Hi guys,
I would like to start and "get in the zone".
I've done all my readings but I'm still straggling to make my meal plan.
The most difficult is breakfast.
I thought of having some yogurt for breakfast but my yogurt has 4.3 protein and 5.something carbs in 100ml. So in order to get my 3 blocks of protein I would about 490ml of yogurt.That's about 340 calories - just of the yogurt which I don't think will keep me satisfied for very long by itself.
I cannot eat cheese or other dairy because I am lactose intolerant and have endometriosis - the only dairy I allow my self to eat is a little lactose-free yogurt.
Because of my endo I avoid whey and soy protein shakes. I've tried rice protein shake but it is absolutely revolting (I'm not so difficult with taste, but the texture is horrible).
I don't want to eat too many eggs either (again my endo).
So what else is there for protein?
I do each chicken and fish - but those are not very suitable for breakfast.
A few months ago I gave it a try and had tuna with some curcum and black pepper - but I gave up after a few days.
Does any of you have a suitable breakfast suggestion?
Many thanks!!!

Hi, What about Canadian Bacon or Turkey Bacon to boost you P requirements. With fruit & nuts?

I'm not sure... I'll have to check the ingredients. Turkey is fine, but all kinds of E numbers, soy isolates, whey and other things that are usually found in such products are a no-no on the endo diet.
I've never actually had turkey bacon :o~
What would you eat it with? just by it self (and then the fruits and nuts on the side)?
Thanks for your reply!!

The Turkey Bacon is for the Protein.
What you have on the side is your Carbs and Fat.

L, I ment in addition to your lactose free yogurt.

Thanks again for your reply. Actually I was just wondering what KINDS of carbs and fat would go with turkey bacon. But that's ok. I will figure it out.
I have another question though - what about smoked salmon? It would have protein, but also a lot of fat I think. But since this is actually fish oil I thought it might be ok. Any idea of how many protein and/or fat blocks that would be?
(I though it would be a nice breakfast with a rice cracker and some tomato&cucumber).

Fish is generally 1.5 oz per block (7 grams) of Protein.
However, ensure that the salmon is NOT farm raised.
Farm raised has an unhealthy balance of Omega-6's!

Hi John,
thanks for your reply!
I know that 1.5oz fish is normally 1 block. But smoked salmon seem oilier than salmon fillet. Or is it just my imagination?
I love salmon so that can be a very good breakfast solution for me (although a bit pricey).

Looked up a smoked salmon:

Salmon, chinook (king), smoked
1.5 oz:
F = 1.8g ..... .6 blocks
C = 0.5g ..... 0.1 blocks
PF = 7.8g ..... 1.2 blocks
So I wouldn't worry so much,
it has the normal 1.5 blocks of fat associated with lo-fat (good) Protein choices.
So, you would add only 1.5g (of healthy) fat per block of protein.

That's great!!!!
Thank you so much for that!!!

I put this in a blender every morning (7 years now, so I hope it's right) 90g frozen blueberries / 70g frozen strawberries / 50g frozen rasberries / 1 scoop protein powder (vitamin shoppe soy w/polyphenols) / 120g fat free plain yogurt / 240g skim milk / 12g almonds
