Lynnet Bannion's Typical Day


Lynnet Bannion's Typical Day

Breakfast: around an ounce of nuts: walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds (raw) or carob goodie (unsweetened carob, pecan meal and coconut oil)

Snacks: raw nuts or dry unsweetened coconut, an ounce or so

Lunch: big green salad, with assorted veggies: a little carrot or tomato, avocado, radish, cucumber, whatever I have on hand. Sometimes no dressing, sometimes a little homemade olive oil and vinegar dressing; about 4 oz. of meat: usually leftover, roast pork or lamb, chicken, turkey, occasionally sardines in olive oil.

Supper: Either another green salad, or some cooked veggie dish: zucchini, broccoli, onion, cooked greens, cauliflower, or other lo-carb vegetable, cooked in olive oil with herbs, maybe tomato. Another 4-5 oz of meat: pork, lamb, occasionally beef, salmon, chicken, turkey; rarely paleo chili. Some nights I have some berries or an apple or pear or a couple of plums.

Pork and lamb are organic from a local farm, also chicken and turkey; veggies mostly organic, as much as I can get. Rarely, not more than once a week, I'll have a couple of eggs.
Eating out, I usually choose beef (obviously, not organic).

It doesn't amount to a lot of calories (1200-1400 usually), but it is quite satisfying to me.
