Well, I over did it last night. 6 glasses of wine :blushing: and of course now I'm starving. Already had 1/2 cup of coffee, and my left over crab cake. I guess this is ONE reason it is so terrible to drink. BUT what are the best hangover foods that are not terribly bad for you???? Please don't judge :drinker: LOL Thanks.

Have a banana, it has potassium in it which is meant to be good for a hangover. Hope you feel better soon.0

I'm sure I read somewhere that you should eat fruits and nuts when hungover, as that will ultimately make you feel better than what you are actually craving (foods high in fat and carbs). And drink LOADS of water.0

i always crave cheese on toast when i'm hungover! you could make that more healthy by using wholemeal bread and only having a very thin layer of cheese
fruit smoothies are also good, get your energy up with good sugar rather than bad sugar!0 -
chicken soup always works for me :-)0

I agree with the banana, I would do a nice vanilla protein shake with a couple strawberries and a banana.0

Hair o' the dog that bit ya?0

For me it has to be a cooked breakfast.
I just had a scrambled medium egg- approx 100 kcal, 3 rashers bacon medallions (18kcal each) and 2 pieces toast (weightwatchers 50kcal each) and a big squirt of tomato ketchup. Perfect hangover food for only 250kcal.0 -
Toast, V8 and a multivitamin. (normally I'd go for a bacon egg and cheese biscuit, but I don't think that fits your criteria. )0
-
Banana, a vitamin water and just continue to drink water all day long. Whatever you do don't take asprin or anything like that because it completely ruins your liver after drinking0

I'm not aware of any healthy hangover foods. The greasier the better always worked for me!0

tomato soup, filling and yummy at the same time :-) thats my plan for tomorrow after my wine tonight0

I feel for you. This happened to me last Friday night. (Tequila) On Saturday and Sunday and I couldn't stop eating as I felt sooooooooo bad. When I weighed in, my food fiesta set me back 4 lbs. UGH!!!! Well today is Friday..one week later...and I am back on track. This week I just stayed diligent about eating healthy and staying within my calorie goal...stepped it up on excersise a bit...and got some good sleep.
I say "hang" in there. If you have to eat a little more to offset the "feel bads"...just try to eat something filling and low calorie...triscuits and cheddar cheese, yogurt, whole wheat bagel....LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER. Stay within your dietary guidelines so that you don't have a "carbohydrate and fat hangover" and then end up craving more of the bad stuff after your "wine hangover" is subsided.
Just don't beat yourself up about it. Treat it like you would having a forbidden dessert. Every once in a while we need and deserve to indulge. We just have to cut back back for the next few days to offset the difference.0 -
Big Mac!!!!!!!!:bigsmile:0
-
McDonald's McMuffin. Under 300 calories and just enough grease to do the job.0
-
Hydrate. That always helps me. Water, powerade, gatorade....0
-
Unsweetened Coconut Water......has the potassium of over 10 bananas, and more electrolytes then Gatorade could even wish it had. All grocery stores sell it, usually Goya brand, and it is in a steel can. and very good!!
or just buy a young coconut (not ripe), and drink the water out of it.
Google it, if you don't believe me. :-)

Good Luck0 -
Big mac, fries and a large coke with an apple pie.0
-
Banana, toast, V8 and a multivit! Water water water, alcohol dehydrates you and throws your body out of balance.0
-
Bacon, eggs and toast...Bacon's not too bad, you could use Egg Beaters and have whole wheat toast.
I feel your "pain"...I have given up alcohol quite a bit since I began my journey and now, when I do have a few, it doesn't take much!0 -
Hangover's are caused by dehydration of the liver (am in medical classes just learnt about this last term lol), when you drink it releases a specific hormone that acts as a diuretic causing you to pee more lol, best thing is to get rehydrated, try sports drinks like gatorade or something like that, they will rebalance your electrolytes and help with rehydration, also, orange juice seems to always help me a LOT when I have a hangover.0
-
That is usually what I want!0

An egg bacon sandwich with cheese works wonders.
I think Whataburger sells Breakfast on a Bun with bacon for something like 460 calories.
Just bad enough, but won't tank you.
Feel better!!!0 -

Coconut water is the liquid inside unripe, green coconuts---not to be confused with coconut milk, which is made by juicing the flesh of a ripe coconut. Coconut milk has 550 calories per cup, most of them coming from fat. Coconut water has 46 calories per cup and no fat and contains essential vitamins, minerals and electrolytes.

Better to not get a hangover in the first place... Here is my hangover prevention protocol...
Before you go to bed, drink as much water as you can. I usually slam about 2 full glasses. Along with that I take 2 or 3 advil. Here's the key.. Drink a 5 hour energy (a multivitamin may work too...Just get some B vitamins). Then eat half a protein bar.
I don't drink that often but when I do I usually will drink 8-10 beers in a night. I never get hangovers if I remember to do what I just posted.0 -
Spicey big bowl of MENUDO! with homony. add in your oregano,diced onion,squeeze of lime and live it up! I love having buttered toasty bolio bread on the side.0

Ouch that's no fun :sick:
As someone mentioned in my experience I havent come across any foods that help with a hangover that are particularly healthy...I rarely feel like eating when I'm hungover...Maybe buttered toast? Like light butter on whole wheat toast?0 -
Shower, bacon butty, can of coke, soluble solpadeine and another hours kip :-))0

A big fat greasy cheeseburger lol0
