Day 7 of 30- Salmon patties

It's been a week!  How do you feel?  I feel tired and hungry :-(  Today was a largely meat free day.  And I think a combination of ultra mega yoga yesterday + stressful day today + meager meatless meals has made me hangry. I realized I'm doing my eating wrong-- especially with my workouts. 

The idea for active individuals is to keep you fueled for performance and recovery without weighing you down with a huge meal before your exercises.

Preworkout: a small protein dense snack should be consumed anywhere from an hour and 15 min, to 15 min before your workout.  *this.  i have not been doing.  fail on my part.

Postworkout:  protein dense and starchy vegetable (like sweet potato) meal 15-30 min after you work out.  *this.... i probably also failed to do.

I think I should plan this a little better so that next time, I'm prepared.

Salmon patty

Ingredients

Canned salmon (remove juices and all bones as necessary)
1 egg
handful of finely chopped onion
dill
cayenne
black pepper
garlic powder


1.  Mash all together, mixing the egg in completely, making sure that the salmon pieces are broken up and evenly mixed
2.  Scoop a handful of salmon mix and pack into a ball, pat down to about 1" thick on a flat surface
3.  Fry up on a skillet and eat with fantastic brussels sprouts

chop onion, quarter brussels sprouts, sautee with some ghee and salt and pepper.  when cooked to satisfaction, add a splash of vinegar and eat with salmon patty.

My first patty did NOT hold together well so it became a crumbled mash of deliciousness.  the other patty.... i'm eating it for lunch with my pretty awesome broccoli salad.  Helloooooooooooooo mayo!
