Recently diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, so still learning what my staples are. But eggs, strawberries, and grapes have become a pretty regular eat.
Beans and grains! Usually a combo of brown rice, oats, and other whole grains. I also top with some form of hot sauce, fermented vegetables, onion, and seeds for extra nutrition. Basically my daily lunch.
I drink an espresso in the morning, and then coffee or tea throughout the day, and usually a green smoothie of some sort and fruits for snacks.
Dinner varies frequently.
Eggs are great but the us is back to a shortage bc of the bird flu
I stopped buying eggs the first time this happened and i stopped buying eggs again bc of this. Its like 8 dollars for a dozen...
EGG.
(-protein has one of the highest bio available properties and I think most, if not all trace nutrients essential for human body excluding vitamin C)
Eating EGGs plus a vitamin c source is very fucking healthy.
I wish I could eat eggs. They absolutely wreck my stomach. Pretty sure that I am allergic.
Chickpeas, tofu and chicken are often recurring on our cooking, along with rice, potatoes and sweet potatoes.
When eating out my go-to is falafel, with a few different chicken options as second choice.
Black Beans, Yogurt (a truly ungodly amount), rice, cheese, and red lentils. I've been trying to cut back on meat consumption last year, it didn't work perfectly but I've made a dent and reaped some health benefits from it too. I'd highly recommend you all try to get more beans in your diet, I've become quite the evangelist for legumes this year.
Sweet potato, black beans, and peanutbutter (not together lol)
My crockpot pretty much always has some chicken soup. Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, celery, and chicken breast. I eat this a lot for lunch, especially at work in a to go container.
I also eat a smoothie pretty much every day, which I call my fruit soup. Fresh apples and bananas, some frozen fruit usually berries mangoes or peaches, fresh greens either spinach or kale, honey, mushroom blend powder, beetroot powder, turmeric powder, vanilla or chocolate flavored protein powder, Greek style yogurt, and probiotic kefir. I make a blenderfull and fill three or four shaker bottles, they last as long as I dont skip days.
I dont always eat breakfast but usually oatmeal with maple syrup and brown sugar or cold cereal. Sometimes just a banana or a muffin.
Sandwiches, I always have bread and meat and cheese and mustard and mayo and almond butter and jelly. And lately frozen sausage patties, sometimes for breakfast sandwiches. Sometimes I just eat sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, unwiches.
Sheperds pie casserole. I always have a box or two of instant potato flakes, some canned veggies, and frozen beef. Layer of potatoes, browned meat, canned veggies (I like corn green beans and saurkraut) and sometimes cheese, then another layer of potato, throw it in the oven. I buy plain potato flakes and season them myself. It's all non perishable and quick, easy and hearty.
This and a variety of burritos from the place near my work (when my boss is buying) is probably 90% of what I eat.
...multi-whole-grain sourdough and way more dairy than i should be eating...
My partner is a chef and fermenter, so it's really hard to keep a food routine because she endlessly chases novelty. That said, when the need for novelty is low, we split evenly between rice, pasta and potatoes for carbs (she's Chinese, I'm Italian, we live in Germany so...). Proteins are eggs and tofu as staple. White beans and chickpeas are less common. A rotation of different cuts of meat on top. Fish here is expensive and bad, but we always have a can of sardines or tuna. Often we buy a whole chicken for the week to do a roast, a fried rice and a pot of stock for the week. Vegetables and fruit are the things we rotate the most because they are all equally bad.
