I've been eating Peaty for 1.5 years (was working with practitioner). I feel better when I eat around 100 grams of protein per day. But I am intolerant to so many proteins, I can't get to 100 grams (or even 80 sometimes). Looking for ideas. Here is a breakdown of the proteins and my issues with them:
-Dairy- tried to start slow and increase many times- just can't tolerate (acne, gas, sinus probs)
-Gelatin- if I eat more than about 1 tsp per day I have digestive issues- also tried starting slow and increasing - doesn't work
-eggs- I can only eat a serving once every 3 days or so
-Broth- I was drinking up to 10 cups a day at one point, but I think it's way too much liquid for my body to handle. A couple cups a day isn't that much protein
-white fish/shellfish- I was doing ok with these when I first started. But because they're my only protein source, I was eating them every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I think I ate them too often and now I'm intolerant/allergic to many- they often come up on me. And having to eat white fish for every meal makes me not want to swallow it any more.
-I tried making potato protein once, and it was a horrible mess. I'll try again-- but anyone know how many grams of protein in the potato juice? Can't imagine it will be enough to make up for my protein deficit.
-I eat liver 1-2x per week. I've had to start eating chicken and beef more to get protein.
Any ideas? It seems before someone's metabolism is healed, it would be easy to become allergic/intolerant to proteins eaten day after day. Once my metabolism is healed I can imagine being able to add some of these back in. But in the meantime, I don't know what to eat for protein.
Anyone have ideas or come across this situation?
Thanks!
