One of the biggest struggles with IBD is getting enough protein without digestive backlash.
Here’s a simple structure that works for many athletes:
Base Structure:
• 3 main meals
• 1–2 easy snacks
• Protein in every meal
Examples of generally safer options:
• Eggs
• Salmon
• Chicken
• Tuna
• Greek yogurt
• Protein shakes (low ingredient)
Keep fiber moderate.
Keep ingredients simple.
Avoid stacking multiple “risky” foods in one meal.
You don’t need a complex diet, you need consistency and digestibility.
