Daily Food Diary – Day 90 of 365

It’s been 90 days – THREE FULL MONTHS since I started my Daily Food Diary and began posting it on here.🎊

In March, I have been tracking and noting my protein consumption.  I am surprised that I not only meet, but often surpass, the daily recommended amount of protein.  From what I have read, too much protein can cause digestive issues.  Since I seldom have digestive issues since I quit eating yeast, I am not really concerned.  I think that between my lung issues and my genetic collagen issues, chances are I just use/need more protein in my diet.  If an issue ever shows up on my routine blood work, I may have to revisit that thought.

Last night we rounded off the month with a meal to a local Buffet Palace.  It is hardly fine dining, but good, basic food – and one restaurant where I can avoid yeast quite easily.  

Today starts a new month and a new focus.  For April I am going to track my SALT and SUGAR consumption.  This one’s going to hurt.  I love both and I know neither are good for anyone – especially anyone with multiple lung conditions that cause mucus issues. 😢
