Gosh, I remember that time! And it has to be tougher for you, because you're so lean already! So you really don't have lots of reserves to at least quench hunger and create food ambivalence. ((hugs)). Are you vegan or lacto ovo vegetarian?

I'm neither. I eat mostly plant based except the occasional egg, tuna or salmon. But mind you, good tuna steak or wild salmon are either hard to get in my part of the country and/or really expensive so it's more like a treat than regular food.

With eggs it's a little bit like that I crave them sometimes, have hard boiled egg, scrambled egg, fried egg etc. and then I don't want to eat them for like a month or so.

I can't have dairy though. I usually use soy as replacement. Tastes best to me. I don't like the almond or oat stuff.

Ok, so try this. You can google or YouTube either Anthony Bourdain doing eggs this way or Gordon Ramsay. I think they will be soft enough to fit in with puree stage, but will provide savory "chew".

I make "soft scrambled eggs" by Tony's method. I cook them slowly (and usually I mix them 1 whole egg to 1-2 egg whites) and split with Mr. F. cuz the fat in the yolk doesn't always sit well with me. But at about the 3/4 way mark, I mix in a heaping spoon of plain Greek yogurt. And stir the crap outta it until it looks creamy dreamy with small curds of soft egg.

You can also spice it how you want. Sometimes I add a few drops of toasted sesame oil and beat a little tamari into it if I'm jonesin' for Asian...
