Depends on what I'm up to - lifting/CrossFit, easy walking the dog, being lazy, what the weather is like. All my nutrition is solid but will fluctuate depending on my output and surroundings.

Yesterday I cruised through:

A banana, two eggs, roasted Japanese sweet potato, braised kale, an heirloom orange, a few big bites of dark chocolate, an iced coffee, hot mint tea, a wedge of meatza, iced mint tea - I really like tea!, seared steak/tomatoes/avocado/kale with jalapeno and lime, sheeps milk yogurt with blackberries and raspberries. Water was probably about 2L total.

It was an easy eating day as its hot here where I am, the hunger was stifled a bit :)

Breakfast - Coffee

Morning Tea - Coffee

Lunch - Salad (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, carrot, mushroom, capsicum), cottage cheese, my tuna mix (100g tuna, avocado, jalapeño sauce, lemon juice, spring onion, ton of pepper, yum).

This was over the course of two meals...and isn't my average appetite. Decided to try to gain weight for the day...caffe misto @ Starbucks and butter from the stick really got me.

Breakfast @ 10pm: Ham, 2 eggs, a glass of kefir, cafe misto from Starbucks.

Dinner @ 7pm: Ham, 2 eggs, a glass of kefir, a cup of kale, butter, banana, sweet potato

Yesterday:

About noon~pastured pork sausage stir fried with baby bok choy, green beans and baby kale topped with two fried eggs from my hens, beet sauerkraut, a few plantain chips...

About five~More stir fried veggies as above(needed to be used up!), brined and roasted chicken thighs, kimchi, and a small amount of bacon fat roasted parsnip chips...

Try paleo-fying your old favorite foods. Make swedish meatballs with onion instead of breadcrumbs in the meat and a greek yogurt mushroom sauce. Meatloaf and stuffed peppers can be made the same way. A favorite of mine is zucchini pasta, shred your squashies with a veggies peeler down to the seeds, salt them and then put them in a colander with a paper towel and heave object on top. This will press the water out of them so they are like al dente pasta. Rinse after an hour + and lay out on a towel to dry for a few minutes. You dont need to cook these just pour your sauce on top and meat on top...mmmm chicken broccolit mac and cheese.

If you want you can check out my primal journal, I am always posting some interesting food experiments in there, it takes a while to read so skip around to the recipies. I am going to make some protein muffins this week too that are good for grab and go breakfast.
