I need to find a replacement for eggs and bananas.
Why?
I think I’m developing an allergy to both of them
-For I don’t know how long, I’ve been eating both for breakfast nearly every breakfast. Now (no matter how I prepare them), they make me feel sick. Even when I throw a banana in a protein shake.
-sick defined as feeling naseaus and sluggish
What I like about eggs (nutritionally)
-source of cholesterol
-good fats
-high protein
-very cheap
What I like about bananas
-carb source
-potassium
-fiber
-cheap
I’ve been doing some thinking and I can’t think of any other foods that have all or most of these qualities. If someone can clue me in, I’d be very appeciative. Cheap is very important.
I actually have trouble digesting eggs. I’m not a big fan…but the other day I tried a breakfast burrito…and it tasted pretty damn good but still after a few bites I started feeling sick to my stomach with no hope of forcing it.
Cantaloupe has more potassium than banana does. Don’t beans have a lot of potassium too? What about a breakfast burrito with beans, cheese, avocado, and maybe some diced chicken breast.

Sounds delicious, but for every morning it would get a bit pricey (avocodo and chicken). I’ll definately give that a try on occassion.

off topic:
common misconseption but when you are feeling sick you dont get naseaus you get nauseated
and if it is contagious then you are also naseaus but the feeling of being sick is still described as nauseated…
When I eat bananas I get very nauseous and have even thrown up. I read on wikipedia that there is a relationship between banana and avocado allergies, i.e. if you are allergic to one you are probably allergic to the other, and I have thrown up after eating avocados so I don’t doubt the theory.
Supposedly, you are supposed to be allergic to latex too if you are allergic to bananas and avocados, but latex has never bothered my skin. I haven’t tried eating it though.
