I didn't have the best breakfast or lunch, but I had a superfood Odwalla smoothie with spirulina and I'm currently making dinner. On the menu tonight is rosemary lemon chicken breast with garlic, spinach, and quinoa.
My diet is about to be crap for the next week or two due to finals/having to clean out my cupboards. My goal is to have a healthy dinner at least.
I have been lacking fruit & veg of late,last few days have been getting over my five a day & feeling well for it. so today I have had a handful of cherry tomatoes, peanut butter, beef egg noodle soup with a portion of broccoli. snack of fresh peaches and cream, Lunch will be rice and spicy bamboo pork, a fried egg with a side salad of lettuce, long red pepper, beetroot, celery. Dinner will be crispy chicken drumsticks and roasted butternut squash and green beans with tomato and onion salad. Dessert of tinned pineapple & cream.
My silica, my multi-vitamin and not so much more :)
Black coffee
Boiled egg
Saw palmetto tincture- I take it for other reasons, but I feel it supports hair growth
Fish- ocean perch, which is one of my least favorite kinds of fish, but I had some filets (and not much else) in the freezer, so I baked them in a wine/lite soy sauce/garlic/lemon balm mixture, and it was pretty good
Brown rice- baked with turmeric, cayenne, cumin, and other spices
+peas, onion, corn
Water!
Today I had nettle tea and organic whole-wheat bread. Unfortunately it might get cancelled out by only having five hours of sleep, but hey, I'm a college student!
Egg noodles with pork. A smoked salmon with avocado sandwich. Lots of water. Multi vit plus iron. Dinner will involve fried steak in butter. Think I'll have it in a roll with fried onions & wont forget curly fries! Might help me have curls ;D will also grab a chicken burger while out in the eve.
10 meatless high protein foods http://www.cookinglight.com/food/veg...rians/view-all Greek Yogurt seems to be the way to go :-)
How many nice ideas for hair-friendly food in this thread! I am currently focusing on water: being in my first trimester of pregnancy, I can't eat much, but I will try to apply some of the suggestions posted here as soon as the nausea allows me!
I'm going to have an avocado :D
I just swallowed a spoonful of flax seed oil............................................... .
Great ideas here. Glad I read this post and notes have been taken x

Eggs and avocado for breakfast :) We'll see how lunch goes.
I've just started to really use my blender and I made up a smoothie with my 3 loves- chocolate, peanut butter, and pumpkin! You can use cocoa powder, but I used chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, and pumpkin puree with almond milk and ice cubes, and a tablespoon of chia seeds. That's what I've had...so far.
Woodruff jelly (gelatin), bone broth and a boiled egg. Standard breakfast for the last few weeks... quick, cheap, easy and protein-rich ;)
Kombucha jello, 8 eggs, prenatal vitamins, chicken bone and seaweed broth. Just the hair-oriented stuff, I ate other stuff, too.
Somebody is doing it right. I had liver yesterday and regularly eat avocados. Amazing on every level.Quote:
<3 Liver
<3 Butter
<3 Avocado
Had 1/2 pound of chicken liver and 8 eggs, a mouthful of dulce and normal dose prenatal vitamins.
Salmon yesterday (biotin).
8 eggs???? My sister was warned by the doctor that eating 6 eggs a day was unhealthy.... Isn't 1 egg a day enough? I don't mean to be rude or anything, I just wouldn't want to see you overdoing things for the sake of growing hair.Quote:

I'm not a doctor of course, but please just be sure you aren't doing anything detrimental to your health due to your hair! :P
Yeah.. I agree as well! All this cholesterol and choline intake are just plain unhealthy. Not to mention saturated fat. And as the yolk is what embryos need to survive, there's a lot of vitamin A, E and D as well.. and overdosing these (fat-soluble vitamins can be stored in liver) is bad. No need to cut down on them completely, what I'm saying is that moderation is key!Quote:

Your doctor is a lying thief scumbag who wants you to be sick so he can sell you pills. Take most of what he tells you about food, and do the exact opposite if you want optimal health.

8 eggs and 12 ounces of salmon, sheep bone broth with seaweed and added gelatin.
My boyfriends out of town, so I'm having tons and tons of garlic! Garlic is supposed to be so good for hair growth and its delicious (: Im also having lots of spinach, kale, and celery
Didn't know that about garlic! I do eat it rather often. Hmm, I should just formulate a daily hair broth...
5 pieces of bacon and 600 calories of mozzarella cheese. Saturated fat is good for skin and hair. Prenatal vitamins.
Last night's broth was lamb bones, gelatin, seaweed, and diatomaceous earth with a splash of kombucha vinegar to help dissolve the bones in the pressure cooker. I let it stew 45 minutes this time and it was super cloudy, largely from the DE, I'm sure, but those bones were very soft coming out. Good stuff.
I forgot about garlic!
A banana, an apple, turkey sandwich. Cucumber, tomatoes. Vit & mineral supplement. Beef meatballs. Also spicy lime & garlic rice with mixed seafood(prawn, mussels & squid).
I think a while ago on this post someone suggested an egg-banana pancake...I have been switching between eating eggs w/veggies in it, oatmeal w/bananas and cinnamon, and egg-banana pancakes. Also a green smoothie with that. Egg-banana pancakes usually have cinnamon eggs and banana. IDK if cinnamon is a specifically heathly spice for the hair but I know its heathly. Egg-banana pancakes are usually soft like a cooked egg but also taste close to panrcake. Since then I have experimented to try and get the texture of the egg-banana pancake closer to a realistic regular pancake but also being healthy . What I came up with a while ago is I blend a container of oatmeal into oatmeal flour and add some oatmeal flour to the egg-banana pancake. blending 1 container of oatmeal flour is enough flour to make a lot of days worth of egg-banana pancakes. Just a few days I thought of a way to reduce the amount of oatmeal flour I use on each egg-banana pancake so I can probably now only have to blend a container of oatmeal every month and a half to two months rather than every 2-3 weeks.
I used chia seeds w/water.
I mixed the fully water expanded chia seeds with the cinnamon.
The chia -cinnamon mix became kind of a thick goopy substance that when mixed turned into a thick goopy ball
It became so thick already that the first day I didn't even use oatmeal flour.
+2 egg +2 banana mixed ......
After that I added a little bit of the eggs combined w/ mashed bananas to the chia-cinnamon mixture in hopes that it would still stay pretty thick and maybe with the extra moisture the chia seeds would expand a little more(I think maybe they did expand a little bit more IDK :) )
the mixture was still pretty thick.
then I slowly added the rest of the egg/banana mixture
cooked that up on the skillet like a pancake and when done it was definitely thicker and a different texture than if it was only eggs,bananas and cinnamon.
The next day I decided to add a little bit of oatmeal flour to the chia-cinnamon goopy ball....just a teaspoon of oatmeal flour made the goopy ball much thicker and I had quite thick pancakes.
The next day after that I decided to add more oatmeal flour (like 2.5 tablespoons of oatmeal flour) and even a tiny, tiny bit of baking powder to goopy cinnachia ball. It was so thick that I decided to add some soy milk to the final egg-banana-chia-cinnamon mixture. These pancakes came out really good and tasted very close to real pancakes. the mixture made like 5-6 small pancakes just with these ingredients:
Cinnachia ballnana pancakes-
2 eggs
2 bananas
1-2 tablespoons chia seeds added to some water(enough water for decent expansion)
2-5 teaspoons cinnamon depending on how much you like cinnamon
0-2.5 tablespoons oatmeal flour
tiny,tiny bit of baking powder or soda(probably not healthy for hair so you can leave out if wanted)
little bit of milk/soy milk/almond milk if mixture is too thick.
duplicate post deleted
I eat eggs, meat and chiken, proteins, and sea of vegetables)
Pineapple! Gotta get that b-6!!
2 cups of raw milk, some plantain chips in palm oil, and some roasted almonds in sea salt. Whole duck in the cooker now.
The usual broth seaweed, gelatin, etc.
Isn't everything we eat to stay alive helping our hair? I mean, the farther from dead we are the better our hair grows, right? Yes, yes, hair grows after death. But you know what I mean. Even the ghetto people who had ramen noodles are feeding themselves, staying undead, and thereby growing hair. Or is this specifically about things meant to help hair above and beyond typical dietary meanderings?
6 fish oil capsules (BLECH), calcium + vit d supplement, biotin and folic acid.
Food wise so far? Dried seaweed with olive oil, turkey salad with dark leafy greens.
