GERD Elimination Diet – Day 21

Breakfast

Oats with almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla and cashew butter with mango on the side. About 400 calories (different almond milk brand).

Lunch

A sad tuna salad. Sad because I couldn’t add anything creamy to it. It was just canned tuna, olive oil, lettuce, celery, parsley and dill. About 220 calories.

Dinner

A different kind of turkey burger, this time with parsley and spinach. I ate it with brown rice, Brussels sprouts and carrot. About 370 calories.

Snack

An apple, about 80 calories.

Macros

According to the Fitbit app, my split today was 44% carbs, 32% fat and 24% protein, and I ate nearly 1100 calories. I didn’t need as much food today since Sundays are my rest day and the only exercise I do is some light yoga and sometimes an easy walk. But I’d still like to be eating more.

Final Thoughts

I’m sitting here realizing that I have almost no heartburn right now. It starts an hour or so after eating and persists for a few hours, and I usually still feel it from dinner by the time I go to bed, despite eating at least 3 hours before. So this is a bonus!

Tomorrow I’ll post about the reintroduction phase of the elimination diet, which I’ll be starting. I’m super excited to be able to eat eggs tomorrow!
