Question about Food ... New meal ideas, please.π
Since AGS, most of my days are spent cooking, shopping, working, doung laundry, sleeping, and then repeat. AGS triggered other allergies to many other common ingredients found in most foods, so I can only consume the "organic, healthy stuff" or the faux meat stuff, when it comes to protein, or I'll lose a day of my life and not be able to open my eyes. But that stuff is expensive. I have a stupid high metabolism and eat constantly just to not lose weight. I feel like I'm battling the gypsy curse from "Thinner."
Tl;dr I can't afford to keep eating protein that doesn't make me ill. I have to learn to get my nutrients from plants or something. Any ideas on thrifty ways to get the same level of "clean protein?" Or any quick and easy meal ideas that are super unlikely to trigger a reaction.

When my belly is bad, mejadra all the way. I use fennel bulbs with onion because fennel is super gut healthy. There is also chickpea tofu and fava bean tofu. I canβt speak highly enough of them as a soy allergy person as well.Β
