What did you eat for your hair today?

Yesterday: Pork and sauerkraut. Skyr with heavy cream. Dark chocolate. Coffee and tea. Electrolytes, D3, and B1.

Today: Boiled eggs and avocado. Champignons, bacon, and goat's cheese. Dark chocolate. Coffee, and tea with ashwagandha. Electrolytes, D3, and B1.

For some reason, I struggled to get in the calories today, but I tried to make the most of it anyway. I don't even feel like eating dark chocolate now like I usually do in the evening. :( Oh well, it's an extraordinarily early start for my fast, I guess.

ETA: Forgot the skyr.

I love dark chocolate in the evening as well. I am kinda weird though and eat it with peanut butter. At least I'm getting some more protein that way!

I had Hawaiian pizza and I'm going to have some leftovers too! Probably not much nutritional value but hey! Some pineapple is better than no pineapple, and surely that's got to do something for the general vibrations of the body.

PS: my vitamin D supplement and an odd Men's One a Day Over 50 vitamin.

Yesterday I ate a chicken ham sandwich with cheese, whole grain bread with tomato sauce, olives and spinach, oatmeal with yogurt, strawberries and honey and some rice with chicken breast.

Fried egg, toast w/apple jelly, sausage links, coffee, and a multivitamin. Tonight I'm making chicken thighs, corn, and baked potatoes.

Porridge with chocolate philadelphia and the scraps left out of my mixed nuts

Salad with avocado, quorn chicken and pumpkin seeds

Lentil curry

Boiled eggs, sauerkraut, and goat's cheese. Mozzarella. Dark chocolate, of course, with almond milk and heavy cream! Coffee, and rosehip tea with ashwagandha. Electrolytes, D3, and B1.

Absolutely! I'm not sure about the protein value of peanut butter, but it sure is yummy and filling!

Peanut butter is an excellent source of protein (20% by weight)!

I eat an egg a day for my hair. I also take cod liver oil every day. Outside of that --- I would love someone on here to make me some recommendations. I have never thought too deeply of what I eat as a contributing factor to my hair quality/growth.

It certainly does contain protein, but just because something contains protein doesn't yet mean we can utilise it. That depends on the specific amino acid profile. Peanuts, like most legumes, are low in methionine, so combining them with, say, eggs, meat or fish, would increase the amount of protein you can utilise by complementing the amino acid profile. Whether that makes for a tasty combination or not is not something I will comment on, though. :D
