GERD Elimination Diet – Day 11

Breakfast

Oats, almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, cashew butter, with an apple on the side. My verdict on almond milk is that it’s sad. There’s no particular flavor that I don’t like, it just isn’t as good as the oat milk, so it makes me kind of sad.

This was about 350 calories.

Lunch

I made amazing lamb meatballs! All I added to the meat was some oregano and salt, then I baked them in the oven. I’m surprised they came out so good, but then again I love lamb and rarely get to eat it so maybe I had some kind of flavor bias going on. Is that a thing?

In Australia, lamb was easier to come by. Over here the cuts are often weird and it’s usually expensive, and my husband doesn’t even like it so that’s why I rarely have it.

I also ate some brown rice, carrots and Brussels sprouts. This was about 430 calories.

Dinner

Baked mahi mahi, carrots, zucchini, summer squash, brown rice. Nearly 300 calories.

Macros

According to the Fitbit app my split today was 43% carbs, 35% fat and 22% protein. I ate under 1100 calories, which definitely doesn’t seem enough but I really wasn’t hungry for a snack this afternoon.

At least I am getting hungry now. I was starving for lunch, but I also worked out for an hour beforehand so that likely contributed. I was hungry for dinner too, though not early enough that I needed a snack.

I’m still having some heartburn, which I can expect to last another week or so from what I have read about proton pump inhibitor rebound. I hope it goes away sooner rather than later.
