Appetite is basically gone today and I'm struggling to hit protein without feeling queasy. What are your go-to meals?
Need a protein idea for right now, appetite is gone
Greek yogurt with a scoop of unflavored whey stirred in is what I fall back on when food sounds awful.
Cold cottage cheese with a little salt is my go-to when even a shake feels too thick, it goes down slow but it stays down.
Cottage cheese with a little everything bagel seasoning is my go-to when nothing sounds good. Cold, salty, and goes down slow enough that it doesnt wreck me
Cottage cheese with a little everything bagel seasoning has been my move lately, cold and soft so it goes down slow without the queasy feeling. Curious whether you're mostly avoiding savory stuff or is it everything right now?
What about cottage cheese blended smooth? I can get a few spoonfuls down even on the flat days when chewing feels like a chore.
Cottage cheese straight from the tub has been my lazy fallback, cold and mild enough that it doesnt set off the queasy thing for me
Cottage cheese with a little everything bagel seasoning has been my move on those days. Salty enough that I actually want to finish it even when nothing sounds good.
Cold cottage cheese with a little salt on top is my default when nothing sounds good, it goes down slow but it stays down
Cold is the only thing that works for me too. I keep a shaker bottle of vanilla protein in the fridge and just sip a little at a time instead of pouring a full glass
What worked for me was plain greek yogurt thinned out with a splash of milk so it goes down more like a drink. Savory beats sweet for me when my stomach is off
Have you tried bone broth? It's the only thing I can sip when my stomach turns, and it's got a decent hit of protein without any sweetness to trip the queasy thing.
honestly, what about cottage cheese blended smooth with a little broth? Sounds odd but it goes down like soup and the texture disappears.
Cold skim milk with a scoop of unflavored whey stirred in has been my fallback on days like that, goes down like a glass of milk and no chalky aftertaste
Does the smell of protein powder set you off too? I can do a shake if it's cold and flavorless but the vanilla ones get me every time lately.
Does the cold-versus-warm thing hold for you across the board? I ask because a cold shake sits fine with me but a warm egg turns my stomach every time
How cold does the Core Power need to be? I tried one at room temp and it tasted so chalky I almost gave up on it.
idk, do you find the cold stuff sits better because of temperature or just because it's thinner? I'm at 2mg and still figuring out which textures my stomach will tolerate on the flat days.
Have you tried plain greek yogurt thinned with a little milk? Goes down cold and slow for me when nothing else sits right
Do you find the cold thing helps more than the taste, or is it mostly about temperature on those days? My queasy days are all about smells, so even a shake gets rough if the flavor is too sweet.
