I'm sick of my usual breakfast of egg whites and bread with strawberry jam and coffee
I like eggs but not egg whites particularly if I would be eating it everyday. I like eating whole eggs, it is one of the best form of protein that can nourish a person. However I was getting an overdose of Phosphorus because maybe I was only using Calcium Carbonate as my phosphate binder. I am using 1.2 grams of calcium per meal but now I am taking double that amount of Calcium because the recent test shows that my blood has still a low amount of calcium.
It just means that I have a high phosphorus level in my body which was maybe the reason that my back was aching again all because of my consumption of whole eggs. So I cut back not the whole eggs but only its egg whites now so that I can get some protein but less phosphorus. It is said that an egg contains about 95 mg of Phosphorus. I was eating about ten eggs per week before but now I am only eating the whites of eggs as my protein source which I really need in order not to shed more weight.
I also like to eat eggs because it is easier to chew and eat. I do not like chewing hard foods particularly meats which are not tender. My jaw would get tired and my mouth would develop sores for the reason of the physical condition of my mouth. That is why I preferred to eat eggs for it is friendlier for my mouth and the protein that it gives me.
However, I am still not able to consume the right amount of protein even if I would consume eggs. Now that I took off the yolk, I am getting less protein compared before. But even though I was consuming about ten eggs per week, I am still not able to make a difference on my body weight. So it is frustrating because if I would consume more protein it will also make me feel sick because of the by-products of protein like creatinine, urea, nitrogen, and ammonia in my body.
I am also careful not to eat too much for the fear of developing diabetes which also comes when a person eats and drinks sugary foods plus fat. But I needed more calories and fats so it comes an a dilemma for me particularly now that I am near for being a middle-aged person with an underlying disease process. It just shows that I am in a very complicated situation where every move that I make will make or break me because imbalance in my body is what makes me feel ill all the time until physical changes had happened already and is still plaguing me with pain and weakness.
