I have been getting asked alot , what do you eat? Specially now that you are pregnant. OR I get asked, how are your levels so low and so stable? So I decided to share a preview of what a day looks like on the MPKU diet for me.

Well my go to breakfast in the first trimester was a bowl of the low protein fruity banana mulipa hot cereal. 100 grams is 70 mg phe. Since my morning sickness has switched to mid afternoon/ evening sickness I can now tolerate a big hearty breakfast and my favorite thing to eat every single morning is a low protein cambrooke eggz omelette and country sunrise mushroom burger mix made in the form of sausages. Salt, pepper and maple syrup drizzled on top!  2 bettermilk flavoured with MIO, and my morning vitamins. 1 iron pill , 1 folic acid pill, 1 omega 3 pill and 1 docusate stool softener to fend off constipation. When my tolerance was lower I only had one serving of eggz ( 16 grams of mix and 2 oz coconut milk) but now that I am at 425 I have doubled my eggz recipe to make a bigger omelette. I now use 32 grams ( 1/2 cup ) egz mix and 4 oz coconut milk. I stuff it with mushrooms, onions, garlic , cambrooke mozzarella cheese shreds and tomatoes.

Here is a photo of todays breakfast. The double eggz omelet, 26 grams mushrooms, 30 grams onions and 3 grams garlic. Plus the 2 “sausages” and my 2 bettermilk. For a total of 146 mg phe and 751 calories.

For lunch I will probably have cambrooke mini pizza pockets and fruit, 1 bettermilk , 2 scoops Phenyl ade amino acid blend and mio.

Dinner is usually a pasta salad. 70 grams of my favorite low protein Aproten pasta. 2 tbsp miracle whip to bind it together and then fill it with vegetables. Onions, Garlic, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Peppers, Apples,  sauteed in a fry pan with margarine and spices. If I am to low for PHe  I will add a few grams of frozen  corn to add some extra PHE.

That is pretty much what I eat day to day and it has been working very well for me.
