Portion Control. According to Whole30

Just so you know this is coming out of the Whole30 program. Check out their handy printout on how to plan your meal or even plate it: Meal Planning Template,

Basically 3 meals daily unless you work out, than you get a bonus meal.

Plate your meal with 1-2 "Palm Sized" Proteins than fill the remainder of the plate with your veggies. Occasionally eat some fruit. Cook with a touch of fat.

They do not want you to snack. Stick only to your 3-4 meals daily. I am clearly not there. I snack on a few berries in-between.

Here is a link to a really great can I have list: http://whole30.com/2013/06/the-official-can-i-have-guide-to-the-whole30/

Whole30 Day 1 June 1st 2014

DAY ONE.

Breakfast: scrambled eggs with garlic leaks and salmon.
Went to a farmer's market. Sampled a great raw kale and thahni salad. And I don't even like raw kale.

Lunch/BBQ: kale salad with thahni, hot dogs and grilled avocado mashed with roasted corn and onions.
I didn't even think about the hot-dogs having sugar I'm still not even sure if I can have corn...guess what. Now I have to start over! Which blows considering I didn't drink any beer although tempted.  I missed out.

Dinner: Sweet potatoes topped with two poached eggs.

Snacks: (guess I should be only doing 3 meals a day with no snacking. Hey, I'm trying here) Strawberries,  zucchini, strips of carne asada.
