Lately I have a tendency to crave protein later in the day, typically for lunch and dinner. In the morning I have generally been feeling alright just with coffee, sugar, and fat. In general solid foods are more appealing to me later in the day.
I want to know if there is anything unhealthy about getting little to no protein for the first half of the day.
I would also like to know if there is a risk of getting too little calcium at the start of the day, as I am consuming several cups of coffee, which I have read may deplete calcium. I tend to get all of my calcium later with lunch and dinner.
My typical morning looks like (9 am to 1pm)
b vitamins, 1/4 teaspoon salt
3 cups coffee, with 6 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons coconut oil: 500 calories
By the end of the day I am getting the proper amount of calories and macros and minerals and vitamins.
If I took a calcium carbonate pill with just sugar and fat, would it be assimilated or does it need protein? I see it is suggested to be taken with food for best absorption, would taking it with coconut oil / sugar / coffee help me from getting osteoporosis?
I don't drink milk, as it tends to make me feel sleepy, and also gives me mucus / indigestion. Also I am confused about the benefits of milk, as the quantity of phosphorous in milk is almost on par with the calcium level... so I am unclear on how that can be a particularly good source of calcium if the ratio of calcum and phos is so important...
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you!
