Healthy(ish) hangover food?!

That question almost seems like an oxymoron. I've never in my life recovered from a hangover by eating healthy food, lol.

You need to hydrate. Alcohol dehydrates you. Also, one of the things your body produces to process the alcohol is acetaldehyde and then some other enzymes are released to combat the acetaldehyde because it is a toxin. The problem is, there is a limited supply of the other enzymes and when you drink too much, it runs out, leaving you with this acetaldehyde that makes you feel ill.

Plenty of water, and replenishing sodium and potassium, and vitamins is important. V8 juice is a really good option and bananas. Eggs are good too because they have a substance that helps break down the acetaldehyde.

That egg white delite mcmuffin is pretty good.

Okay, let's talk safe drinking. Before you drink, make sure you are hydrated. I mean well hydrated drink a glass of water every thirty minutes until you pee every thirty minutes and it is clear. Then be careful what you drink it is really east to blow your calorie cap. If you drink liquor you may fair better, but not mixing rum and coke, the coke kills you might as well just drink beer. Low carb beer is still high in calories. Lastly. Before you go to bed, atop drinking about thirty minutes to an hour ahead. Drink water as much as you comfortably can before you go to bed. Every 3 or 4 hours get up and drink water. Most of you are asking why water instead of pedialyte or Gatorade. It is simple. All consumable alcoholic beverages consist of ethanol. Ethanol displaces water. That's why you pee so much when you drink. Not because you have a high fluid intake, because the ethanol is pushing the water out of your body. Now if you have a pot of salty water , like in your body, and you boil the water off, where does the salt go? Nowhere it stays right there in the pot. So loading up on pedialyte and Gatorade is bad you are adding fluid but not fixing the electrolyte imbalance, which is probably 40% of the problem. Someone mentioned B vitamins, that is not a bad idea, however I would take them morning after, because they will most likely be useless when there isn't a medium to transport them. So in summation drink water before, drink water during, drink water after, and take a few Tylenol or ibuprofen and maybe a SMALL Gatorade. To replenish what you lost through sweating if you were really partying hard.

Lots of liquids. Eggs and bacon.

I actually find the best way to get rid of it is to drink a lot of water and get up and move around. Working out while hungover sucks, but I generally feel better after I sweat it out.

Coconut water!
Runny eggs and toast.
Green smoothies (extra banana).
And of course tons of regular water.

Just want to point out that having a Coke with or without rum will not kill you. [unless you have gallons and gallons of rum (or any other alcoholic beverage) and get alcohol poisoning]

ETA: OP glad you are feeling better.

Scrambled eggs with chopped up back bacon, loads of vegetables and chillies/chilli sauce. Full of protein, fibre, vitamins and minerals to get you back on an even keel!

When I'm hungover, I usually don't want to eat and if I do it's just soups, oatmeal, quinoa with brussels sprouts, peanut butter, etc.

I'd say to just eat what sounds appealing, try to work it into your calories and macros, and get back on track tomorrow.

a mini milk (that's one for the UK mfp people)

I do what I call the hangover mile. I strap on my shoes and run till my sweat stops smelling like booze. Then I drink like a gallon of water, take a B vitamin and go about my day. It works well.

This is effective. Also, be aware that alcohol has to be metabolized or eliminated; it doesn't convert to fat. That's why you see those skinny washed out drunks; they may consume way more than TDEE in calories most days but not enough of it is food. So the more you can eliminate before you start eating the better.
