My Paleo Diet - Day 3 - Recipe & Nutritional Information

So, Day 3 & I haven't gotten along AT ALL today! I felt weak & couldn't complete half of my Bikram yoga class. My muscles & entire body just felt like it was going to give up. I keep hearing that it's the Day 3 hump...so I am pushing through! Not giving up.

So, here is what I had for breakfast:

I had 1/4 cup of mashed sweet potato (with all natural unsweetened applesauce & cinnamon), 1 orange & then sauteed 1 cup kale, 1/4 cup asparagus, 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes & 2 oz of Hormel's Natural Selects turkey (NO NITRATES!)

I did the calorie analysis of the sweet potato on Day 1, and here is the analysis of the kale concoction!

Dinner! I made something new: orange garlic chicken!!! It was sooo good & 7 sauteed brussel sprouts (don't judge, I LOVE them burnt! lol) and the same 1/4 cup sweet potato. All I did was cook the chicken breast (2 oz) in a pan (no oil, kinda just sauteing it) Once it was almost done, I squeezed the juice of 1/4 orange into the pan & garlic & just cooked. Below is the nutritional information on the chicken.
