Welcome to the first Kate’s Plate post! If you’ve read this blog for a while, Shannon has numerous posts giving readers a glimpse into what she eats in a day. Here’s my first installment. I tend to eat an 80/20 split paleo/non-paleo, and the 20 usually consists of gluten free things and wine. I rarely eat gluten since it does a number on my stomach. I also eat full fat grass-fed yogurt since I tolerate dairy pretty well, and it helps with my gut.
I took some pictures of my typical day of eating, it’s nothing fancy, but it does the job. I tend to eat more elaborate meals on the weekends and sometimes during the week, but not often.
Breakfast:
For breakfast I ate a fried egg and chicken apple sausage over a bed of arugula and mixed greens.
Snack:
My 10 am snack was a packet of olives. I eat these pretty often, they are a good source of fat, don’t contain junk ingredients and are cheap!
Lunch:
For lunch (at my desk!), I had a big a salad with chicken and a ginger lemon dressing that Shannon and I are working on!
Dinner:
For dinner, more chicken!! This time a roasted bone-in thigh with a lemon garlic sauce I made along side mixed roasted vegetables.
Dessert:
For a little dessert, I had a “glass” of horchata. Califia Farms make this almond milk version which also contains tiger nut milk and rice milk (classic horchata). It is delicious!
