 minutes on each side, and they came out great.

So it was certainly another successful day of Paleo, however, my carb count came out to about 145g. Just goes to show you how easy it is to consume carbs, even when you stick to fruits and veggies. Sweet potatoes are a killer, but they are full of great nutrients and I deserved them after today's WOD.

Tomorrow I plan to stick to mostly Paleo, but I see a glass of wine in my future! Got to celebrate completing this challenge!
