@ithandi I hear ya! I am still trying to get food into me before 10am! Be careful with matcha, it can be an irritant when you are already struggling with nausea. A good sourdough bread with nut butter can give you some energy nutrients in the morning and try citrus. Be careful with eating 2 bananas, they "bind" you up! 😊. Not a big fan of tracking macro tracking, just keep your veggies flowimg and always a good source of protein. You need to keep your nutrient intake accessible because of your busy schedule as you already know. Protein shake will get you started but have nuts/seeds, nut butters, rice cakes, cut up veggies and hummus, anything that you can prep to take with you to snack on every 3 hrs. Protein is key! You probably know all of this. 🥰

@jarjam1 yes my gut health is complicated. I had sever damage to my intestines after my first child due to a bacterial infection and being in the hospital. So I love fermented foods. Miso soup is my favourite. Trying to get into kimchi haha I’ve been eating fermented coconut milk probiotics lately as well.

@jarjam1 the more fermented foods the better to get a good dose of natural probiotics but introduce them slowly. Your gut needs to get balanced!

@ithandi I alsi think kombucha can help settle down your tummy. More fermented foods such as saierkraut, kimchi, etc. is key to help getting your gut health more balanced. I do lots of fermenting! I have been making my own for 7 years. Great for the bowels too. T Total bummer on your allergy to tree nuts. 😢

@jarjam1 well I’m learning!! I find food is the thing I know the least about. Which is why I thought.. well maybe I should start tracking my macros just to see and experiment if it would work for me. So I appreciate your insight on it. I’m also a vegetarian who has become allergic to nuts :( … still trying to figure it out but I suddenly started having anaphylactic episodes .. and the only common thing was tree nuts. I can eat peanut butter tho! And pistachios… but I’ve been nervous around anything else. I used to eat almonds daily and had to cut that out of my diet as well. I can eat seeds and try to as much as possible. Thanks for the tip about matcha… it has replaced coffee for me because that was starting to make me a little sick in the mornings. Didn’t know about bananas binding you up! Good to know. Am about to pack a fully loaded snack bag before I head out 🙏🏽 Appreciate your comments ✨
