And breakfast can be even harder, since there’s only so much time in the morning to whip up something healthy and get out the door.

Remind Me: What's Whole30 All About?

First off, what is Whole30? “It’s a 30-day reset designed to change your health, your habits and your relationship with food, explains Sam Presicci, RD, CPT, a dietitian with Snap Kitchen. “For 30 days, you eliminate commonly inflammatory foods, reintroducing them slowly and deliberately starting on day 31 to see how each food impacts you.”

 Whole30-compliant foods include:

Veggies and fruits Animal proteins like beef, pork, chicken or bison Seafood Nuts and seeds Healthy fats like avocados and avocado oil, ghee, extra virgin olive oil, olives, coconut oil, pasture-raised animal fats and unsweetened coconut

Things to avoid on Whole30:

Gluten Grains (even gluten-free options) Added sugars Alcohol Legumes Dairy Carrageenan MSG, or sulfites Baked goods Junk food or “treats” (even with compliant ingredients)

Keep in mind that it’s meant to be a short-term diet. “The Whole30 is not meant to be the Whole365, but rather a short-term reset,” Presicci says. However, you want to make sure you’re still getting the fuel you need for those 30 days, especially bright and early in the morning. “The goal is to find the foods that work for you so that you can still feel great but have a wider variety in your diet,” she says.

As for what to look for in a good breakfast on Whole30, Presicci recommends combining healthy fats from nuts and seeds or avocado with solid protein from eggs, collagen, meat and/or greens. You also want fiber, to help you stay fuller longer. And of course, enjoy fruit and seasonings, like spices and herbs, to make the dish more enjoyable and flavorful.
