From Jan 1 – 31 I’m doing a strict paleo (slightly modified Whole30) challenge with my CrossFit box. I decided to journal the month in food on here (in addition to normal posting) after getting a huge positive response on my Facebook page. I’m also going to detail the amount of sleep I got, the workout for the day and any other relevant notes. I’ll only detail drinks when it’s something other than water or tea, but note that I typically drink 80-100 ounces of water a day. I’ll link to recipes (either mine or other people’s) when applicable, but I don’t usually cook from recipes for myself so if you leave a comment asking for the recipe for something, there is none unless otherwise noted.

The mushrooms look so good! Roasted cauliflower is one of my favs.
Protein powder recommendations? I’m on the fence whether I ought to get one. If I order online it has to be cheap but I really (really) want something digestively friendly. I am not a “real” exerciser though….just looking for variety and another protein source. Thanks for any thoughts.
I’m actually not a good person to ask for this. I don’t like or buy any of the “good” ones. I think Vega is disgusting for example while everyone swears by it. I have a 5lb. tub of Designer Whey (vanilla) in my pantry and that’s what I use when I use it (very infrequently). It’s relatively cheap, widely available and “ok” as far as ingredients go.
Is that pure isolate or does it include concentrate? Thanks.
