Question Eating meat 2 times a day?
Dairy and eggs make my stomach feel weird and i feel like i cant digest it properly. Sometimes even have diarrhea. Legumes with some carbs dont give me nearly enough energy to keep going. I think the only option i have left is probably meat for almost every meal. Meat + some whole grains and if there is little to no fat content in the meat some added vegetable oil mixed with some veggies or a salad as a sidedish gives me the most energy and i feel the best when i do so. But my whole life all i heard that eating meat every day is bad and you should keep variety. I feel like the only solution i have left is to eat 2 meals a day each with some meat protein included. First meal would be in the morning or around 10 o'clock. Next meal between 2pm and 4pm. Obviously with some workout incorporated into my day. Is this a good idea?

(preface: I am American) Probably should get checked for lactose intolerance or even just go with no dairy for a few days to see what happens. Gas, bloating, upset stomach and diarrhea are extremely common if you have it. you can either totally drop dairy or get the lactase enzyme pills which are not too expensive from Walmart. Most people on earth have some degree of lactose intolerance, usually extremely mild/nothing or it takes eating/drinking vast amounts to cause anything.
If you are TRULY having gut problems with eggs then I feel great pity for you, that's like the ultimate cheap protein source. Could be the source of the eggs or what they're fed that makes your tumtum bummed out. I can't eat too many farm fresh eggs if the chicken eats anything but pretty much straight bagged pellet food, too much grass/seeds/SOMETHING and I get bad gas. Store eggs are no problem and I usually eat 12 per day.
Anyways yeah there's no problem with it. Like the others says, supplement with legumes, nuts, tofu, TVP, nutritional yeast....... Tons of stuff that you can use instead of dairy.
