Typical day:
Breakfast: around an ounce of nuts: walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds (raw)
or carob goodie (unsweetened carob, pecan meal and coconut oil)
Snacks: raw nuts or dry unsweetened coconut, an ounce or so
Lunch: big green salad, with assorted veggies: a little carrot or
tomato,
avocado, radish, cucumber, whatever I have on hand. Sometimes no
dressing, sometimes a little homemade olive oil and vinegar dressing;
about 4 oz. of meat: usually leftover, roast pork or lamb, chicken,
turkey,
occasionally sardines in olive oil.
Supper: Either another green salad, or some cooked veggie dish:
zucchini,
broccoli, onion, cooked greens, cauliflower, or other lo-carb
vegetable,
cooked in olive oil with herbs, maybe tomato. Another 4-5 oz of meat:
pork, lamb, occasionally beef, salmon, chicken, turkey; rarely paleo
chili.
Some nights I have some berries or an apple or pear or a couple of
plums.
Pork and lamb are organic from a local farm, also chicken and turkey;
veggies mostly organic, as much as I can get. Rarely, not more than
once a
week, I'll have a couple of eggs.
Eating out, I usually choose beef (obviously, not organic).
Non paleo: a cup of decaf coffee occasionally, a little organic butter
or ghee.
It doesn't amount to a lot of calories (1200-1400 usually), but it is
quite
satisfying to me.
