I diced the onion and crushed the bacon. I made the bacon in the beginning of the week and keep it in a Tupperware in the refrigerator. I glazed the onions in coconut oil and then added the bacon and sausage links. Once the links were cooked I took them out and cooked the spinach in the sauce. Served it with a little mustard on the side.

Very simple dinner and it was delicious, I loved the spinach with onion and bacon.

I seasoned the tofu and then fried it in a pan with coconut oil with the walnuts and almonds on top of it. Steamed the broccoli and cut the tomato. I sprinkled garlic powder over the veggies and served it.

This was the first time I ate tofu. I wanted to know what it tastes like, and let me tell you that after the first few bites I ended up only eating the veggies. I don't like the texture or the taste of tofu. It wasn't gagging bad, but I just don't care for it. It has no taste, and it's like eating a sponge. Maybe in a tofu taco or tofu burger or something like that I would eat it, but not as whole blocks.

Oatmeal without the "Oats"

I only ate half of this bowl and was completely stuffed. I can't believe how filling this was. The list of ingredients is for half of the bowl in this picture.

1/2 scoop - Whey protein powder
30g - Walnuts (crushed)
30g - Coconut (flakes)
1/4 cup - Flax seed (meal)
30g - Green apple (diced)
50g - Banana (sliced)
1/4 cup - Almond milk
1 - Organic brown egg (egg white only)
Spices: 1tsp. Cinnamon

Calories: 506 | Carbs: 30 | Fat: 37 | Protein: 26 | Fiber: 11

The stores in my area all only sell sweetened coconut flakes, so I bought a whole coconut, split it and took the meat out. I then grated the coconut to make my own flakes. I crushed the walnuts in to smaller junks and sliced/diced the apple and banana.

I mixed all the dry ingredients (protein powder, walnuts, coconut, flax seed, 1 tsp. cinnamon) together, then added the egg white and almond milk. When everything was mixed up evenly I added the apple and banana.

I poured it in a small pot and heated it up at low/medium heat until it started bubbling and then stirred it for about 2 minutes.
