What i eat in a day - Day 2

It’s day 1 of my menstrual cycle 🩸🥲.

Im trying to adopt the 80/20 method cause i feel it is important during this cycle that I eat as nutritiously as possible.

So 80% beneficial food 20% happy food

Do you think i did well today?

Breakfast overview:

I know during my menstrual cycle I need to eat more iron-rich protein so we’re starting off the day with my favourite cottage cheese omelette.

[Cottage cheese omelette]

- 2 important ingredients -

🥚 & cottage cheese

- 3 variable ingredients -

oil (veg oil, olive oil, butter etc), protein & greens

- Optional -

Salt, pepper, condiments (tabasco, ketchup etc)

1️⃣ Sauté your protein and veggie of choice with olive oil

I did 🦃 ham & 🧅.

You can use 🥓🥩🍤🫑🥦🥬….basically whatever

2️⃣ Mix 3 eggs with 2tbs cottage cheese in a bowl.

3️⃣ Pour into your pan with the sautéed items and cover

till egg is cooked to your liking. Fold and you’re done!

During this cycle when my hormones gets out of balance i like to introduce the hormone balancing carrot salad to at least one meal daily.

[Hormone balancing raw carrot salad]

Just 5 ingredients!

🥕, 🍎 cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt & pepper

1️⃣ Peel a bunch of carrots. Remember to discard the first

layer. We want a pile of peeled carrots.

2️⃣ Mix peeled carrots to the remaining 4 ingredients.

There is no exact measurement but remember to use

more acv than evoo. Season to your liking. Done ☑️

✨Benefits of eating raw carrot salad✨

Carrots contains a unique fibre that binds extra estrogen in the body and eliminates toxins which is beneficial for gut and hormone health. It also cleans out the small intestine so the waste doesn’t create endotoxins.

Happy gut, happy hormones = happy you!

Added pancake to make me happy. Kimchi for my morning probiotics and mango for extra fibre + something sweet to pair with the pancake.

Lunch overview:

Honestly this takes a bulk or more of my 20% happy food allocation. But i tried making some adjustments. Egg was pan fried without oil, i had half a cup of rice, sambal prawns and chicken wings for protein albeit it being a fattening option. I can only say #tryingtodobetter .

Dinner Overview:

Very basic. The only greens i had today besides the

celery juice in the morning 🫢

Total water intake for the day: 2 litres
