Breakfast- 3 eggs, 3 strips of bacon, 1 cup of skim milk (had to steal Elizabeth's out of whole milk) 2 shots of Cool Brew concentrate
Lunch- 2 small center cut pork chops cooked in coconut oil, 1 1/2 cup of strawberries and 1 TBS of almond butter
Snack- Kind bar and beef jerkey
Dinner- 4 Happiness Dish from Trey Yuen, shrimp, pork, beef, and chicken with mixed Chinese vegetables. I did not eat the rice, but I did had an egg roll and a fortune cookie. There was some sort of brown sauce on the dish. I'm sure it is not the best thing for you, but it was not a sweet sauce, so I'm hoping that it didn't have too much sugar. Also, Trey Yuen does not use MSG for cooking.
Late Night- The left overs from Trey Yuen and 1 piece of chocolate toffee

Weekend restaurant visits and the grocery store
Today's blog will discuss two restaurant visits, my trip to the grocery store, and today's meals. I will also add that I ate several desserts that were left over from my fiancee's bridal shower, and they were delicious!
On Friday night we went to Superior Grill. I love Superior for two reasons. I can stay pretty clean by my standards and the food is wonderful. Friday night I had the steak and shrimp fajitas. I did not eat the beans, rice, or tortillas. I basically had the steak, shrimp wrapped in bacon, cheese, onions, guacamole, and peppers. Not totally paleo, but high in protein, fat, iron, and omega 3s. If you can stay away from the chips and salsa at the beginning of the meal, you can have a pretty clean amazing meal.
On Sunday night we went to Camellia Grill. I like Camellia Grill for the same reasons I like Superior Grill. I had a Manhattan omelet with no potatoes. A regular Manhattan omelet comes with onions, corned beef, potatoes, and American and Swiss cheese. Not the most strict paleo adherence, but it was very tasty and contains high amounts of protein and fat. The omelet also has a low carbohydrate count with even lower sugar.
Grocery List
Sanderson Farm chicken breast, green onion pork sausage, Eggland's Best omega enriched eggs, Blue Diamond almond milk, Winn-Dixie organic milk (skim and whole), strawberries, apples, bananas, bacon, butter, red peppers, spinach, frozen vegetables, Blue Diamond raw almonds, red wine vinegar, boneless pork chops,and tarragon leaves.
Today Monday May 23, 2011
Breakfast- Big Breakfast from McDonald's, just ate the eggs and sausage, got an additional sausage biscuit and just ate the sausage, Starbucks espresso with whole milk
Post WOD- 50 g of Monster Milk and 5 strawberries
Lunch- Basil Chicken Salad from McAllister's with extra chicken, coke zero
Snack- Mango Kind Bar
Dinner- Spinach, red peppers, mushroom, chicken, olive oil and garlic, 3 pieces of toffee covered in dark chocolate.

Breakfast- Another can of albacore tuna It's getting old. I also had some raw broccoli and carrots and a Kind Bar-coconut almond.
Snack- A little more raw broccoli and carrots
Lunch- Roast shaved pork, a little coleslaw, and a salad with some ham and cheese and olive oil dressing
Pre-workout/afternoon snack- 30 g of whey 1/2 cup of whole mile and some water
Post WOD- 30 g whey protein, a banana and about 1/2 cup of strawberries
Dinner- 1 leg, thigh, and wing of a rotisserie chicken, 10 baby carrots, 1/2 an avocado, and a Kind Bar again (mango)
I tried the pre-workout shake again today. I think it helped but it was too soon before the workout. I am going to try to take it about 75-90 minutes before the wod. Today was more like 45 minutes. After the weekend, I may have some actual dining out data for you.

Tuesday May 17
Breakfast- I had another can of the albacore tuna. It is Winn Dixie brand. I would prefer Starkist, but I went with the bargain. I also had some Blue Diamond almonds, raw.
Mid-morning snack- I had just a couple more almonds.
Lunch- For lunch I had chicken and andouille gumbo with okra. I ate it with no rice. I also know that a minimal amount of flour is used in making the roux, but I didn't drink much of the gumbo broth. Basically had turkey, sausage, and okra for lunch.
Afternoon/Pre-workout- 1/2 cup of whole milk mixed with 30 grams of whey protein, one tablespoon of almond butter
Post workout- 30 grams of whey mixed with 12 oz of coconut water and a banana
Dinner- one leg, wing, and thigh of a rotisserie chicken from Winn-Dixie, 1/2 cup of frozen green beans steamed in the bag with a little real butter, and a Kind - Nut Delight bar
These bars are gluten free and have no HFCS aka high fructose corn syrup aka poison. I'm sure they are not perfect but they taste yummy. Try to catch a sale at Whole Foods. I don't usually drink a protein shake before my WOD, but I really felt good today. I am going to try that again.

Monday May 16th.
This is my first day posting actual meals. I plan on posting all meals and spending a little extra time explaining the meals that are either dining out or take out.
Breakfast-Can of tuna fish, some almonds, and a cup of whole milk with 2 and 1/2 shots of Coolbrew coffee concentrate
Snack-More almonds and sausages
Lunch-I will have to do a little explaining here. My employer is generous enough to provide us with a private chef for the staff. He cooks for the group, but will usually take out ingredients for me if I ask him. I must remind you here that this blog is not intended to be preachy about strict adherence to the paleo diet but rather, a hybrid diet that I follow. My diet is just what I do and what it does for me. Every person is different and needs to experiment to some degree to find what works best for them and their goals. That being said, I hope some people will find my meals helpful as suggestions to make clean eating (or my definition of it) possible and actually quite simple. Today, I had Shepherd's Pie with no potatoes. Basically some carrots, ground beef and some cheese. I also had a salad with grape seed oil dressing.
Post activity / WOD- 40 grams of whey protein and a banana
Dinner-Taco salad consisting of ground beef, cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and lettuce
That was my day. Two other issues I would like to discuss on the first post here are hydration and supplementation. For each meal and throughout the day, assume I drink water. If I do not specify another beverage, I drank water. I try to drink about a gallon of water a day. As far as supplements, I take 3.6 grams of only the finest fish oil. I'm not entirely joking with my hint of facetiousness. I do try to get a very high quality of fish oil. My preferred brand is Life Extension, which is rated highest and is the best price for the rating. I find it makes a difference. I also take a normal multivitamin like Centrum Performance.
