He made dinner AND brought it to me while doing homework, sometimes I’m spoilt. #masters #homework #homecookedmeal ##spoiledgirlfriend #fodmapfree #eatingishard #heskillinit #greensaregood

Let’s talk about what many people consider the most difficult lifestyle change in the U.S. and Senegal: diet. In America I found eating well difficult because there are so many temptations easily accessible. Here, it’s also a matter of availability, but in this case it’s the inaccessibility of the “good stuff” (i.e. nutrient rich veggies, fruits, and meat). To make things even more complicated, I’m living on a PCV budget which can go quickly if I don’t plan. My solution? Try a little harder and make my diet a priority.

My goal this month is to consistently consume 100g of protein a day. For the past 10 months I’ve been averaging 10g a day. In order to hit that 100g I have stocked up on what I can rely on including tuna, sardines, and protein powder. I also splurge a little to have eggs and meat (when it’s available). To get a variety of vegetables, I travel 117km and transport them back. There are some vegetables available closer, but not with the same consistency. I will never say it’s difficult to eat healthy in the U.S. again. If I can do this here, I can do it anywhere.
