My Paleo Diet - Day 2 - Recipes & Nutritional Information!

Oh Day 2! I am still only eating 1/2 cup of starch a day (which is what I read via several articles the amount you should eat on a Paleo diet, since it focus more on other "Mother Nature" type foods) I had a long day, so I am unsure the crash I felt right after dinner was because of my limited intact on starches or the long day. However I still managed to hit the gym tonight & burn off a few calories! 

Oh, and I do have lunch! Even if it's not pictured. Another part of this diet is that you eat whenever you're hungry (not the typical 5 small meals every couple of hours deal)...and even though there are no counting calories, I will still be posting the information for you (I am using the recipe calculator over at Calorie Count.

This is pretty much the same breakfast as yesterday (I haven't used any of the amazing recipes I found on Paleo Plan yet) Along with some strawberries!
