Primal Blueprint Sample Menu - Redux page 2

"...and sugar..." ???


I thought sugar was completely evil?

[Tarlach]

Ecala - I can eat over 2.2lb of meat in a sitting If I am very hungry. Usually somewhere between 1 and 2 lb of meat a day. I prefer things like pork belly which I then eat less of (more fat).


dalvarez - Looks pretty good! I personally don't eat nightshades, but they are still 'primal' according to Mark. And watch out that your chicken salad isn't too lean.

[deepthought]

OK, here's a regular day for me:


B: 3 eggs fried in butter, a bowl with milk/acidophilus and flax seeds with some flax seed oil.


L: chicken breast with coconut flake crusting and a green salad with olive oil. some brazil nuts for dessert


afternoon snack. a couple of powerballs


D: fried fish with parmesan on top, spinach based salad with some feta cheese and crushed almonds on top.

[MikeGP]

Are cashews allowed? i read somewhere that theyre not considered nuts....please someone elaborate. I love cashews.

[madMUHHH]

As far as I'm concerned cashews are okay, could be wrong though. But peanuts are definitely not okay, maybe you switched those two up.

[Daughter of Grok]

I love these posts. It serves as a refresher on some additional options that I had forgotten that I had.


Cashews aren't nuts, but that doesn't necessarily eliminate them from being primal. I'm not sure about them, I would be curious to know if they contain any toxins, or spike blood sugar. Anyone know what their fat/protein/carb content is?
