Dinner - it's what's for breakfast

I eat a lot of eggs. A lot. My family eats 2 dozen eggs a week. And that is mostly me. I eat 3 eggs a day. I don't care if I am eating them for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And without toast, oatmeal, cereal, you might be wondering what my quick go-to breakfast is - or, you read the title of this post and already know.

Yes, my breakfast of choice (oh, besides eggs & bacon) is leftovers from dinner. I know, crazy right? Not really. Breakfast is just another meal. And we have convinced ourselves that grains, carbs, and more sugars are a balanced breakfast - hey, if the fake family on my TV says so, it must be true.

Don't freak out about what to eat. Just follow the Whole30 meal template - protein the size of your palm, good fat the size of your thumb and veggies. Still hungry? Have some fat & protein. Honestly, I am never hungry when doing Whole30. I feel like I am eating all the time.

So, today's meals were:
Breakfast - leftover pork chop, kale, spaghetti squash
Lunch - chicken sausage, carrots and onions with half an avocado (I had the sausage leftover from breakfast on Sunday. So, I sauteed the onions and carrots until caramelized/slightly browned and mixed in the sausage. It needed something a little creamy so I added the avacado in chucks).
Pre-workout snack - half an avocado
post-workout snack - acorn squash, grassfed ground beef, jalapenos
Dinner - chicken wrapped with onion and bacon and swiss chard
