I need ideas!

Glad to help Mamazee ;).

Puddings and custards are a bit challenging to me since my body doesn't agree with eggs so much anymore.

Paleo/SCD cooking requires quite a bit of eggs, esp. if you use coconut flour. I learned a few egg replacement tips that will do the trick though...

Chestnut flour is more starch than protein but it's very nutritious and filling. There are days when I don't eat well enough in terms of quantity and/or quality and a chestnut pudding will fill my belly + keep me going. Not to mention that it's naturally sweet (I usually don't need to add anything) and I think it's a little chocolaty in terms of flavor ;).

Note that I'm not a big meat eater. My body seems to agree with "primal body, primal mind" in the sense that I usually don't need more than 2-3oz of protein per meal (I'm also not a hardcore exerciser, far from that) but I do lots of veggies & leafy greens, some fruits & berries and a healthy dose of fats/nuts. I've also been craving more fish lately. Sometimes you just have to follow your cravings, since that's usually what the body needs...
