Most of you embarking on this challenge are probably finding yourself more hungry than normal. To keep yourself from reaching for sugar, try these bacon and guacamole sammies from
fitbomb.com. These are the ice cream sandwiches of the Crossfit world. My mouth is watering as I type this and I'm tempted to stay up late just to make them. Holy Moly Guacamole! I typically like to add onions, cilantro, tomatoes, etc to my guacamole but if you're short on time... here is a simple recipe.
Ingredients:
4 strips of thick-cut, nitrate-free bacon
1 medium-sized Haas avocado
1 lime
salt to taste
Mash up the flesh of half an avocado, and cut up the other half into half-inch cubes. Then mix both halves together in a bowl to get a nice blend of chunky 'n creamy. Flavor it with a squirt or two of lime juice and a generous pinch of salt. Enjoy!

that looks delish!
Sto: Breakfast: 4 scrambled eggs, 1/2 bowl left over beef & broccoli, strawberries, apple
Just a quick note - that bacon guac thing looks amazing, but just a tip to be cognizant of the amount of fats you're consuming. Remember balance (carb, protein, fat) is key!
zomg... yum
C-Rose is smart and she hit it right on the nose. Please don't go consuming a whole plate of these and nothing else. Be smart. Another idea I had was to use half the amount of avacado mashed with some hard-boiled egg. Get your protein in there as well. Add some spinach in there, like a real sandwhich. Be creative, use your noggin!
Brilliant! Two of my favorite foods in one meal:)
Breakfast - italian beef sausage, with sauteed onions and eggs scramble, fish oil for dessert(been forgetting to add that in there:)

Feeling hungrier today, due to AM hot yoga.
Ok. That is strange looking, but I'd eat it. Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 egg whites, 1 tsp olive oil. Lunch: 1-1/2 turkey patty, cauliflower, 1 avocado, drop of olive oil. Snack: grapefruit, 2 or 3 oz of deli turkey slices. Dinner: lots of almonds (maybe a half cup or more... I didn't measure), 1-1/2 turkey burger, 1 apple. After Dinner: 1 apple and one pear (I'm still craving treats, so the fruit is tiding me over a bit at night). I think I need to get a bit more creative with my meals.
Enjoyed a green smoothie (blueberries, spinach, mango, lemon juice, and a tbs of cinnamon almond butter w/water. Next time I'd leave out lemon and do the AB only. It added a hint of sweetness and made it creamier) 2 soft boiled eggs.
Had a quick bite of left over thai stir fry an hour before the WOD.
Got home late and ate the rest of my left overs, some turkey and plantain chips. Then a few dried apricots and sunbutter for dessert. I was starving, but tried not to over indulge.
Sto: Had roast chicken and mixed veggies for dinner. Was still really hungry so added some strawberries and an orange. Probably needed them anyway to fill out the carb portion.
Delicious! Thanks!
