I know the sweet potato chips and snack bar are not in the spirit of Whole30, but they are made of compliant ingredients and without them I'd have been severely lacking in calories for the day.

If you've read the book, they specifically tell you that snacking the first 5-7 days is fine as you are severely changing your intake. Now, they do tell you not to do chips and bars, but I found that week 1 those were a must.

Lack of food prepping/shopping is severely hindering me and I must do that soon.

Thats a huge part of my wife and I's success at it. I would grill 5-6 chicken breasts on a Sunday for "In Case" meals. Or she'd do a big crock pot of compliant pulled pork. To have that food just to eat and not have to worry about it makes it so much easier.
