Aversions
1)Some foods I do not eat because they leave a bad "after taste" that is intolerable to the point of nausea like crackers, melons, oranges.
2) I'm not a fan of meat because of the texture. I can tolerate chicken and fish but I found myself always spiting out bits that I cannot manage to completely chew and swallow.
3) I like the taste of cheese and yogurt but the mucus dairy creates for me is also intolerable to the point of nausea
Below is an example of what I usually eat in a day. I eat about 6 times a day. I usually eat a lot since most of the foods I eat are low calorie fruits and veggies.\
What I Ate yesterday
Breakfast: 2 eggs and a green smoothie ( banana, mango, spinach, almond milk, flax seed)
Snack 1:a mini cucumber and some baby carrots w/ italian dressing & dried fruit
Lunch: Large salad ( spring mix, tomatoes, to eggs, italian dressing, croutons)
Snack 2: a mango and some mixed nuts
Dinner: A large sweet potato and broccoli.
Snack 3:a veggie sandwich my father in law brought me ( whole wheat bread, grilled squash, carrots and bell peppers)
I feel good eating this way because I know I am not lacking any nutrients like B12(a small amount in eggs), calcium since (almond milk,greens and nuts), I get plenty of good fats (eggs and nuts). I eat plenty of broccoli for folate. I also take my prenatal vitamins which have all of these nutrients
* My husband and son ate a variation of what I did. For them I prepared chicken for a wrap at lunch and honey mustard chicken for dinner. To make it easier on myself we eat a cold breakfast and lunch and I cook dinner.
It took some thinking but I was glad to find a way to eat well and eat what I like despite food
aversions.

I was so happy my dad came to visit for Christmas! It has been over a year since I seen him
