I’ve written two posts on Vegetarian Whole 30 (here and here, definitely recommend reading them if you want to know more – Vegetarian Whole 30 is NOT regular Whole 30). Lots of people requested a “day in the life” wrap-up of eats on the plan, so here you go.  I ate Vegetarian Whole 30-ish on Sunday and photographed everything (you’ll see why I say “ish” later).

Well, actually, you’ll see some of the “ish” right away – I had coffee with half and half and Stevia.  On Whole 30, I drank my coffee black or with coconut milk (the actual stuff in a can, not the processed creamer).

As a side note, I try really hard to drink a glass of water BEFORE I start chugging coffee every morning.

Breakfast:

This was a scrambled mess of three eggs, peppers, onions, spinach, and artichoke hearts.  I love artichoke hearts in eggs!  Plus grapes and roasted potatoes with mustard.  Another thing I liked about Whole 30 was it encouraged me to eat bigger meals.

Snack:

Official Whole 30 rules is against snacking, but I can’t do that with workouts.  I had some almonds after my workout – I did 2.0 miles of speedwork followed by some lifting. 

Lunch:

A stir-fry of tofu, onions, broccoli, carrots, and cashews with a side of watermelon.

Snack:

A cheese stick (another “ish” – full-fat plain Greek yogurt is okay on Vegetarian Whole 30 but cheese is not) and an apple. 

Snack:

Okay, CLEARLY, peanut butter cups is not on Vegetarian Whole 30 (no form of added or artificial sugar is!) but in the name of transparency, I had a few peanut butter cups while “supervising” the Husband and the kiddos build a fort.

Dinner time for the munchies!  We eat breakfast + lunch together as a family (Henry will eat some of what I do on Vegetarian Whole 30, but in typical preschooler style, foods must be separated – so the eggs and peppers and onion scramble was cool, just not all together).  For dinner, we usually eat after the kids are in bed – they eat too early for me.

I snacked on more almonds while they ate (my chair was missing because it was part of the fort, hah).

Dinner:

Lentils + tahini sauce, more potatoes, tomatoes, roasted Brussel sprouts. 

Plus frozen cherries while watching the series pilot for Fear the Walking Dead (which was awesome!).

Frozen cherries is a pretty bomb snack, by the way.

So – that’s a typical day of Vegetarian Whole 30 eats!  Other snacks that I’d commonly eat include edamame, macadamia nuts, and Greek yogurt (I usually had Greek yogurt every day).  And I ate a LOT of eggs – I wouldn’t have tofu every day but would often eat two rounds of eggs.  My favorite thing about Vegetarian Whole 30 was how much produce I ate on the plan – I ate at least 12 servings yesterday!  Pretty awesome.

What’s the best thing you ate this weekend?  That artichoke scramble was epic!
