Since last post, people have asked me what I eat on a low FODMAP “diet”. I know it can feel pretty darn overwhelming when you are told to cut out foods that you love like garlic and onions. I rely heavily on whole foods when I can as they just make me feel a whole lot better than packaged foods. BUT, there are some really great convenience products that are my GO-TOs when I am feeling less than inspired. So, for those of you who are food voyeurs and like to see what other people are eating, step inside my pantry 😉
A Typical Day of Eats for Me:
Breakfast:
Breakfast is usually either egg whites with lactose-free cheese (Cabot’s brand cheddar is my favorite!) or 2 dippy eggs, some potatoes I roast in the air fryer, and spring mix with the amazing FODY Maple Dijon dressing. This breakfast is filling and delicious and makes me feel so nourished.
Lunch:
Lunch is usually either grilled chicken (make with just salt and pepper) or lean ground beef or more egg whites. I will pair the protein with either sweet potatoes, quinoa, rice (white or brown) or the FODMAPPED FOR YOU brand Roasted Pumpkin and A Hint of Sage Soup (SO YUMMY!!!).
Dinner:
Dinner is usually more of the same… a protein like chicken, lean beef or sometimes a fish like salmon, shrimp or halibut plus quinoa, sweet or white potatoes, or rice. I love to include a low FODMAP veggie such as green beans, yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, peppers or combine some of them into a salad.
Adding Flavor:
Sometimes when people remove the garlic and onions from their diet they feel like their food is “bland”. Fody sauces and dressings really jazz things up and make you feel like you are eating something special. This post is not at all sponsored – I just REALLY love the product!
Snacks:
Trust me, there is no need to be hungry on a low-FODMAP plan. There are so many great snacks to enjoy to keep you feeling satisfied and nourished. One of my favorite snacks are the GO MACRO bars. The peanut butter is my favorite but if you are a bar person, go to their website and grab one of their low-FODMAP variety packs.
Another great snack is Lactose Free yogurt (Green Valley is the BEST!) and sprouted brown rice crisps. I add a little stevia to sweeten it so it tastes a little more like a treat. The creaminess of the yogurt combined with the crunch of the crisps is just heaven.
