GERD Elimination Diet – Day 8

Breakfast

Oats with oat milk, cashew butter, cinnamon, vanilla and raspberries. About 350 calories.

Lunch

Leftover turkey meatballs, quinoa and vegetables. About 430 calories.

Dinner

I made chicken soup with chicken thighs (boneless and skinless), carrot, celery, cannellini beans and ginger. The base was chicken stock with a bit of turmeric and I used olive oil to cook the chicken and vegetables. Technically chicken stock, to me, is on the edge of what’s allowed. It’s made with onion after all. But I decided it would be safe enough.

This soup was actually really delicious. Would it have been better with garlic and onion? Sure. But I was pretty happy to eat it and now I have leftovers for the next few days.

One serving is nearly 400 calories.

Snack

Pistachios and fruit, about 220 calories.

Macros

According to the Fitbit app, my split was 37% carbs, 43% fat and 20% protein. I ate nearly 1400 calories. Energy levels were good, and I didn’t feel too full all the time like I have been for the last few days. The fat percentage is probably higher than it should be and some of that should go to protein. But since I feel good I’m not too worried about it.
