I was totally homesick this morning.My daughter was not feeling good and stayed home. I have memories popping up at my mind from my childhood and what would my mom do for me when I didn’t go to school because I was sick. She would prepare one of the best breakfasts to make me feel better. It always had more fat to keep me full all day because she knew I would go without eating for days. So I decided I wanted to piece of Turkish Breakfast this morning.

When you are feeling sick , My recommendation for you to eat more good fat packed foods to make you full. Because fats are higher in calories , 9 gram per calorie.

Good fats to add on to your daily routine.In healthy diet, Fats should make up to %30 of your daily calorie intake.

• Avocado
• olive oil
• coconut oil
• nuts and seeds
• Wild Fish
• Cage free eggs
• Ground Beef , Lean
