Care to share what are some typical meals you eat for breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks?

Hey sorry for not responding earlier about the paleo thing

I'll give you an idea of what I generally eat

Breakfast - Honestly I rarely eat breakfast because I'm usually not that hungry in the morning. Sometimes I'll have a mid morning snack of a banana and/or a handful of walnuts

Lunch - I like doing a spinach salad with baked or grilled chicken breast along with some avocado, tomatoes, walnuts, and an EVOO based salad dressing. I would say that I do this fairly often. When I go out for lunch I usually get a blackened shrimp salad.

Some of my more common dinner meals:

Grassfed ribeye with a side of asparagus. Cook to your liking obviously. I know it's not easy to find grassfed produce but they have a sprout's farmer's market here that usually has some small (about 8 oz) grassfed ribeyes

Baked Salmon with a vegetable side

One of my favorites lately is the butter lettuce tacos and wraps. Cook some pork, chicken, or beef, and chop it up with some spices and add some guacamole and wrap it up in these small butter lettuce leaves. Delicious. You an also try some Asian style wraps instead of tacos. I would say I do some form of lettuce wraps about once a week.

I also include things such as baked or smoked turkey into my routine. You just have to remember it's mostly lean meat and fresh produce.

I keep a few containers with walnuts, almonds, and pine nuts around the office to use with salads or as snacks. I keep a basket of fruit in the office and I usually have some berries in the refrigerator.

I'm not a fan of the recommendation to severely eliminate salt so I eat foods high in potassium to counterbalance that portion of the diet. Usually avocado and tomatoes

Good menu

I keep it simple and easy and just George Foreman grill a lot of my food and whip up a side salad. Other things I like to do are some easy casseroles, like zucchini and squash beef casserole, or green bean casserole. You can make a quiche by whipping together eggs, heavy whipping cream, and mayo (I use the EVOO mayo from Kraft) and spreading that over whatever you want to be in the quiche (warning.. the quiche idea is very high in calories as it is high in fat.. so be careful!!). Once you get accustomed to taking out the grains from your diet, cooking without them comes next. It takes a good adjustment to cook without them as they are in EVERYTHING people normally eat. But once you get adjusted, you'll be able to cook whatever comes to mind. A lot of times I just cut up meat and throw it in a skillet and brown and season it and eat that with some other veggies.

I am buying Marzetti's simply dressed currently but I am curious if there is something better I could make besides just an olive oil vinegrette all the time. I prefer creamy dressings.

Honestly my go-to is Caesar or ranch and I still eat cheese and use heavy craem in recipes.. It's not technically paleo, but I've never been 100% convinced in everything the paleo diet hypes.. to me the carb and calorie intake is most important vs eating grass-fed or all-natural stuff. Of course, if I could afford those things I would get them, but $$$$$$$$$$$

Eta

oh and once in a while i still have hummus.

If you're still doing dairy you're essentially on the wheat belly diet and not the paleo diet

never heard of the wheat belly diet. I don't do much dairy, just some cheese, and a little heavy cream if a recipe calls for it. Oh and creamer in my coffee.

---

I read the book before the paleo diet sometime last year

The guy essentially just tells you to remove all wheat from your diet

He gets into more specific diet recommendations beyond just eliminating wheat but it's fairly similar to the paleo diet.

Nuts, healthy oils, vegetables, proteins, avoid cured meats...the only main difference is that he includes dairy as part of things that you should eat with the preference going to whole milk and hard cheeses.

I buy the refrigerated ones that have no high fructose corn syrup (It is a simply natural type brand). I may look into something with buttermilk in at and see if I can find a recipe. Thanks guys.

eta: I use soy creamer and soy milk hulk but I know people have different opinions of soy. I just prefer the taste to regular.

I get almond milk

Hubs hates coconut and would freak if I put the milk in his food even if he could not taste it. I find almond milk too thick.

Should have never bought this new laptop

should have got a Macbook Pro like me. It can do everything that your Chromebook does and was only $1700 more.
