Try and increase the fish oil to 3 grams (3000 mg) per day. That's been shown to be the most beneficial.
Excellente! Glad to see you guys in the gym so often, too.

Post-WOD/Breakfast12 oz. Protein Shake (23g) 1 c. sweet pot. mash with onions (Val), 3/4 c. (Alden) 3 slices bacon 2 eggs 1 cup of mixed mushrooms and steak 1,000 mg fish oil (**Increased to 3,000 starting today, Wed.) Lunch (Val)5-6 oz. lean hamburger 1 avocado with light sea salt 1 c. kale chips (light olive oil and sea salt baked) 12 oz. coffee black Lunch (Alden) 1 sweet potato 2 c. cucumber and tomato salad with 12 oz. chicken breast 12 oz. coffee black Dinner1 1/2 c. sweet potato casserole 6 oz. chicken breast 1 c. steamed broccoli 1 tablespoon almond butter (Val) *Water throughout the day. Bottom line, we needed this lifestyle change! Since opening the brewery, we have been putting long hours (physically and mentally) into our days. For the past week and half now, our energy levels last us through a more productive day. We are strict with getting to bed before 8pm on Sunday, Monday, and Wednesday nights to allow us to attend CrossFit in the morning. We do see how our bodies are mentally and physically changing, yes to the diet, but also from working out at CrossFit 3x a week (CONSISTENTLY ). Needless to say, we are very pleaesed with the whole picture.
Thank you, Wendy!

Let's cut back on so much almond flour bread and almond butter. All those nuts are inflammatory. Maybe you can find a bread recipe that uses coconut flour, although those tend to be pretty dry. Swap in some other fats or eat protein.

Sunday, 2/8
Breakfast 2 hard-boiled eggs 12 oz. coffee black (Alden) 12 oz. hot Jasmine tea (Val) 3 bacon, lettuce, tomato wraps (butter lettuce) 1/2 avocado
Lunch 4 oz. chicken legs 4 c. salad with carrots, avocado, 1 hard-boiled egg, pear vinegar dressing, 1/2 of an orange sliced handful nuts 12 oz. hot tea
Snack 6 oz. Protein Shake 1/2 c. white steamed rice with 1/4 chicken cutlets(Val)
Dinner 6 oz. chicken breast 1 baked sweet potato 1 c. mixed steamed vegetables (broccoli, squash, zucchini)
Water throughout the day.
Thank you for your advice on increasing protein and decreasing the almond butter and bread!
Overall, we are feeling really great. Sleeping through the night and waking up at 4am has become easier. Friday and Saturday nights are our long days at the brewery. We usually get to bed around 12am on both nights, however, we wake up feeling well-rested and are still able to make Sundays very productive. We were offered pizza (and we LOVE pizza!) Friday evening, but for the first time ever, just the smell alone made our stomachs queasy. (Three weeks ago, we would have craved a bite.)
We purchased The Paleo Diet Cookbook (Loren Cordain, Ph.D) to add more variety to our meals. We are excited to try different dishes and learn where to add more protein in our recipes.
Thank you, Wendy! Alden and Val
