    My Whole30 starts today, as well as my husband. We've done Paleo before, and both felt great but fell off the wagon. Looking forward to feeling my best again.

    Have come down with a cold. No energy to cook. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

    Boiled egg packs and avocado is always an easy choice.

    Egg "muffins" can work. Fry bacon and/or sausage, break up and add to nonstick muffin cups (we bake in silicone), along with veggies (we most often use leftover roasted veggies, yum, today's batch was cubed sweet potato and Brussels sprouts roasted with avocado oil, Himalayan salt, and granulated garlic). Beat eggs, one or two per muffin cup, with a bit of water. Pour eggs over meat and veggies to cover. Bake until eggs are set.

    These freeze well. They're sort of like muffin fritatas or mini-crustless-quiche. You can let them thaw and eat them cold, or heat them up.

    Another quick breakfast I've done in the past has been fat bombs and coffee or green tea with added collagen (2 tbs collagen is a full meal's worth of protein). It feels amazingly decadent to savor a fat bomb or two that is made up of coconut oil and carob powder, or (if I need a bit more body to it) coconut oil, dried shredded coconut, and carob powder. No need to add sweetener if I use carob instead of cocoa or cacao. This will keep me full and energized even if I end up having a late lunch.

    Though I don't know if it fits with Whole30 guidelines. The egg muffins I posted just before this would be more likely to be Whole30 compliant.

    *Almost* pulled off a Whole30 day today, and then I realized that I drank coffee with cream and a sparkling lemon Dasani, which I don't think is Whole30 even though there's no sweetener in it.

    I'll have to pay more attention tomorrow. Am trying to get back into healthy eating habits after sliding for too long.

    I'm definitely trying this, what a great idea!
