More about what I am eating

My students asked if I'm blogging about what I'm eating and how do I keep up variety. Great questions.

Breakfast:

6 eggs (3 for each of us) cooked in coconut oil or butter
Sauteed veggies--onions, peppers, kale, tomatoes, asparagus, or any combination of the aforementioned
Bacon or ham or turkey or chicken apple sausage (depending on the day)
Avocado (Eboni doesn't like avocaod so I ususally eat 1 full half of one with my eggs)
Water, and lots of it.


Lunch:

Some days it's grilled or roasted chicken or a hamburger or turkey burger (no bun), steak or pot roast, or fish
Some veggies, depends on what the dining hall has
Some times salad
Most days a piece of fruit
I allow myself to have some hot chocolate from the dining hall because it's made with water and I figure it's okay enough to cheat with that
Water

Dinner: (what a pain)
Steak, chicken, turkey, whatever protein the dining hall has to offer
Some veggies again it depends on what's offered
If there is rice, I'll have some rice depending on what I had for lunch (rice isn't Paleo but I need some variety)
Water

Snacks:
Turkey jerky or beef jerky
Fruit-orange, apple, pear or banana (whatever the dining hall had)
Meatballs 
Deli turkey
Raw almonds
Half of an avocado
Peppermint tea or any tea really, I keep a bag in my desk so I can choose depending on my mood
Apple with some raw honey or almond butter
Banana with almond butter (I don't do this one a lot only a rare occassion)


Some days I'm bored, some days I'm perfectly happy but it depends entirely on the fruit or vegetable options. 

Some nights if we need a dessert we will sautee some fruit in butter and put raw sugar on it. Kills cravings and hits the sweet spot. Or we will eat a little dark chocolate from Trader Joe's (they have a 1lb bar). 

What's unforatunate is that we don't have a lot of say in how and what we are eating but fortunately we don't have to cook and I've said this before, we don't have to worry about eating the same thing. But I guess it's getting easier with time. I will slip and fall back but that's okay. We're only human.
