Morning!
So I really should have written this type of post oh, say, 3 weeks ago, and not a day before the 30 day Paleo challenge is scheduled to end, however I’m apparently not very good with a calendar. Further evidence of this? I have been telling everyone 30 days from January 2 is February 2………..Um, no – it really isn’t.
Anywho, I thought it might be helpful for ya’ll to see an example of a typical day of meals for me! Keep in mind, I haven’t been doing a traditional Whole30, just 30 days of Paleo (a Whole30 is stricter). Not all of these are from the exact same day, but they are pretty darn close to exactly what I have on most days. And in case you’re wondering, I usually drink a lot of water, some coffee {black}, and plain ol’ sugar free iced tea (<–my family is obsessed and always has some in the fridge). Plus, I know many of you started the challenge a few days after I did, and are hoping to maintain this way of eating for the long-term.
Disclaimer: I not a Paleo expert or a registered dietitian, or even anything remotely connected to the medical field.
Now, without further ado……..
Breakfast
[Usually two eggs and a side of chicken sausage or bacon, or a few Paleo pancakes; all of the above with a side of berries. Also, I always have a banana every morning and hot tea.]
Lunch
[A salad topped with chicken/lean steak/hard-boiled eggs, filled with lots of veggies and often some avocado, or a bunless burger with a side of steamed vegetables.]
Snack
[Some type of Paleo bar (like a Lara bar!), or a few slices of deli turkey or handful of trail mix. If I don't have an afternoon snack, I become VERY unpleasant. 
Sometimes, when I'm out and about running errands, I'll also stop at Coffee Bean and get a latte with almond milk!]
Dinner
[Meat + veggies, with a sweet potato on the side. Rarely do I skip the sweet potato portion of each day.]
Dessert
[For example, a serving of coconut ice cream, OR some dried fruit (apricots or dates) and nuts. I try to avoid too much dried fruit, though, because of the sugar content. Sometimes I'll just have a second banana before bed, occasionally with a smear of almond butter.]
That’s it, you guys!
I’m certainly not saying the above is perfect or a 1000% percent example of all my days (or how you should eat in your own life, of course), but it’s a good snapshot of my eats lately throughout my 30 Paleo days in 2013, thus far. 
What’s a typical day of Paleo meals look like to you??
I am a clean eater about 75 percent of the time so I guess you could say I eat paleo but I would call myself more raw vegan with some meat occasionally.. Haha I had no idea coffee bean had almond milk, good to know! I get cranky without a snack too! Love + Shine CourtStar
I eat clean most of the time. Breakfast is usally a couple of eggs and sausage or bacon.
lunch will be something like grilled chicken or beef w/ avocado on the side (or some other healthy fat).
dinner will be a protein (grass fed preferably) with some high calorie carbs (sweet potatoes) if I work out, or maybe some greens if I don’t.
Forgot to add…the Whole30 Challenge is tough (i haven’t done it consistently for 30 days with no cheating). Have you tried listening to Robb Wolf’s podcast. There’s lots of really useful info on there and after you listen to a dozen or so podcasts you will feel like everybody should be paleo.
It is tough! I haven’t listened to a podcast of his yet, but I’ve read a lot of his posts.. I don’t necessarily agree, but he makes it seem like you’re crazy NOT to go Paleo.
