Whole30 #3 – Day 3 – Gastography

Today was good, despite the beginnings of a breakfast meltdown. Not as veggie laden as I’d hoped, but such is life.

Breakfast

Breakfast almost resulted in a meltdown. We waited late (again), the cricket protein bar I was excited about eating turned out to have honey in it, and then – when we were well into the subway station and down to a lucky 1x reception, I got anxious about whether dried cherries were forbidden or on the limit list (the limit list, as are walnuts – which were also in my bar). By this point, I was starving and starting to get dizzy. Luckily the train didn’t come right away and my phone was able to load the page I needed to put my fears at rest.

Breakfast was black coffee from 7-11 with homemade almond milk and a beef/cherry/habanero Epic Bar.

Lunch

Today, we decided to avoid the rain and cold and jump into crowds at the American Museum of Natural History. AMNH is one of those places I don’t mind eating in the cafeteria at – they always have some kind of compliant meat and usually some sort of veg I can grab from the cold bar.

Today I chose roasted pork loin, chicken breast, sweet potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Dinner

Score! This uncured capicola from The Piggery is compliant! I know today I’m doing a crappy job of eating veggies, but this was infinitely more exciting than salad. Cured meat is one of my favorite ‘I’m dying and I need protein’ snacks to grab while walking around the city, and a compliant version is even better.

The Brussels were fantastic, too – balsamic roasted.
