Really need to up protein first thing in the morning. No idea how though as I don’t like eating on waking. Thinking of giving up my chai, but what to replace it with, that’s just as easy? I drink it cold, so it’s just a matter of pouring in in a glass. Any ideas?

I'm not a huge morning eater either, but I typically make a smoothie with something like (chocolate) hummus or a nut butter. I usually throw in yogurt and soy milk in there too with all the other stuff (greens, fruits, a handful of oats, whatever spices might go with it).

I think there already is (or something similar to it) in the health&exercise forums, but if you wanted to make one bipolar specific since the meds almost always make that harder, I think that'd be fine. I'd probably be triggered by it, personally, but it's easy enough to put a thread on ignore.

It doesn't really feel ED-related though. I get I mentioned the thoughts were getting worse, but I'm not actively putting in effort to lose, at least not like that. No purging, eating at every meal every day, normal activity levels. Maybe I'm oblivious to my eating habits or my liver's worse or the BC switch is doing something.
