GERD Elimination Diet – Day 78

Breakfast

I did something I have wanted to try for a while, and that was make a breakfast casserole. I read a few recipes online and then made up my own from there. It turned out really well!

I used sausages, broccoli, potato, onion, cheese, eggs and a little heavy cream, with parsley and salt (no pepper as although I can have spicy food today and tomorrow, I can’t for the next two days and this will feed me for breakfast all week).

I browned the sausages first, microwaved the diced potato so it was par-cooked and cooked the onions before adding to the baking dish. Then I just added everything else and put it in the oven. It took about half an hour to cook.

One serving of this came to nearly 500 calories and was delicious!

I portioned and froze half of it so I’ll see how well it holds up later in the week.

Lunch

I made a salad out of leftover roasted potato, chicken breast, lettuce, cucumber and carrot, with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Dinner

I made shawarma using this recipe. I’ve made it before and it’s easy and delicious, and as a bonus my husband even eats it! Usually, I’d make a salad with cucumber, tomato and red onion to go with it but since I can’t have tomato or raw onion right now I just put lettuce and cucumber on the tortillas with the chicken and yogurt sauce. Yes, I used tortillas, which work fine, but usually I make flatbread from scratch. We just have a lot of tortillas that need to be used so I thought we’d use them instead.

Two tortillas worth of shawarma was about 550 calories.

Snack

Strawberries, about 60 calories.

Macros

According to the Fitbit app, my split today was 30% carbs, 40% fat and 30% protein and I ate about 1440 calories.
