What did you eat today

Have to change my diet somewhat due to my pancreas deciding it wants me to F off and stop eating good fats. Even avocados, olive oil, cream in coffee, etc. was causing pain.
Anyway breakfast was:
2 glasses of water, 2 cups of coffee with 1% milk, 2 whole eggs, one banana, 1 cup oatmeal, 45 grams vega sport protein, and 1/2 cup blueberries.

Ok try this. It’s kinda gross, but edible.
2/3 cup of minute oats, 1 scoop of vanilla protien powder, 400 ml of water. I use a mixing cup. Then microwave for a minute so it warm but not too hot. Stir the gruel with a fork before microwaving or you’ll get lumps.
Anyhow stir as you drink to keep the oats suspended.

you can add a bit of cinnomen if you want.

Its not great, but I’ve drank it for breakfast for 4 years. Sometimes for dinner, lol.

Morning - like @Sorbate said I too use the quick oats (Quaker I think). Are you putting the protein powder in? I like the Mocha flavored Vega Sport protein. That is what gives it the flavor and protein.
The recipe Sorbate lists is similar to what I have and few eggs in the morning but I also add in frozen berries and a few tablespoons of raw nuts for antioxidants and flavor.
 
2 cups of coffee with 1 % milk, 2 glasses of water with a tablespoon of ACV, 1 whole egg, 4 oz lean steak, 1/2 cup oatmeal, 22 grams of protein (Vega sport) with 1/2 cup of blueberries.

662 cals / 38 grams carbs / 18 grams fat / 80 grams protein

@Sorbate - I have been advised to cut down on meats that are high in fat. I looked up the macros on several different steaks but considering you do it for a living - what steak would you recommend for low fat and good flavor? It is most often the fattier cuts that taste the best but it isn't worth the pain. I eat a lot of fish but can't imagine a life without steak.

Striplion or top sirloin.
What you read online can be misleading, they are giving you what 'they' supposedly tested.
Beef comes in varying levels of fat.
Single A beef is very lean while AAA beef is a lot fattier.
This is where the whole grass fed argument comes in. They say grass fed is better, but its likely because its leaner like single A when they try and compare it to AAA to make the AAA look fatty and low on certain nutrients. All cows eat grass except the last 21 or so days.

So I recommend to buy Top Sirloin or Striploin because they are normally leaner and then look at the steak, and if you don't see internal marbling then its lean, lol.

Roasts you want rump, sirloin tip or top sirloin.

Why no fatty meats?

I have been using top sirloin as it has very little fat in it and it tastes pretty good (didn't know that about A vs AAA - thank you. I have to cut down my fat intake for a while because my pancreas was pissed at me and causing considerable stomach pain and a few other symptoms. I fasted a day, then a day of blan foods and then incorporate my regulars back in slowly and it was gone in 3 days. I had a steak sandwich for lunch yesterday and top sirloin with plain rice last night - so far no issues.
Chicken and fish are fine but nothing compares to a good steak.

Its trial and error with a log to figure out what is triggering it.

There is some pancreas pills you can take that may help. I’ll ask a buddy what the name is. It OTC. He had bad issues with his.

Please do and thank you. I am doing much better but had to change my diet. I would rely on fats for energy when I kept carbs low but that ship has sailed. I quit dairy completely except for 1% milk in my coffee in the morning. Not a big deal but still annoying.

Ok
Pancreatin is what it’s called. I guess you can buy it from health food stores.
‘Now are you getting pain? Get the shits all the time.
See with him eventually they had to put a stint in to the duct from his pancreas. They don’t normally use a stint, but it’s working. Thing is though they need to replace it every 5 months or it will just grow over and the issue will come back.
I guess this ocured because of a screw up when they removed his gall bladder. Then one day he took anAdrol and it flared it and that was it.
I guess at first though the pills helped.
