I’m trying to improve my breakfest generally, and I heard that these are some of the best of what’s already popular to eat for health. How should these be ate, together or separate?

    You should only mix them during a waxing cresent, otherwise stick to just one. Also you should avoid eggs on tuesday and wednesday unless it’s still before the 10th of the month except in August, there it doesn’t matter.

    You’re overthinking this. A balanced diet means you eat a variety of nutritious foods, you don’t have to eat it all at once. Oats one morning and eggs the next is fine.

      If I eat extremely healthily on one day then I can eat like shit the rest of the week. That’s science.

    I don’t think oats and eggs interact with each other in any beneficial or disadvantageous way. Just eat what you can when you want.

    In nutritional sense it makes zero difference. It really comes down to the average of what your eating over time. If you eat 14k cals on Monday and ~350cals each day the rest of the week it’s the same as eating ~2300 cals a day. Human body is extremely efficient. It will digest everything you put in. This is extreme example but it really just boils down to cals in vs cals out and getting micro nutrients by eating non processed colorful foods

        Yes, actually. You could. I used to hang out on the intermittent fasting subreddit and yes there was a weekly eater. He was trying to lose weight though, I am not sure you can eat one day a week and maintain your weight. Several people only ate every other day too. So like Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

        Yup. That’d be a bit extreme and you’d have to stay hydrated through out the week. Would probably require some electrolytes an some other minerals in the week but eating once a week would be doable

      just a preference of eating them seperately on the same day together if it is healthy vs on different days

        The healthiest choice is the one you will eat. It’s more work to cook both each morning than to alternate, and in the long run it doesn’t matter. That said, they both have iron and protein but oats have fiber, so on egg days have something at lunch like an apple or salad, to help you poop, or put your egg on wholemeal toast. On oat days have fewer carbs. It’s a lot easier to balance your nutrients over a whole day or a couple of days than each meal.

        Preference is one thing but what does that have to do with being healthy? Not trying to make fun of it, just trying to understand the idea behind it.

          Poor food combinations can give you gas/bloating, indigestion, fatigue. Good food combinations work together and can help with the uptake of certain nutrients.

            I’ve never thought about that and just now read about it a little more. Interesting. Would make my day to day life too complicated if I would try to consider that into my meal planning as well though.

            Edit: Reading more into it, it seems bogus.

              It doesn’t have to be strict. Some people make too big of a deal out of it. Most of us are used to eating in certain combinations anyways and our bodies have adjusted. One small example that you’ve probably heard, turmeric’s beneficial components are more bioavailable when eaten with black pepper. The body digests foods in varying ideal circumstances depending on what it is. Ultimately, you’ll probably be just fine eating a varied diet, but there are combinations that are better or worse for nutrient uptake, gastric comfort, blood sugar spikes, etc.

        In terms of health, it doesn’t matter I don’t think. You’re not going to be deficient in an important nutrient by going a day from eating it (but weeks or months is another story)

        So I think if you don’t want to eat them at the same time, you could just eat more of each on alternating days?

        Unless I misunderstood the question

    The difference between a dietician and a nutritionist is the same as the difference between a dentist and a toothologist.

    I’m a certified toothologist, I’ll rip any teeth out you want for $20.

    Look up books and info on food combining. Some foods interfere with the digestion of other foods while some help, as you probably know.

    if you enjoy eating them together, and they don’t “disagree” with one another later, moderation is the key. half the portion (that you’d otherwise have on their own) of each.

    I like to eat things that the bacteria in my gut like, you should look into it. Apparently those guys have a lot of surprising influence on our health.

    If you’re looking for things to avoid because it can cause gastric problems, you’re looking for foods that should not be combined.

    And yes carbs and animal protein are top of the list (and also one of the most common digestive mistakes people make)

    https://www.stylecraze.com/articles/dangerous-food-combinations-to-avoid/

    From the article:

    When you eat a combination of carbohydrate or starch and lean protein (such as meat with potatoes or bread) they counteract each other: the animal protein putrefiesi and the carbohydrate (complex carb or simple carb) ferments. This bad combination leads to gas, bloating and flatulencei (1). Those who have eaten this combination in their diet for years may have developed immunity, but it is better to eat complementary combinations like beans and rice which is a good combination.

      Mixing several types of food such as meat with cheese and fruits with yogurt is a common and popular practice. But what several nutritionists and Ayurvedics claim is that there are certain food combinations that can obstruct digestive channels and inhibit your body from gaining essential nutrients. In this article, we explore the top 10 food combinations to avoid in your diet.

      Are there any posts that don’t focus on bullshit? Because even those this is supposedly fact checked and reviewed by dieticians, once they start taking nutritionists and Ayurvedics seriously, all credibility is lost.

      Don’t you think mental health is stigmatized enough without using it to make fun of people you don’t understand?
