Sample Day's Menu

[Chels042425]

Hi all! I am new here but recently heard remarkable stories about the Primal diet and Paleo diet. I know this isnt paleo favorable because of all the fruit but can I get your opinion on this diet plan? Thank you!

Breakfast: 2 egg whites, 1 whole egg, .5 ounce of almonds, 1 banana

Lunch: 1 sweet potato, .5 ounces of almonds, 1 grilled chicken breast, some type of vegetable

Snack: .5 ounces of almonds and 2 cups of cantaloupe

Dinner: 1 grilled chicken breast cooked in olive oil, broccoli, 1 cup of blueberries, .5 ounces of almonds

The totals for this are: 1350 calories, 50g of fat, 120g of carbs, 28g of fiber, 102g of protein, 77g of sugar (from the fruit)

What do you all think? Its a very clean diet but a lot of fruit..

Welcome !

Where did you get the idea that there was no fruits during the paleolthic era ? I don't think the hominids in the pre-fire era ever ate according to some preset menus or diet plans!

You may wish to let go of more conventional concepts like why you must eat from several food groups in 1 meal all the time.

Strange why you eat only egg whites.

That does not look like a lot of fruit.

And it is curious why you spread out your eating of almonds.

And it is strange you grilled your chicken?

Is this post meant for cooked paleo diet or it's just a transition thing?

I noticed this first about your food plan. If you are truly following your instinct, then there's nothing wrong with eating from several food groups, but my own experience is just the opposite - I chow down on something, but don't try to plate up a "balanced" meal the way I did on a standard diet.

Fruit, as was mentioned, is not taboo... unless it makes you feel badly. Fruit is my grab-n-go food.
