Hello,
I'm somewhat new to the THM way of eating and really still trying to get the meal combinations right at the moment. Food allergies make E meals quite tricky, however, with the exercise I do (and love) I'm finding I need more E meals. I was wondering if anyone here does crossfit? If so, would you be willing to share how you personally structure your meals? I'm really more interested in fueling my work outs more so than dropping weight, although, I do have about 15lbs of extra bf I'd like to eventually get rid of. I've read and experienced its best to eat a more carbohydrate focused meal at the end of the day when muscles will soak them up to replenish glycogen stores, however, I don't know that one meal of 45gr carbohydrates is sufficient for my WODs. Would you suggest doing an E meal for lunch *and* dinner? Or just snack and dinner? Just looking for suggestions and experience.
My second question is about E meals specifically. Many of the recipes I find involve egg whites, FF Fage or 0% yogurt, and whey protein of some sort. All of these things I am allergic/sensitive to. Is there a source with recipes that do not include these allergens? I'm used to eating lunch/dinner for breakfast, but since THM allows for more food choices, I'd like to expand my choices if possible. S meals are easy for breakfast as sausage, turkey bacon, leftovers are usually easy S's.
Thanks for for your thoughts!

You have a lot of great questions, and I would like to toss out my two cents regarding the allergies. We often use a flax egg to replace the egg and have found that raw milk products work fine for our middle daughter who is allergic to many foods. We are experimenting with a new wheat free chicken feed - hoping that she will be able to eat our eggs. I am curious to read what others say about your concerns.

Not sure on what fuel types you would want other than just some experimenting to find out what your body needs But maybe for E fuels you can stick some of the soup ideas with lentils, brown rice, quinoa. Fruit and sweet potatoes are great non-dairy options as well
