What did you eat for your hair today?

kale, some fruit, and whole grains, almond butter, and fish oil :)

Started off this morning with a nice healthy serving of....bacon and eggs. Protein and calories because I'm trying to gain a couple pounds.

I'll be having tuna salad sandwich for lunch (without mayo) and I'm thinking of making chicken for dinner tonight with a green salad on the side.

I know I'll snack on veggies and nuts as the day goes on.

But man...gaining weight is hard when you have a fast metabolism and have to walk or bike everywhere :/ I feel bad about complaining about it but I lost a lot of weight due to a stomach illness and am having a difficult time gaining the last couple of pounds back.

I don't eat things specifically for my hair. I just go about with my regular diet (vegetarian) and my body (which then extends to the new growth of hair) seems to like that.

I've noticed the same thing about myself. The healthier I eat, the less appealing sugary junk food becomes. If I go without eating my normal healthy diet, the sugar/junk food is definitely craved more.

So far, a green smoothie (sounds worse than it is) which included lots of good greens (spinach), fruits (avocado, banana, and blueberry), spices (cocao powder, cinnamon, turmeric and ginger), proteins (pumpkin seeds), and fats (flax seeds and coconut butter).

It takes a while before I stop craving deep-fried food, but I stop craving refined sugars quickly.

Almonds (I try to eat them every day, but just ~ten or so every morning), some water and a multivitamin pill. Otherwise I haven't been very healthy today.

I need to drink way more water, for one (!). I've only had one glass so far, and it's almost 11 PM...

so far, high fibre breakfast cereal and semi skim milk, raspberries, banana. Then a chicken, mayo with salad sandwich, a boiled egg. My multi vit and iron. Regular gulps of water! Dinners goin to be high protein. Slow cooked Pork and veggies!

Breakfast/Morning- Home baked raspberry/blueberry/coconut/almond muffins - gluten free as I have been for 25 years...

Lunch- Home made soup

This evening will be roast chicken, with gluten free sage,onion and apple stuffing, roast sweet potatoes/roasted white potatoes and parsnips, steamed carrots and broccoli and served with a reduced sherry, chicken stock, fresh tarragon and cream sauce/gravy :)

supplements: transdermal magnesium, zinc, multivit

and....

Apple cider vinegar- unpasterised in 8 fl oz water.....

I agree with this statement 110%! If I am straying from my regular diet, then I find it a lot easier to consume unhealthy foods.
Today I had a spinach, blueberry, banana, coconut milk, and flax seed smoothie, two whole grain vegan apple cinnamon waffles, a MorningStar faux sausage patty, and a dish I made using tofu shirataki noodles, broccoli, mushrooms, and vegan 'cheese'. I don't really eat certain things for my hair, but I always try to eat healthy for my overall well-being. (i.e. Plenty of vegetables, fruits, nuts, etc.. Which are good "hair foods" anyways! :p)
