There’s no nutritional information included with the recipes.
If we eat real food, in quantities that are satiating, there’s really no need to niggle over how many calories we ate and what percentage of them came from fat or carbohydrates. The recipes, however, don’t go overboard, either. Fat is an essential nutrient for health and an important component for flavor, so my recipes include just enough fat to make them work, without being overindulgent.
When I adopted a paleo diet, I stopped thinking of foods as appropriate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; instead, (say it with me) I just eat. Grilled chicken and vegetables make an excellent breakfast, and eggs with zucchini can be a comforting dinner after a tough day making your way in the world. Why would you deny yourself the fun of breakfast at 7:00 p.m. or steak after your morning workout by adhering to the conventional notions of breakfast, lunch, and dinner?
