Alpha Blondy Posted March 13, 2013 does a balanced Somali diet exist? Somali food is everything but balanced ma istidhi? it's terrible, boring, repetitive and isn't exactly healthy. i'm sick of eating the same stuff every day..... except Friday's where i always have my special qado...... i created this thread in the hope we could share ideas on how to maintain a balanced somali diet. if you could also post what you eat on a regular basis, that'll be useful.

underdog Posted March 13, 2013 Breakfast (7am): one omelet (eggs, tuna, onions, green peppers) wrapped in malawax. 500ml water, glass of orange juice and double shot espresso. mid morning (10:30am): Fruit salad (plums, pineapple chunks, watermelon etc) lunch (1:30) rice/pasta with chicken breast and spinach/broccoli/cabbage and a banana. Bottle of water . mid afternoon (5:00) Handful of honey-roasted almonds dinner (8pm) Chicken breast/ salmon steak, steamed veggies There are variation to the combo but I think you get the idea.
