I fodmap because of IBS but only when i'm in an "episode" when i'm feeling healthy i eat small portions of some of the foods it eliminates .. i hope you will find a balance that works for you...

on a recent cruise i ate what i would eat at home.. and it was a holland america cruise.. excellent food and the served egg whites, turkey bacon.. there were alot of healthy choices. I found the alcohol put a few pounds on me that i worked off when i got home! enjoy!

i tried mixing dry pancake batter with a bit of each of 0% greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce. threw in about a tsp of brown sugar and made pancakes.. so yummy!!!!

hummus is not expensive.. and can go on toast, on crackers or a dip for vegetables, on a salad.. i also find a hard boiled egg gets me through til lunch

i log inwhat i plan to eat before i eat a meal so that i can stick to the portion size and remember how many calories i'm allowing myself... easier than logging AFTER you eat something and realizing you dont have enough left for snacks or supper, etc... its a great app.. enjoy!
